Happy Anniversary to Us!...Belated of course....

I have meant to do this post for almost a month now...but I guess late is better than never. Side note: Not having internet at home makes updating my blogs a little more challenging, so that is why updates are generally so spread out.

On July 14th Brad and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. However we have been dating since 1992, I feel it's important to note that because in reality we have been together for 1/2 of our lives. Who knew way back then that this is how it would go. Well someone of a much higher power knew, and when we took a small break in the late summer of 1995, I had faith that what was meant to be would be, and so it was. I feel very fortunate to have been able to marry my best friend and to have been able to share SO much of my life with him. We have a lot of mutual friends, and have really been there to share in many life changing events, aside from marriage and children. I continue to look forward to all that will come, the ups and the downs, it's been a fun ride so far! We have been very blessed and I am so thankful for that.

I was going to post some photos from a REALLY long time ago, however I can't seem to locate the box that those would be in, honestly I haven't had a lot of time to look. So instead I opted for some wedding photos.

This is a photo from when Brad and I got engaged. We were in Galena. Brad had took me to a Bed and Breakfast after I graduated college. He didn't tell me where we were going. We were engaged on May 17th, 2000. Five years after this day Kaylee was born. The sad thing is I didn't realize that until after Kaylee was born. Brad's mom had gotten us glasses that were engraved with our engagement date, shortly after Kaylee was born something made me think to look at those glasses, I did and that's how I figured it out. It was also the same day as Monica and Chandler were engaged on Friends. After dinner we went back to the cottage, which is when we got engaged, and Brad's mom had sent champagne and the glasses. So we drank it and watched Friends.

Here is a photo of our Wedding Party. We were married at the Evelyn Chapel, on Wesleyan's campus. I love that Chapel because it reminds me of something you would find out in the country. It's so funny to look at these now. Our ring bearer and flower girl were so little then, they were 3 and 3 1/2 at the time. One of the girls who handed out our Programs, Sydney, will be Sophomore this year! Which is how old one of my brother's was at the time we got married! It's amazing how fast time goes and how things change.

Lastly a photo of Brad and I, in the limo, on the way to the reception. It was such a fun day!!
