It's our Anniversary!!!!!




Four years ago today I married the love of my life. I cannot believe it's been 4 years already. Time really does fly.

I'm so blessed that God brought my husband into my life. He is my best friend. He is truly an amazing husband and I could not imagine anyone else as the father of my child(ren).

We've been tested in our 4 years and like every marriage, have had to work hard at times. But isn't it so worth it?? Anything in life that is worth having, is worth working hard for. It's worth it b/c the good times so out way any bad that may come our way!!!

So much has happened in the past four years, we bought a house, adopted 3 dogs, traveled, started a business, had a baby...and so much more!! These past four years have been absolutely wonderful!!! A little crazy at times, but wonderful!!!

Here's a little wedding recap!!


Ok this one needs a caption...It is one of my favorite pictures ever. For some odd reason I thought I could steam my dress with my iron the day of the wedding. Obviously that won't work...so here I am ironing wrinkles out of my dress before the ceremony!











I do have a funny Anniversary story for ya. Every year on our Anniversary, something BAD happens.

Our 1st Anniversary - I had just lost my job

Our 2nd Anniversary - our AC went out the night before our Anniversary. We all (us and our 4 dogs) slept in the living room. We had EVERY fan that we owned going and it was still 95*. It was miserable. We ending up spening our Anniversary night at my inlaw's house.

Our 3rd Anniversary - our AC completely died, resulting in $6000 for a new AC and damages it did to the house. We had gone out to a very nice dinner at the Melting Pot...Kenley was with my inlaws and when we all got home, there was water on the upstairs baby gate. I immediately blamed the dogs but then logic set in and I noticed the water dripping from our soaked ceiling. It was an awful end to what had been a wonderful evening.

Our 4th Anniversary - so far so good! We still have AC which is more than I can say for the past 2 years!!

You know, even though our Anniversaries have had disaster strike...they all are great stories to tell and they still mark another year of our marriage. When we're 90 we can sit around and laugh about those first 3 years and how God got us through it!

We hope to celebrate our 5th Anniversary with a second honeymoon, heading back to one of the Sandals resorts in the Caribbean...maybe Jamaica?? We met a dear couple on our honeymoon that we still keep in touch with and we've always said we would all do our 5 year Anniversary together. I can't wait!!!! Although I am a little scared to travel if our Anniversary curse doesn't break this year! haha

Here are a few pictures from our past Anniversaries!!


1st Anniversary at Village Tavern


2nd Anniversary in front of the Bellagio - we got to go to Vegas for Photoshop World that year and it was about a month after our actual Anniversary...so for all you Friends fans out there...it was our AnniVEGASry!!!!!


3rd Anniversary - on our way to the Melting Pot! I could eat their chocolate fondue EVERYDAY!!!! (this is obviously before the AC died)

Hey I'm proud that I was able to wear the same shirt just a month and a half after having a 10lb baby! :o)
