7 Years Ago Today!!!

7 years ago today, Pete and I got married! We've actually known eachother much longer (11 1/2 years) and I've been going through pictures today. I came across a lot of memories during Cohen's naptime today! Kent is quite dismayed at the fact that there are memories of mommy and daddy without Kent. He keeps saying that he doesn't like any of these pictures because he is not in them! Well, I warn you now that this post is lengthy and it will not contain any pictures of the boys! ;) Happy anniversary Pete!

Pete and I met my senior year in high school at a friend's house. Our first scheduled date was my senior formal. We actually went out a couple times before that and by the time senior formal (Valentine's Day) came around, we were officially a couple. Here we are in thinner and younger days.

Later that year, during the summer of 1998, we both went to the Cornerstone music festival with a bunch of friends from Noonday.

This is at UGA's Baptist Student Union's annual Christmas Dance my sophmore year. My hair is getting shorter and shorter and Pete's is getting blonder and blonder!

Here we are again at Cornerstone in 2001. I know it's 2001 because we got separated one night- there were only about 10,000 people there!! Anyway, Pete drew a cartoon drawing of me with an arrow pointing to my blond hair and a very large ring on my finger, so we must have been engaged. And yes, if you can spot it, Pete does have black nail polish on!

Later that summer, we were in Illinois at my cousin Abby's wedding. In 2001 boy bands were big and all the younger girls would ask Pete for his autograph. They thought he was Lance Bass from N'Sync!!! Seriously, this happened at least four times that I can remember!

In the fall of the same year, we took our engagement photos. Looks like we were both back to more natural hair styles!

Here we are dancing at our wedding! Pete is always making me laugh!

Very happy on our honeymoon at Universal Studios. It was our compromise- I wanted the beach and Pete wanted lots of entertainment, beaches were boring to him then. Neither of us had been there before and we had a great time.

One of the last pre kids photo I could find of the two of us. I think we were at Six Flags.

Sadly, the last time we went to the beach in September of 2007. This is our favorite beach to go to, Gulf Shores!!!

Mom and Dad kept the boys for us Saturday night and we went out for our anniversary. I managed to remember to get a photo taken of the two of us. Pete, no one makes me laugh as much as you and I thank you for loving me even though the clothes you want to wear are never clean and dinner is never ready when you want to eat! I Love You!!!
