20 years and counting!

20 years ago today Joe and I went on our first date!  I was a freshman in high school and Joe was a junior.  We both ran Cross Country so that’s where we got our first look at each other.  I can remember the different meets we would go to and being all giddy about sitting on the bus with him.  It makes me smile just thinking about it!
I thought I would share a few pictures from the past 20 years.  There were a few doosey that I wasn’t quite brave enough to share but here are a couple here just to give you an idea…

That’s a visual run down of the first ten years…  Let’s see how many different hairstyles I can come up with between 2000 and 2010 – we’ll save that for the next post!

And can I just say I love digital pictures - thanks goodness for whoever invented that! 

  So how long have you been with your honey?

Celebration Weekend

This weekend we are celebrating our 12th year of marriage!  It’s crazy to think about, really.  12 years – are you sure!?!?  I feel like we’re still those crazy kids that fell in love in high school – dorky and silly.  Oh wait we are!
We’ve got plans this weekend to have dinner with some great friends of ours at a new restaurant in town, 15 North Roadside.  The owners of this restaurant have a similar concept in Charleston 17 North Roadside.  So here’s hoping that it will be yummy.
Then tomorrow we are going to see…

I am SO excited!!  Anyone that knows me – knows I love a musical!  And believe it or not Joe is a fan as well!  I’ll let you know how it is!

What do you have on tap for this lovely weekend??

Oh and on the subject of loving my honey…  Check out this Warren Barfield song.  It truly speaks to nature of marriage – it’s good stuff.  Oh and then I am also diggin’ this ditty by Sugarland.   Happy Weekend Y’all!!!

Happy Birthday Sweets!

It’s Joe’s birthday today!!  He’s made it over the mid-30 mark.  Yes I am ousting him in blog-land on his age.  Love you!  We’ve had a great weekend celebrating his big 3-6 birthday.

We started with jazz @ the Bechtler Museum on Friday night and then went to dinner at The Dandelion Market – super yummy!!!

Lots of small plates and craft beers = happy Joe!  And then we had a brisk run in the rain back to car!  It really was a great night!! 

We weren’t able to celebrate too much on Saturday since he had to work and I went out of town (more on that later.)  But today we have been to church and then to lunch and we get to end the weekend with an Ice Cream Social – what could be better!

I love you!!  Hope you’ll have an amazing 36th year!
