SCRAPBOOK

This is our love story scrapbook. I had a great time revisiting the events of an exciting year in time. 

Stamps, stickers, photos, fancy paper, and hours of meticulous arranging...

It all started when we met at the COTH fire small group in the Spring of 2009. I saw him across the fire and I just knew.

And then one year later....

We went on our first date to Cocina Superior. Then hiking at Oak Mountain the next day.

Later that month we took some separate adventures. J to Alaska. Me to Haiti.

I went to Lafayette with him to meet his family for Easter. And he met mine at the Air Show in Montgomery.

But then he got deployed. And we were separated.

That was hard, but we trusted God, and He brought us even closer during that time.

120 days later... he came home.

We embarked on a whirlwind tour to visit friends and family together. Such wonderful memories.

Visited with family in Ohio and camping at Fall Creek Falls in Tennessee.

And on November 5th we were engaged. 

December 7th we got married at the courthouse and planned our wedding celebration in only 7 weeks (with ALOT of help).

Wonderful friends threw some last minute showers.

Then January 8th. We got married surrounded by the people we love.

What a wonderful day.

And the next day... we pulled away from my parents house with our truck packed, towing the car with "just married" across the back and we made our way to our temporary home in Del Rio. 

What a Journey.

Thankful to be on it with my best friend and the loving support of family and friends.

Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you dont. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless-like chasing the wind.
