I thought it would be fun to share my ten favorite pictures of just the two of us.
August 2006
This was Mark's first trip home to Evansville to meet my family.
I had already called to tell them I had met who I was going to marry
and I think they figured they should probably meet him.
Bowling at River City Rec.
September 2006
Our first weekend together at Franklin College.
I drove up north to meet his whole family.
We thought we'd just enjoy some time in Franklin while he was in school there,
never did we imagine we'd move back years later to raise our family.
March 2009
For Mark's last college Spring Break, we went out to South Dakota
to visit Matt and Jenn. They were newlyweds and we were just a few months away from marriage.
It was the only trip the four of us had before the kids all came.
We were two of four people at Mt. Rushmore the morning after a March blizzard.
May 23, 2009
Our wedding day.
Old North Chapel.
May 2009
We honeymooned in Maderia Beach, FL thanks to our friends the Steinmetzs and their
generous wedding gift of their condo for a week. Once I realized we were near a
place called Honeymoon Island, knew we needed to go!
June 2009
This was the night we moved into our first apartment.
It was a huge apartment with low rent in a terrible area.
We lived on Ramen Noodles, no heat, and paid down debt at a frantic pace.
February 14, 2010
Taken the week we moved into our first house.
Mark had decorated the living room for my birthday.
It was such a wonderful feeling to be homeowners!
January 27, 2011
The morning our dream came true - we were expecting!
December 2011
This was our first date out after Annabeth's arrival.
It was also the evening of the scariest working day of our lives.
Mark had been injured that day, we didn't quite realize how seriously at the time,
so we headed out to JCSO's Christmas Party after leaving the hospital.
We are thankful for God's healing hand that day and every day since.
For Father's Day that year we surprised Mark with tickets to see
the Robertson Family from Duck Dynasty speak about faith and love.
It was such an encouraging evening to share worship and fellowship with so
many believers.
Over the years, we have lived and laughed and loved and cried and hurt and grown. We have worked daily, sometimes hourly, to fight for our marriage. We have resisted temptations, ignored outside influences, and loved more than we ever knew possible.

We took this picture a few weeks ago on a sunny walk when I thought "I am so blessed."
