ten years

This past weekend Brian and I were able to head out of town to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We went to the mountains near C'ville and a town called Orange County. Having forty eight hours to talk to my husband without any interruptions was my highlight. It's amazing how life with three kids makes it hard for us to really connect sometimes.

The fact it's been ten years really blows my mind. Sometimes I think it has had to be that long to accomplish what we have done in ten years. Other times I am truly amazed that it's been that long. I remember when I first met Brian. I wasn't particularly nice...although I thought he was cute. I had my eyes set on some other boy. 5 months later and three requests for a date later...I finally decided to give it a chance. Truth is...I really liked him all along. Everyone could see it. I just needed the time for God to work in my heart to make me ready for him. Our first date I think we both knew this was headed somewhere. Almost nine months later we were engaged. 5 months later married. And the rest is history.

I just cannot believe I was able to meet someone so supportive, caring, loving, mature, funny, God fearing, sexy, and by far my best friend in the whole world and that he could love me!!!

Thank God that he brought us together and I with only His strength I feel certain it will last forever.

I love that man!!!!
