8 years babe. It has been an adventure, and I expect it will continue to be. I’m excited for the season we are in and grateful for the seasons God has brought us through. Thank you for being my helpmate.

Thank you for not dumping me at the altar as I licked my lips ready for you to be my bride.

Thank you for holding me back so I wouldn’t tell our pastor to get on with it.

Thank you for making me laugh and allowing me the privilege of bringing laughter to your life.

Thank you for never giving up on the plans that God created for us. When this picture was taken we had no idea the hell our life was about to go through. But we also didn’t know just how much our God loves us. I truly believe that while I wouldn’t wish that dark valley on anyone, it has made us stronger and his given our marriage the character it has needed to get us to the happiness we now experience. You may quite possibly be my exact opposite, and I am grateful that God has shown me just how beautiful that is.

Most of you weren’t at the wedding (we only invited 70, if that). So here are a couple of highlights:

We didn’t make everyone eat out of the same dry cake. Instead each table had its own cake, each a different flavor. We didn’t do dancing (because I’m sure Carrie would’ve divorced me on the spot if she saw me dance) so we encouraged people to get up and try their neighbors cake too. Loads of fun.

Our party favor was a CD mix of some of our favorite songs.

My favorite picture.

And one last one because he’s just so darned cute. Yep, that’s Ty.

Be Sociable, Share!
