11 Years!

Eleven years ago today I married my best friend! I knew from the 1st time we met in 9th grade that there was something special about him. He is so many things. When I think of the passage about love in 1 Corinthians I think about Matt, he embodies love (or at least in my eyes). He is so many things...christian, father, husband, brother, son and friend. When we started dating our senior year it didn't take long for me to realize that this is who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with (and to this day I have spent 1/2 of my life with him). We weren't the couple that everyone thought would last once school was over but we showed them :) I can't imagine anyone else by my side as I walk through this life! He is my best friend! These past 11 years have brought many things to our lives both good and bad. Our marriage is stronger than ever! I say this not to brag that we are the "perfect" couple b/c we aren't. It is just an huge accomplishment that I am extremely proud of since in today's world marriage isn't thought of that highly most of time.

Here we are in the beginning (our senior year of high school)



11 years ago (we look so young here)



And here we are today :)




While scrapbooking our life I found this quote that I just love

"Grow old with me! The best is yet to be..." Robert Browning

Matt, grow old with me! I love you more than I did 11 yrs ago. I am proud to say that you are my husband and the father of our 3 children. I look forward to spending 50+ more years with you by my side. I look forward to the things God has in store for us. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. I love you!
