5 years and counting...

Can't believe that 5 years ago I was getting to do this:
Seems like just yesterday. I'd do it all again, and I'd do it all the same. Same friendship, courtship, holding zone-ship, falling in love long distance-ship. I've known my husband of 5 years through a 9.5 year journey, and I would not trade my best friend in the world for anything in the world...

Our journey has been an adventure with peaks and valleys, ebbs and flows, and lots and lots of love. I am thankful to partner with a servant-leader, and man of character and integrity, and a sweet sweet Daddy.

As we anticipate welcoming a new child into our family in less than 2 weeks, we celebrate all that the Lord has taught us and all of the blessings He has bestowed on us. Can't wait to see what the next 5 years hold...

Here is a picture of us from the early days. I think this was during my last semester at Auburn, Fall 2002 when we went to ATL to celebrate Cortney's birthday...
I think we might have been in the courtship phase at this point... or maybe still the holding zone phase... but we were DEFINITELY in the kissing phase at this point! :) And, boy, was that kissing phase a fun one.

We have a special date planned for tomorrow night, so I'll post an updated NOW picture afterwards. :)
