5 Years

Five years ago today, I married my best friend. Wow, that's hard to believe!

Craig is an amazing husband, and my life would not be the same without him. He is always willing to help around the house and finds jobs to do without being asked. He follows the example Christ set of a humble servant. What a blessing to be able to share every day with him! Happy Anniversary Craig!! I love you more and more each day!!

My wonderful friends who stood by my side
Rebekah, Codi, Bethany, Emily, Melissa, Betsy, Elizabeth, and Mary Brook

First Anniversary: Islamorada
We spent a few days (including our anniversary) in the Keys with Craig's family.

Second Anniversary: Florence
We were in Florence still celebrating the holidays with my family.

Third Anniversary: Gatlinburg
We went to Gatlinburg with Craig's family to celebrate New Year's.

Fourth Anniversary: Florence
We were in Florence celebrating the holidays with my family.

Happy Birthday...

Mom!!

Well, it seems lately I don't have anything to write about except for birthdays. As promised before, I will update on other events soon. (If anyone out there is still reading.) Oh well, now for today's special person.

Today is my mom's birthday. She is one amazing woman, and I'm so thankful to have her as my mom and my friend. She is constantly putting others first and making sacrifices for the ones she loves. She is always there and is willing to drop everything when I need her. What a blessing to have her in my life!! I love you Mom and hope you have a wonderful day!!

Happy Birthday Sissy!!

I know I am behind on my blogging. November passed without one entry. We enjoyed a wonderful 5 year anniversary trip to Asheville as well as fun time with the families over Thanksgiving. I will blog about those events on another day.
