18 years!

I can't believe 18 years have pasted SO quickly. I feels just like yesterday I was standing there in my grandparents church, in the dress my grandma made, getting married by the man who helped organize "Turkey Fest" ( the event where Matt and I met ) surrounded by all our friends and family.

Looking back on this journey Matt and I have been on....we have moved 10 times, had 2 beautiful girls, cared for my mom til her death, bought a trailer and took many fun camping trips, spent 10 months with Matt gone for 3+ weeks home for 4 days while he was in New Orleans, went back to work part time, then moved to another country. There are so many more adventures we have been on and many more to come.

I am so thankful to have met Matt and have him as my best friend. 23 years ago November we met at an all night church event the day after Thanksgiving. I still wonder why my parents allowed me to date a guy who was 3 years older than me and out of high school. But I am SO thankful they did. Matt has been the best thing, after Christ, that has ever happened to me.

I love you Matt with all my heart! Thank you for choosing me as your wife!

I am excited and ready to see what the next 18 years will hold for us!
