9 years!


I have a date tonight with one good-looking man and I am super excited! Steve and I are celebrating our 9th anniversary today! He is my very best friend, and I can honestly say that he makes me laugh every day! Tears, too, sometimes, but laughter every day! I think laughter is important in a marriage. Yes, marriage can be tough, but it can also be one of the biggest blessings ever! I am so thankful that God brought the two of us together.

We met in January of 1997 when I was working part-time at a golf shop in Auburn while in graduate school. I will never forget that they called me in on my day off to train the "new golf pro." As I was vacuuming the shop at the end of the day, he said, "You are going to make someone a good wife one day!"

He told this story at our rehearsal dinner and then added, "And I haven't seen her vacuum since!" Ahh...the laughter! Just one of the very many things I love about him. Here's to many, many, many more happy years together!
