5 Years of Marriage!!!

This past Saturday, August 23rd, we celebrated our 5 year Anniversary! It's hard to imagine that 5 years have already gone by! But, when you are spending them with your best friend, who watches the time??? We had a fun day, we went to Roanoke, watched a movie, ate out, and did some shopping.

Bryan was so sweet and sent roses to me at work. I LOVE getting flowers! It makes my day, and makes me feel special. Just like Bryan!
They were beautiful! And they smelled delicious!!!

And of course,,, the card:-)

I must say, and some may disagree, but Bryan is the best, sexiest husband in the world! He has made me happy beyond my wildest dreams! When I prayed as a teenager for my husband, I had no idea how above and beyond God would go with my simple requests. In fact, I had written down everything that I wanted in a husband, this was a few pages long, and Bryan was everything that was written and requested by a 16 year old!(and so much more!!!) After he proposed, I gave him my list/prayer for him to read on the plane ride home, which was followed by another letter, telling him how thankful I was for him. I love him!!!!

I know I speak for both of us when I say that we are truly blessed to have one another, and are blessed for every day we get to spend together!

St. Lucia!!!

The first week of June, Bryan & I, and our best friends, Brian & Holly, made a trip to the Sandals Resort in St. Lucia. We decided to celebrate our Anniversaries together, this summer was their 10th, and this Saturday, will be our 5th! Time flies! It really was an amazing island, very beautiful, and very, very relaxing. (However, this was the first week of my "morning sickness" so that was somewhat of a bummer)Here's some pics from our trip. Enjoy!

Brian & Holly
Bryan & I

Some entertainment. These guys were really great!

Music anyone???

We hiked to the top of the "mountain" that is in this picture!

Atop the "mountain"! The buildings with the red roofs in the background is our resort.

Another view from up top. It was a cloudy day, so the water isn't as bright, but it really was beautiful!

This was the mountain on the opposite side. This is the picture of the above mountain we were just on. Brian & Bryan hiked this one, it was a little too steep for Holly & I!

You have to enlarge this pic,, but this is Holly & I waiting underneath a tree while the guys made their hike.

Dance moves by Holly!

Cool pirate ship

View from the lobby. Beautiful!

We really did have a great time! I would recommend St. Lucia to anyone!

Stay tuned for more posts!

Belly Watch

Pregnant at last!!! After patiently, and sometimes not so patiently, waiting for a positive answer, it has finally happened! We found out Sunday, Memorial weekend that we are pregnant!!!
Fun fact: Bryan proposed 5 years earlier on the exact same day:-)
This is the first test we took, we actually took 4 tests... just to be sure! I'm sure some of you find that hilarious!

Tomorrow I will be 14 weeks, and heading into the 2nd trimester! I have a slight "bump", enough of one that I am getting a little uncomfortable in my jeans :-)

This is not the best picture ever, but I am too anxious to wait for Bryan to get home to take the picture!
We just wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for this time to come in our lives! It hasn't always been easy wondering when our turn would come, or why it seemed like it might not ever happen. But, as most of you know, God has His own time, and His own plan for us, even if we are unaware of it!
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mothers womb."
Psalm 139:13
" And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord...."
I Samuel 2:1

Welcome!!!

Welcome to our crazy life! We hope this will be a fun page for all of our family and friends to try and keep connected. So kick back, read, and enjoy:-)
