4017 Days

It really doesn't sound like a lot, does it ... 4017 days!
But, that's how many days Matt and I have been married!

11 years ago at 9:00am we got married in the Salt Lake Temple.
573 weeks ago at 11:30am we were at Cowboy Grub for lunch.
96,408 hours ago at 2:00pm we were preparing for our reception.
5,784,480 minutes ago at 6:00pm we celebrated w/friends & family.
347,068,800 seconds ago at 8:00pm we were on our honeymoon.

What else happened September 27, 1996?
  • Princess Iman bint Al Abdullah II was born.
  • In Afghanistan, the Taliban captured the capital city of Kabul, after driving out President Burhanuddin Rabbani and executing former leader Mohammad Najibullah.

What was the world like then?

  • Bill Clinton was President
  • There were no iPods
  • 9/11 had not happened
  • It had been two months since the bombing at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta (which I watched in Matt's basement)
  • Princess Diana was still alive, and recently divorced
  • O.J. Simpson trial was about to begin
  • Nearing the 1996 Presidential Election where Bill Clinton would begin his second term
  • Ninetendo 64 was released that summer
  • No Google?! (which is 9-years old today)

I love how you've broken down the specific hours, minute, days, etc. You are so creative! I also love the flash-back to the world 11 years ago. Congrats on 11 fabulous years of marriage. You are both the best!
