Happy Birthday, Honey!


26 years ago today
You were born in the month of May.
Your folks got a double blessing,
Elated and anxious to be holding twins, I'm guessing.

Your childhood had its rough patches,
And yet you've grown into a man with no matches.
I'm thankful for all you are, and all you do.
Honey, I love every side of you.

Our days together are just beginning
And when I think about that, I can't stop grinning!
No telling what the future will hold
Though I know it will be as precious as gold!

Baby, you make me so proud
I could shout it out loud!!
Whatever we may weather together,
I'll love you always and forever.

Happy Birthday!

    How sweet. Love the picture. So you're married to a twin? Are they identical?

    Sharron--No, they're not identical...his twin's a girl! She still lives in Tennessee and just graduated with a Master's in Education (I think).

Oh, how time flies!

It's been a year, y'all. A year since I married the love of my life, the funniest man on earth, the sweetest husband around, and the only leader I will follow unconditionally. Nathan and I have said several times over the course of this first year together that it has been so easy and FUN!! Everyone said there would be an adjustment period where we would be getting used to each other's habits, but, we're still waiting for that to happen! Maybe we are super easy-going because it seems as though we've blended our lives seamlessly. Of course, there's been a few little "I do it this way..." moments, but no big blow-ups and such. When I look at my husband, I am constantly reminded of how HUGELY God blessed me with this man. I am absolutely, 100% positive that there is no other man more perfect for me than Nathan. Our love story is too full of God's hand and we are just so much alike. Even our differences complement one another. For instance, I abhor doi...

Hello? It's me again!

Hello all! Apparently I decided to take a 2 1/2 month blog break. I know, you wish I would've warned you. But, the thing is, it just sorta happened on the fly. I got busy, was too lazy to post, and my sister moved away (that's a whole other post). And to top it all off, my computer decided to succumb to one or several of the viruses floating around WebLand. So, when I was ready to post two weeks ago...ha! no internet connection! So there. Those pesky little 1's and 0's showed me! I just thought I was gonna get back into the swing of blogging. Anyway, my computer has been revived (thank you, Lord) and I am anxious to show you what I've been up to this summer. Yes, I have a few PICTURES! Yay! Actually, this post is going to be rife with pics since I'm so behind. They may or may not be in chronological order, though. It depends on how cooperative Blogger is today. *wink* Many of you know that my sister and I like to make stuff and since she now lives thousands of...

2 Years of the best Blessing ever!

On this day 2 years ago, I married the sweetest cutie pie ever. Around this time, my bridesmaids and I were in an upstairs room of the church getting dressed and putting finishing touches on our makeup. I can't believe it's already been 2 years!! It's absolutely flown by! In honor of this momentous day in mine and my hubby's life, I thought I'd post some favorite shots from our special day. I hope you enjoy! Me & my bridesmaids eating at Strawn's before going to the salon for hair & makeup. All of us are sans makeup! Hair in progress and seeing my bouquet for the first time! Daddy & his brother, Greg, in the background Hair and makeup is done! Now on to the church! Me and my sis with our Dad Me with Mama My goofy bridesmaids (Katherine does not have to go to the bathroom--she was  just showing off her pregnant belly!) the stage setting walking down the aisle I love this shot! Our ring-bearer :) saying our vows havin...
