2001-2011


Brad and I recently celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, although we have been dating since November of 1992, but who's keeping track:) While I could sit here and fill this post with how much I love my husband and am so blessed to be married to my best friend, and that one of the reasons we work so well together is we grow closer in times of stress, times that would cause most other couples to become divided. While all those things are true I decided to fill in our past 10 years. Since getting married on July 14th, 2001 what have we been doing? We have:


  • Moved twice

  • Owned 2 homes

  • Witnessed other friends and families get married. Even participated in some.

  • Grieved in the loss of loved ones.

  • Became Aunt and Uncle to 3 nephews, in addition to our niece. A Godmother to one Godson.

  • Became the blessed parents of two sweet girls.

  • Watched our children experience many firsts including Preschool and even Kindergarten for the oldest.

  • Had 2 trips to the ER, 1 for each girl.

  • Had the first broken bone of one of our children...Ainsley.

  • Watched siblings graduate schools.

  • Traveled to various places including the Bahamas and Florida.

  • Welcomed 2 dogs into our family:)

  • Have had 5 different cars, including the ones we have now.

  • Participated in 3 St. Jude Bloomington-Peoria runs.

  • Accomplished numerous home improvement projects.

  • Got our passports.

  • Had an occasional disagreement:)

  • Lots of laughs

  • Booked a trip to Mexico

There's many other moments, good and bad, we have shared together, I'm sure there are some that I'm completely overlooking. I look forward to our next 10 years and filling in the next dash. The trip to Mexico this September is going to be a great way to start filling it in:)!
