I am stealing this idea from my friend, Sarah's blog. I thought it would be neat to make a list of the things that have happened/changed since 1999. WOW! I don't even know where to start, so here goes...
*Brad and I met in 1999 and started dating in April of that year.
*We both finished college by 2003 (me in 2002) and got married the same year.
*We bought and sold our first house, second (semi-dream) home, and the third house is still alive :) .
*We have both finished dental school, grad school, and law school, separately of course.
*Traveled to some really fun places including Disney (a few times including honeymoon), Seattle, Vancouver (2 times), Mexico, Washington, D.C., and the mountains and beach!
*We got Prissy and then let her have puppies and kept one, Lulu.
* We both turned 21, and Brad has also turned 30!
*We started our grown-up careers
* Changed our lives completely by having our beautiful baby girl, Ryleigh Jane. Who knew you could ever love another human being that much?
*Gained 2 nieces and watched my other 2 nieces and 1 nephew grow up way too fast right before my eyes
*Lost the only grandfather and great-grandmother I ever knew
*Made some life long friends that we love dearlyThere are many things in this world and in my life that have changed, but the few things that haven't are these...
*I love Brad more and more each day, and I can't wait to see him everyday when he gets home from work. Ryleigh Jane has also joined in on that feeling now.
*I love both sides of my family more than anything and value them dearly.
*I am very blessed to have all that I have, and God keeps blessing me despite my not living like I should
*My friends are very near and dear to my heart, and I have a lot of really good ones!
*Everything changes everyday.
Here are a few pics to show you how far we have come and how much we have aged (Whoa! SCARY)-
Here's to another decade of change, prosperity, and Love! May you all have a blessed year and decade. Thanks for being a special part of our lives. We love you!
That made me tear up! So fortunate to have you as a part of my family. Cannot wait to see what these little girls have in store for us. I love yall! PS - Yes, I am a blogging machine, thanks for noticing! Don't know what got into me. What in the world did I blog about before Josie got here??
