It's been 4 years!!!!

Four years ago today...I met the love of my life standing outside my apartment waiting to pick me up for our first date!!  I have to admit that my first thought was, "Is this guy serious??"  Bryan and I love to look back and laugh at his first impression :)  I walk down the stairs of my apartment building and see Bryan leaning up against his car with his arms folded and his legs crossed at the ankles.  It is the kind of stance some guy does when he thinks he is way too cool to even dialogue with someone like myself.  And not only did he do this pose (which was funny enough) but the car that he happened to be leaning against was his '98 beat up Mustang!  Even though I'm making light of him, I have to admit that my very second thought was "This guy is super cute!!"  I guess his tactic worked on me after all.  We had the best first date I had ever been on!  We talked the night away and could not stop laughing.  It was such a genuine love from the start.  We have so many fun memories together.  I could write out thousands, but another funny one from our second date that we frequently laugh about was when we decided to watch his favorite movie, The Patriot, because I had never seen it.  He was walking toward me on the couch from across the room and yelled out, "Romeo, Romeo...where for art though....."  and then he totally wipes out. We could not stop laughing at his attempt to be charming and then tripping over something at the same time.  I literally feel so blessed to have such a fun loving, wonderful man in my life.  I am beyond blessed at how fun he is, how much he loves the Lord, how much he loves me and wants to make me the happiest bride on this earth, and what a wonderful father he has become.

This was on our actual first date!  We fed the ducks at Papa John's Park right after dinner.

This was on our 3rd date at Captain Quarters.

My in-law's breed Alpaca's so this is my first sheering day!  Kind of random, I know :)

One of our many, many Friday night date nights at the Country Club.  They lose money on us each time we go because Bryan eats so many king crab legs at the buffet. 

We went to see Soji, this fiddler guy, and we literally laughed the entire time.  Just take one look at the picture of Soji in the background and you will get a glimpse of our night. 

UK vs UL game.  We made up the Cat Claw in honor of Big Blue winning!!

Hiking in Gatlinburg

Bryan cut his cornea while cutting the grass and he had to wear this patch until it healed.  I laughed everytime I looked at him...I prob should have been sad for him but I just couldn't muster up that emotion!!

Wall Climbing

This is Bryan's favorite picture because it truly does capture my excitement the day he proposed!!

At Lauren's Luau

Bryan's Aunt Shannon takes amazing pictures! 

Bryan likes his food like he likes his woman...hot! Yea, I just brought that joke back.  He literally gets the hottest sauce at Firehouse Subs.  They rate them from 1-10 and he has made it to level 9.  It was called 100% Pain. I don't think he recommends it if you ever go there.  

We're Pregnant!!  No wait...it's just me.

My amazing hubby planned a surprise 30th bday for me and totally pulled it off!!  Love you honey!! :)
