4 Years

Today, Dave and I celebrate 4 years of marriage! These years have been the happiest of my life, and I can truly say that I love my husband now more than ever. The Lord has been immeasurably kind to give me Dave as my husband. I don't deserve him.

Sadly (and ridiculously), we don't have any electronic copies of our wedding pictures (it's not like we got married in the early 90s...just didn't pick the most up-to-date photographer), so I can't post one here. Instead, I've posted a chronological picture timeline of us throughout our marriage. Do we look any older than we did 4 years ago?

First Christmas, 2005.

Summer trip to Florida, 2006.

Fall 2006 trip to Callaway Gardens. This is the chapel where we got engaged in November 2004.

Summer visit to my parent's house, 2007.

Trip to Chicago for Dave's 25th birthday, April 2008.

First visit to Houston, TX, summer 2008.

Maternity pictures taken in March 2009, right before Shepherd was born.

Happy Anniversary, Babe! I hope for many more years and many more family pictures with you!

Sweet Smiles

Shepherd has been smiling for about 2 weeks now. Here are the pictures to prove it:


I never thought a smile could melt my heart quite like his does. I mean, seriously. Look at that sweet face. Hopefully, there will be lots more smiles to come!
