Happy 8th Anniversary!!

(Gonna try to find a pic of us to put on here.  Check back!)

On this day, 8 years ago, I married my best friend.  I was 13 when we met.  He asked me out one month later and we've been together ever since.  I loved him from the first conversation we had and I know that sounds a little silly, but God connected us for a reason.  We met at bible school at my dad's church which was also where Scottie went to church.  This was the place that he grew up in.  He literally took his first steps as a baby in the back of the church.  This is where we both got saved.  The pastor there would later marry us, and this is the first church that our firstborn son ever went to.  God is the whole reason we have each other.  He has led us to each other and kept us ever since that first day.  We have been through SO MUCH together.  I really don't know who or where I'd be without Scottie.  He's held me through good times, bad times, really great times, and horribly tough times.  We've had our share of spats and make-ups as every couple does.  But even in the worst of times, I could never imagine life without him.  His love is the most wonderful thing that has come into my life (besides Jesus) and he gave me the next 2 best parts of my life....our boys.  I am so amazed that he has stuck by and loved me as we have literally grown up together.  We have dated for 1/2 of my entire life.  I'm almost 28 years old and 14 years after I first laid eyes on him, I'm more in love now than ever.  All 8 years of our marriage haven't been just wonderful and happy every single moment, but I have never, not for one minute regretted giving him my whole heart on that beautiful day, the 31st day of August 2002. 

Scottie, I love you with all of my heart.  I have loved you since we were kids, and I'll love you until the day I die.  Thank you so much for being there for me and all the sacrifices you've made for our family.  You are my best friend and I thank God for putting you in my life. 

Happy 8th Anniversary to me and Scottie!!
