My Love

It started 9 years ago, the beginning of a college class, aptly named Marriage and Courtship.  It was the 2nd night of class, and there was a boy in my seat.  Who would have ever thought that he was to be my husband? 

Through the entire semester, we became friends and a love was growing that I didn't know was there.  Our first date was October 31st, and there began a whirlwind of a courtship.  We fell hard and we fell fast, it was totally meant to be.  I had found my best friend and the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. 

On a Spring day in March, I knew he was up to something.  He took me to "our bench" and there he got down on one knee and proposed. 

October 14, 2000 we became husband and wife and as they say the rest is history.  We have had our share of ups and downs and I can honestly say the only reason we have survived is because of Christ in our marriage.  And the fact that the "D" word is not in our vocabulary.  We are together, FOREVER!!!

The last 9 years have brought us three beautiful girls and tons of memories.  We have both grown and learned knew things that have molded us into who we are today.  We are still in love and committed to making our marriage work.

So to you, my love, my best friend, thank you for giving me the best 9 years out of my life.  (I know that we will have another 50+ years.)  Thank you for the husband and father you have become.  I couldn't imagine life any different.  I love you!!!
