9 years



June 6, 1998- Marc and I said our "I do's" in front of family and friends in Dallas, TX. I can hardly believe it's been 9 years! Really!?! I was 21 and he was 22, about to be 23. I can't believe how young we were! I didn't feel young though, I was sure I was mature and ready to tackle anything that came our way! What an adventure this has been!

We met on campus through mutual friends. I remember our first date. I remember the first time I knew I was in love with him. I remember our first "discussion". I remember the date we had the night he graduated and I still had 2 years of school left... I was devastated to say the least! I still feel like we should be young college newlyweds! But I suppose after 9 years and 2 children later, we don't really count as newlyweds.

I'm so grateful for my husband. God knew exactly what He was doing when He put us together. We have been through so much together and I look forward to many more adventures with him!

Happy Anniversary Honey, I love you more than ever! Thank you for choosing me!

(I had to scan this photo of us, sorry it's not very good quality. Don't you just love the big huge bouquet and the look on our faces! Man, I didn't realize how fair skinned I really am! I wish I could blame it on the scanner, but I don't think I can.)
