The Happy Couple




WOW, EIGHT years ago today Michael and I were married. What an amazing day that was. Everything went perfectly. My Uncle Don performed a beautiful ceremony and my Uncle Todd gave us such a sweet blessing. We were so fortunate to have so many of our family members involved in our big day. A huge thank you to all of you who played a part in our wedding, we appreciate it and we love you so!
As I look over these past 8 years one thing is for certain, life has certainly blessed Michael and I. God has blessed us time and time again. In 8 years we have had 4 beautiful children, 6 (relatively easy) moves, and countless wonderful memories. I treasure these years and look forward to many, many more!
Michael and I have known each other since preschool, about 27 years now! Isn't that amazing?! I cannot express the way I feel about Michael so I decided to post the lyrics from Tourniquet's "When the Love is Right", a song we had played at our wedding. These words say everything I feel:

The journey through our life can bring
A place and time for everything
A day of hope, a year of fears
A thousand smiles, a million tears
Our paths were meant to cross
And I couldn't forget you
No matter what the cost
We both had to see this through
Take my hand, take my heart
We will never be apart
Never be apart
Because I love you
Follow me and I'll lead you
Lead me and I'll follow you
Anywhere, anytime
When the love is right
The path is bright
From the Father of lights you came
And I know I'll never be the same again
A beautiful gift has been given to me
Your smiling face is all I see
The look that's in your eyes
And your smile that sets me free
Has made me realize
All that you see in me
Take my hand, take my heart
We will never be apart
Never be apart
Because I love you
Follow me and I'll lead you
Lead me and I'll follow you
Anywhere, anytime
When the love is right
The path is bright
Together now and forever
You are the one
You are my everything
To me you bring
The love that I have waited for
The look that's in your eyes
And your smile that sets me free
Has made me realize
All that you see in me
Our paths were meant to cross
And I couldn't forget you
The soul in you is the soul in me
The way that it was meant to be
