Eleven Years Ago Today....

Eleven years ago today....
* I woke up with butterflys in my tummy anxiously awaiting one of the best days of my life

Eleven years ago today.....
*I was getting ready in a little room in the basement of our church. My mom and my bridesmaids were helping me make sure everything was just right.

Eleven years ago today....
*I took my daddy's hand and he we walked me down the aisle and placed my hand in yours and kissed me as he turned towards his seat.

Eleven years ago today....
*I looked into your eyes and we exchanged our vows in front of God and all of our friends and family. I knew without a doubt that God gave me you, my soulmate, to walk through this life together.

Eleven years ago today.....
*We had the best reception that I have ever been too (ok maybe I am a little biased). We sang and danced into the night with all of our friends and family. They cheered us on as we sang "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf. Oh how we laughed when the DJ said "They don't mean it! They don't mean it" when we got to the part about praying for the end of time......so I can end my time with you. We were always a little crazy...weren't we? I think we still are.

Eleven years ago today....
*I was scared of venturing into the roll of wife. Not knowing what it really meant and if I could really live up to everyone's expectations. Who am I kidding? I still feel that way sometimes....lol.

Through these eleven years loved ones have passed on, little ones have grown up and are having children of their own. We have lost but we have continued to love each other. We have laughed, we have cried and we have gotten the chance to see a lot of places I never thought we would see. Through it all....God is good and God is faithful.

Eleven years later, here and now, you have been my knight in shining armor, you have stood beside me and held me...you have reminded me that God has our back. You have been the kind of husband a little girl dreams about and the kind of husband that a little girls daddy prays about for his daughter. You are no doubt...an answer to prayers.

I thank God everyday for you....I can't wait to see where our next 11 years take us!

Love you always,
