5 Years and Counting...

We met in 00-01. We weren't exactly best friends at first but occasionally hung out. I'm going to guess this is towards the end of the year when we decided to be friends. There is a devo. at ACU called "9:00". It's a bunch of college kids together, singing acapella style to start the week off. The summer after freshman year is when we started becoming better friends, emailing and talking more.

4 years later, 2 years of dating...we were engaged. Blake proposed in his parents backyard and asked my family to fly in to be a part of the evening. It was a surprise to me-after bid night I might add so I am going on no sleep! We went and looked for rings that day which put me in a very bad mood to say the least. He totally threw me off. It was a perfect night, and one he had planned and thought out for a long time.

We got married that summer in the Pierces backyard. It was beautiful. It did rain that day, as in a small hurricane but it cooled everything off and the girls went barefoot for the evening. Most people wouldn't do their wedding the same if they could go back-not me, I loved it (doesn't surprise you huh)!

We went to Capri Italy for our honeymoon. So there are a few dreams that have come true...marrying Blake and honeymoon in Italy! It was wonderful (besides getting sick) it was perfect! This is when we ventured off on a little hike for the day. We did this often and encountered stairs a lot!

This is a HOT photo of Blake in London on our way back. Isn't it the perfect picture?

Here's to you, love....thanks for the past 5 years of marriage. What a wonderful 5 years we've had. There have been many answered prayers that we have prayed for each other a long the way. I was in love with the man I met, and even more in love with who you are today. Looking forward to a lifetime.
