8 Years and Counting!!!

March 22, 2003 Craig and I were 'sentenced to LIFE'  in a Del Rio, TX court room. 8 years and two children later, we are in love, healthy and thriving....

 (Please note the terrible res, sorry, PAS was all we had in those days!)

Our beautiful cake! Sure would like to have a piece right about NOW!!!

And on February 21, 2004 we had our larger more traditional wedding. Which one do we celebrate, you ask?

Well, we sorta just combine them and either celebrate in Feb. or March, which ever one is more convenient for us that year.

 

 

 

  A few things maybe you'd like to know about us:


We met in Del Rio, TX in 2002 where he was in pilot training and I was a Lifeguard.

Made the Border Eagle... YESSSS!!!!

Catching a quick break while teaching Lifeguard Cert classes!!

 Why this is OUR song?

Because after every one of our dates, as Craig was taking me home, this song would play religiously at the same time and at the time it was my favorite song and I knew it was the perfect song for us!! It still gives me chills listening to it today!!

He is From Georgia and a graduate of the University Of Georgia. Go DAWGS!!!

Picture taken with UGA VI? and terrible res again, due to PAS!!!

By practice field!!

We (I because of Craig) are addicted to UGA football!!!

Lets play "Where's Pollock" #47?? Can you spot him?? I can!!

 

Two happy loves birds!! GO DAWGS!!

He is in the Air Force and he is a Pilot!! I love my PILOT!!

The day he got his WINGS.

Oh yeah, that's him flying the tanker!!

I am a TEXAS girl!!

You can take the Girl outta Texas but you can't take the Texas outta the Girl!

My passion is Photography!!!

I have a thriving photography business now and LOVE every minute of it!!! www.mytlcphotography.com

Manda also designed my logo for me. Her graphic design work is Ah-Ma-ZING!!!

 In 2006 we were BLESSED with our first child Taylor Brynn. She has been a delight in our life and is one of the most loving, compassionate little beings I have ever known. (no.. not biased or anything)

 Then in 2007, (17 mos later) God Blessed us with our Landon Lane. He is our "curiosity kills a cat" kid which drives us bonkers, but I like to think it's just because he's highly intelligent.

They both have changed our lives tremendously and though we have some interesting and trying times, I wouldn't change it for the world!!!

 

 

 It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the movie theater watching "Insomnia" on our first date! 8 years later, and am truly a lucky girl. I am looking forward to many more wonderful years for Craig and I and for our family!!

 

 If there's one thing that you could take away from this blog about the life we've created in our 8 years of marriage is:
