Then And Now (Eight Years And Counting....)

Eight years ago I hit the jackpot.  I won the lottery.  I said "I do," to the greatest guy I know.  I married my best friend.  I was one lucky lady.

Here we are on our wedding day, at the young ages of 24 on August 17, 2002:




Here we are on our honeymoon - at a hotel bar in Cancun, Mexico:

Today in 2010 I'm still a very lucky lady.  I am still holding onto that winning prize.  Each day I hold his hand (my Willy Wonka golden ticket). 

I am still married to my best friend.  Only now it is an even greater friendship, an even deeper love that we cherish more. 

I will continue to say "I do," every day for the rest of my life.  Because I know he is the man meant for me!


Here are Kirk and I pictured just a few days ago, on our most recent romantic getaway.   (Alone time that we have not experienced in over three years!!!)  We are celebrating eight years of marriage at age 32 years old: 



Not bad for an old married couple, right?!  ;-)  We still know how to enjoy each other's company and have a great time!




And we still like to have a drink at the bar.  This time it was in Point Clear, Alabama just a short drive from our home.  But still enjoyable and effective!  :-)


Happy Anniversary to the both of us!  I love you Kirk!  Thank you for marrying me, for loving me and for always being my wonderful partner.
