10 Years!!

Happy 10th Anniversary Andrew!


We have gone through a lot in the past ten years; Changing jobs, buying a house, bringing home two dogs, lots of travel for work, lots of travel for fun. We have been on three cruises, to Mexico once, to Hilton Head and Vero Beach, to Disney World more times than I can count and now a wonderful week in Hawaii! We have also had some tough times; years of infertility, loss of a job and the end of a career we were so sure was perfect. But God brought us through and we were able to experience the miracle of adoption and bring home our beautiful son! And God provided a great job after heart break. So thankful that we serve a faithful God and that we serve him together! God continues to bless our marriage and I am so thankful that God chose you for me! I love you and I am so proud to be your wife. Happy Anniversary Babe!

SHOW US YOUR LIFE - Wedding Reception & Honeymoon

Today on Kelly's Korner is Show us your life - Wedding Reception & Honeymoon!
Andrew and I had our reception at Furman University in the room that overlooks the rose garden. We got married in May, so the roses were in full bloom.
Here we are in the rose garden, waiting to go up the reception. We had a dinner buffet and it was so yummy. My Mom made my wedding cake, and it was absolutely beautiful.
(The only thing about where we had our reception was that we couldn't have dancing. I would have loved to have dancing, but it wasn't that big of a deal to us. The tables were decorated with a simple vase with a Gerber Daisy, a rose, and some filler. We did all the flowers ourselves, which is a huge cost saving idea. My sister did all the flowers for her wedding, so we had some experience. As wedding favors, we gave out clear boxes full of purple/white or pink/white M&M's. So we had a box sitting at each place setting on the tables.
For our Honeymoon, we went on a Royal Caribbean Cruise to the Bahamas.
Talk about excited...

Our honeymoon was wonderful. The food was so great, and the service was unlike anything I have ever experienced. That is where I fell in love with Cruising, and have been on 2 more cruises since.

SHOW US YOUR LIFE - Wedding Dress


Kelly at Kelly's Korner, is hosting a "Show us your Life - Wedding Dresses" Blog Carnival today, so I thought I would join in. I found my dress at a local bridal store but was a little higher priced than I would have liked to pay for it. So, as I was talking to the store owner, she mentioned that if I had been there that weekend, everything was 1/2 off! I couldn't believe I missed such a great sale. I asked if there was anyway that I could get the sale price, and she refused. She was only willing to take 10% off! I was so mad! So, I wrote down the style number and designer of the dress and did what any bargain hunter would do, I looked on eBay! And I found my dress for 1/2 of the retail price! It was the right color and size! I couldn't believe it. So I bought it, and just as the lady was getting ready to ship it to me, she noticed that is was a size smaller than what she had said it was! She asked if I still wanted it, and I just couldn't have the added stress of losing a whole size before the wedding, so I told her I would keep looking. She refunded our money, and I started looking again at different places. I ended up calling a Bridal Warehouse in North Carolina, and they had my dress! The right size and color and for 1/2 the price! I was so excited that I finally found my dress. I think I tried it on once a week, every week, for 6 months leading up till the wedding. It was perfect!
We got married on the top of Glassy Mountain, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in May.


Here is the back of the dress. My mom did my bustle herself, and that was the only alteration I needed on my dress.


And just cause I love this picture, I thought I would include it.


Thanks for taking this walk down memory lane with me. Andrew and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this past May, and what a wonderful 5 years it has been!
