4 Years and Counting.

Happy Anniversary, honey! It seems almost impossible that we have already been married a whole 4 years - it really does seem like yesterday we were getting married(and decorating the entire fairgrounds building) and on our honeymoon in Jamaica! It has been a wonderful 4 years with you! I love you more each and every day and I absoutely can't wait to see what the next 4 year brings us! Thank you for being the BEST husband, father, and best friend. I am soooooo lucky to have you! I LOVE YOU!

Here's a jog down memory lane.........


Prom night - May 1995 - I was a sophomore and Sam was a junior..........


June 2003 - The weekend we first saw each other (it had been yearrrrssss) after Sam had been overseas with the Navy for 10 months or so. Me, Suz, and Samantha went to the Little Rock airport to pick him up......and when I saw him, I fell head over heels in love with him. Well....I guess I had already fallen for him.....we had been writing letters and talking on the phone while he was overseas for those 10 months.


August 2003 - On a vist to see Sam, we headed to DC for the weekend....and did some sight seeing! We also took the train to Baltimore to catch an Orioles game!


Moving me to Virgina. Sam flew down to LR to drive us to Virgina. The start of our lives together.


November 2003 - Thanksgiving weekend - We took a weekend trip to New York....we went to the Macy's Day parade, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, and shopping in China town. Oh, and Sam took me for a carriage ride around Central Park where he ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM! Definitely one of the BEST weekends of my life. I of course said YES!


Newly engaged - in front of the Statue of Liberty in NYC - unfortunately you can't see the Statue of Liberty!


April 2004 - Our engagement pictures - taken in Virgina Beach, VA


JUST MARRIED!!!!!! Oh, the work that went into our beautiful wedding! We were so ready for that relaxing honeymoon! Another one of the most wonderful weekends of my life!


October 2004 - Honeymoning in Jamaica!


Back in Fayetteville and cheering on the Hogs! One of our favorite things to do together.


Together at Shawn's 30th birthday party in Mtn. Home. It was 70's themed...hence, Sam's outfit.


Christmas 2006 - at our annual Christmas party w/ friends.


At my ten-year high school reunion.


Trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl! I had just recently learned I was pregnant!
