7 years ago...

March 24, 2001...
It's hard to believe that 7 years have passed since Todd and I said "I Do"! Time really does fly by when you're having fun!!! Forgive me for sounding a little "cheesy" but 7 years ago I married the most amazing man! Todd is truly a gift from God to me. He is patient and understanding when I am not. He is practical when I seem to be living in a "dream world". He is laid back when I am stressed out. When I am down, he lifts me up! He truly balances me out on all levels!

Who would have thought 7 years ago that today we would have three amazing boys to share our lives with? Todd is such a wonderful father! I love to see him with our boys. He is the bath giver, baseball coach, wrestle buddy, and so much more. The boys and I really feel at a loss when he is out of town!

For those of you who do not know the story, Todd and I met at a Fraternity/Sorority social in college. We were at a local restaurant/bar called Spyro Gyro in Carrollton. I wasn't even going to go to the social but my roommate, who also happens to be my cousin, Holly, talked me into going. Boy was I glad that I went! Todd was the first boy that I ever gave my phone number to that I really didn't know well. He called me a few days later and then we met up again at another local restaurant/bar called The Mansion the following Thursday. That is where I asked him out-yes, I asked him out on our first date. Our first date was on March 14, 1997. We had dinner at Spyro Gyro (there weren't a lot of restaurants in Carrollton at that time) and then went to see Vegas Vacation at the movies. The rest, as they say, is history. When he proposed, Todd once again took me to Spyro Gyro for dinner. When we got back into his truck after eating, he popped the question. That was on March 22, 2000. We got married 1 year and 2 days later on March 24, 2001. It was such a special day-definitely a fairy tale come true!

Todd-Happy Anniversary, baby! It has been 7 of the best years of my life! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us!
