Family Day at Cades Cove

We enjoyed a family day at Cades Cove to soak in the wonderful fall weather. It was also Lexi’s first time! Picnic, cornhole, frisby and family time made for an awesome day!

Celebrating our Anniversary

This year for our anniversary we kept it low key and went to dinner and a movie (thanks Cici and Harrison for babysitting!) It was great to have alone time though, as usual!

I had JR a leather cuff made as his present. Success.. he loves it!

On our actual anniversary I decided to have a “fancy family dinner!.” They boys had never seen a table cloth nor candles lit at a table. “Mom, what is all of THIS?”

Yes they came to dinner in their undies… and yes I let them eat off of china!

We loved having this addition on our anniversary this year. She was a great centerpiece!

7 years later… anniversary dinners look a little different. But I am a-okay with that as long as I am sharing them with this guy!

7 year anniversary and 15 years together!

Celebrating 7 years of marriage, 15 total years of being together (minus a few months) and now 3 kiddos. I would have NEVER imagined had you told me back in 1998 when I was just 15 years old that we would have such a story to tell of God’s faithfulness. Every one of these pictures is a special memory in the story of us and I am so thankful of all the times I took a moment to take a snapshot of each moment. It hasn’t been easy, it has been no where near perfect, but through everything I can say I love this man more than I could have ever imagined! Now to see our love spill over into our family of five, I couldn’t be more thankful. We are truly blessed and I pray that through our story we can continue to make God famous, continually thanking Him for how He loves us. It is only through knowing His love that we share the love we have with each other…. He is so good! So so good!

Happy anniversary my love!
