This past weekend, Mike and I "made it" to our 9 month anniversary, which I must say, is slightly significant. That is exactly the length of time we dated before we got engaged, not to mention the time it takes for baby's to come about (generally). Which means we've been together for longer than most of the people on reality TV!!! So I took an idea from a friend and wanted to post about Mikey-cheeks. Here goes:
