Happy Anniversary!

Two years ago seems like just yesterday.  A brief period of time, really.  December 15, 2007.  It rained cats and dogs.  Four inches of rain in that one day. 

But I didn't care.  Rain or not, I was marrying the love of my life.  In this church.



Tim walked up the aisle to get me.  This was the first we'd seen each other all day.


We prayed together


We shared the Lord's Supper together



And we laughed together!  See, we'd turned to face the congregation, and as our pastor was pronouncing us, I was as giddy as a little school girl.  Tim was as solemn as could be.  God love him, he was so nervous.  So, Steve, the pastor, stops whatever he was saying and says, "I don't know what's going on on the other side, but y'all aren't listening to a word I'm saying!"  The congregation laughed!!


We danced!  Oh, boy did we dance! "Everything" by Michael Buble was the song we danced to! 
So much fun!! 


And we began this journey of marriage together.  Two years ago day.  And I couldn't be happier with the amazing blessing this gift has been. 

Tim, the day I met you I knew something was different about you.  You know this, but I told my friend, "I'm going to get to know that Tim guy."  Our second date, I went home and told my momma this was one different.  I just knew I'd marry you.  Shortly thereafter, I was head over heels in love with you.  And I couldn't imagine falling deeper in love with you.  But I did.  When you proposed to me, sitting on a swing at the King & Prince in St. Simons, I couldn't imagine loving you more than I did that very second.  Eight months later, when I married you, I loved you more than I ever dreamed imaginable.  And today, two years later, I'm absolutely, 150%, no-doubt-about-it, head over heels, madly, deeply, forever in love with you.  You're God's Best for me. 

Happy Anniversary!!  The Best is Surely Yet to Come!

"Everything" ~ Michael Buble


You're a falling star, you're the get away car.

You're the line in the sand when I go too far.

You're the swimming pool, on an August day.

And you're the perfect thing to say.


And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.

Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.

Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.

'cause you can see it when I look at you.


And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, you make me sing.

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.



You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,

And you light me up, when you ring my bell.

You're a mystery, you're from outer space,

You're every minute of my everyday.


And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,

And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.

Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,

And you know that's what our love can do.


And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, you make me sing.

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're every song, and I sing along.

'Cause you're my everything.

Yeah, yeah
