Nine years...

"How beautiful is the day that is touched by love.."

Tomorrow Robert and I will celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe nine years have come and gone and I am still married to this wonderful man. In nine years, we've moved twice. We've changed jobs, moved away from our families, struggled to get pregnant, lost a baby, worked in full time ministry, and adopted a beautiful daughter. I can't imagine living this life with anyone else.

If you know my husband, you know what a kind, humble man he really is. He will give you the shirt off his back (or the car he is driving). He is compassionate, patient, and totally in love with his Savior. I can honestly say the best thing about him is that he loves the Lord more than he loves me. How lucky am I?

We are not perfect, and never will be. But I know this for certain, he is my best friend. He is who knows me best, he is who loves me at my worst, and encourages me to be my best. I can't imagine a better husband for me, or a better father for our sweet Maisie.

Happy Anniversary, Babe. I love you..

Where Has the Time Gone?

Where does the time go? Does it ever slow down?

Last weekend, me and these three girls hosted a BBQ for some of our old classmates. It's been 10 years since we graduated! I can hardly believe the time has flown so quickly!

This is Luci. She is incredibly gorgeous, always has been. I don't think she has changed even a little bit since we graduated. She is hilarious and so sweet, always has been!

This is my sweet friend Elizabeth. We've been friends since Kindergarten. She and I have had our ups and downs. High school was rough on our friendship for a few years, but thankfully, we got past all that drama! I love her so much, and can't imagine us not being friends.

This is my sweet friend Emma. We've been super close since the tenth grade. She is hilarious. I love our friendship. We can talk for hours about nothing. We can go weeks with out speaking, and pick up right where we left off. I love it and I love her!

We had our party at the MS Petrified Forest. It was super hot, but so much fun! We were missing several of our classmates, and hope to have another gathering very soon so we can see them too! Someone said while we are hanging out "Do y'all realize that if we wait another 10 years to get together, we'll all be almost 40!" I almost choked on my food! I can assure you, it won't be another 10 years before we see each other again!
