11 years! How in the world can we be coming up on our 11 year anniversary? That means we have been together for over a decade… WOW! We’ve shared so many adventures together, from Marine Corps stateside to deployments, from one little girl to 2. We have seen and done so much in those 11 years that thinking back to that summer that we met just blows my mind. God knew where we would be now, but I can honestly say I didn’t have a clue! Who knew that one humid day in early June of 2005, I would meet the guy I was destined to marry. Well, God did.

Back in the summer of 2005, I had just graduate from high school. I was working part time at a local preschool, teaching Pre-K and part time at the local ball park for concession stand and gate. Oh and, for some weird reason, I thought it would be a good idea to join a co-ed softball team. Actually I was bribed into playing by one of my best friends. She said it would be good exercise for us and fun too! It was anything but fun. We were the youngest players on the team and they took the games way too seriously. We had just finished our regular season of softball, plus playoffs. We didn’t want to take anything seriously. Needless to say, we made it through about 1/2 the season then quit. It wasn’t for us.
