6th Anniversary Katie and JD!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I am so excited for Katie and JD&#8230;today is their 6 year wedding anniversary and they are going to become parents in 8 weeks!\u00a0 Katie posted that on her facebook page this morning and it made me wonder&#8230;where have all the years gone?\u00a0 It seems like just yesterday that Katie and I were sharing a room together&#8230;sisters who are so much closer now with 400 miles between us!\u00a0 I have fond memories of making a line down the middle of our room that we dared the other to cross.\u00a0 The bathroom was on my side of the room and the door to exit the room was on Katie&#8217;s.\u00a0 Since we have a brother to round out our 3 sibling set, our childhood was always a lot of fun when two of us would gang up on the other one&#8230;.usually Kevin and Katie against me!\u00a0 But&#8230;to this day, I wouldn&#8217;t change a thing about growing up with them and am particularly grateful today for my sweet sister Katie and her incredible husband JD.\u00a0 They are two of the kindest and most generous people that you could ever know.\u00a0 We just returned from spending a week with them for Christmas.\u00a0 In two weeks we will return to Memphis to throw a baby shower for Katie and then six weeks later we will head back to meet Baby Graffam.\u00a0 Our sweet daughter Emma is just as excited as we are and I know she will be a great cousin!\u00a0 From the moment that Emma first met Katie and JD, she has absolutely adored them and the feeling has been mutual as you can see in the picture below.<\/p>\n<p><a
