8 years ago today...This wonderfully goofy man asked me to be his wife!! What a lucky girl I am. The picture above speaks volumes. We are never bored. We have adventures that are usually messy and loads of fun!! WOW!!! What a long way we have come in eight years. I am sure you all look back and think of how naive you were about one another when you got together. It is a good thing huh? I don't know if Mark would have ever asked me to be his forever if he knew the REAL me...but I guess that can go both ways huh?

But we are so much better people having grown together through some of the best and worst times of our lives. The last eight years...

One MAJOR family drama (and several little ones)
One wedding
One cross country move (for me)
One NASTY apartment that was wonderful because is was OURS!!
A few jobs
A few cars/trucks
Three travel trailers (we still have one)
Four 4-wheelers (we still have 2)
One house bought and sold
One house built and for sale
Finding out that having babies was not something we could do ourselves
Finding faith to follow the Lords Plan
Tyce finding us through his AMAZING birth parents
Being parents now for nearly 2 years (the best and hardest years of our lives)

And above all else...

Working through it all together!!

Yes, I am a lucky woman and I have never regretted for one minute that I said YES! I love you Mark...more than anything on this earth. Thank you for making me happy...for making my dreams come true. You are my best friend and the best father I could have ever asked for for our son. Here is to MANY more years as your wife! May our life together be long...and if not...we have ETERNITY!!
