Our 6th Anniversary

I seriously can't believe that today 6 years ago right around this time (3pm) we were getting married! It feels like we've been married a long time...probably because we've known each other a long time. :) In case you didn't know we met in 7th grade and became great friends. All through high school and college we loved spending time together. Little did we know that God was planning for us to spend the rest of our lives together! We started dating right after we graduated college in 2003, he proposed to me at a Youth Specialties conference in Charlotte in late October of the same year, and then we got married the very next March! Some people said we'd never get it all together by then. We didn't care. We just wanted to be married. And it did come together and we had a beautiful wedding with our family and friends.

Brian is the most perfect person for me. Not only did he meet my preliminary "list" of traits a guy was supposed to have that I probably created when I was 13: He's funny, plays the guitar, is a follower of Jesus, and loves people, but he also exceeds my "list" in so many ways. He is the most forgiving person I have met. He loves so unconditionally. He makes me laugh so much and brings joy to my day. He even does crazy things for me that I totally don't deserve! He lets me use a heating blanket (on my side) and turns the ceiling fan off even though he's practically sweating! He is taking me to eat Thai food for dinner even though he has had a couple bad experiences at Thai restaurants. He always does the dishes because he knows that I hate doing them. He NEVER complains when I leave my shoes scattered in the floor. He listens to Spanish music and tries REALLY hard to understand and learn when I speak in Spanish to him. Oh my, I really could go on but I'd rather go spend time with him. :)
