Joyeux Anniversaire!

(Papa, Grandma and Kenadie, July 2009)

Happy Anniversary
to two of my favorite people! 
Garrett has been blessed with wonderful parents;
I am blessed with such amazing and supportive in-laws;
Kenners is blessed to have loving and doting grandparents.
We love you, Mom and Dad! 

Today also marks the 9 year anniversary of Garrett being bitten by a rattlesnake. 
 (shivers!)

It is kind of a weird anniversary to celebrate,
but it was a major milestone in Garrett's life.
The event put him on bed rest for a month and nearly cost him his life.
But this event also began the process of Garrett making some major changes in his life that led him to serve a mission for our church, get his education, and ultimately meet and marry me. :)
So thank you, Mr. Rattlesnake, for biting my sweetheart in the ankle 9 years ago today.
If it weren't for you, our family may not exist today!

I agree, they are some of the best grandparents any kids could ask for! :)
