Happy Anniversary to Us

We just celebrated out 8th anniversary! It has been an amazing 8 years fo Tony and I. Our lives together have been full of so much excitement, heartache, and best of all full of love. When I look back to our wedding day, and the events leading up to it; I particularly remember our wedding ceremony rehersal. I had specifically told Tony and his friends no to be late. I was worried because the Colorado-Nebraska game was on (that was when we were a good football team); it went into overtime and my mind started thinking he would be late. Low and behold I got to the church with my mom, and Tony and ALL his groomsmen were already there, so guess who was late.

We had talked about our vows before, and I gave Tony strict instructions he was in no way allowed to cry at the wedding because then I would and my make-up would run and I would be a mess. So we got all our crying out during the rehersal...i couldn't stop crying. Tony, being the strong man he is was great!!

The day had finally come nad mom woke me up at 7am telling me she felt like an expectant mother!! I really just wanted to be sleeping, but beauty called and we had to get ready! When we arrived at the church to get dressed, mom wasn't ready and I was worried she was not going to make it back for the pictures. I don't think we had cell phones yet to call her. She mad eit and looked like a radiant mother!! I was amazed at how calm I felt and was feeling until the minute te doors opened and we were to walk down the aisle. I froze...my heart was overwhelmed and I couldn't believe all those people looking at me, there were there to witness Tony and I delcare out lives and our love to each other; secretly they just wanted to see my dress! Mom and Kevin were ready to start walking and I remember whispering to them that I needed to catch my breath before we started or I was going to lose it!! I didn't and the day was perfect!!

Thank you Tony for being my very best friend and sticking with me through the heartaches and difficult times in our lives. I could not have gotten through one single minute without you by my side. Thank you for always believing in me and allowing me to try things and then change my mind. Thank you for being by my side and honoring my deicison about my career, I know it wasn't easy for either one of us. Thank you for honoring me and loving me everyday. I love being your bestest girl and pray we have a lifetime of love and happiness ahead of us. Tony, you are an amazing father and I love watching you play with the girls and see how they love being with you. We prayed so hard to be parents and I know at times, we never thought itwould happen. Addison and Olivia have made us truly believe in miracles and that if we put our trust in God, he will fulfill our lives. My medical condition and problems have truly tested our faith, and everytime, we have dug deep and prayed and trusted in Him. I imagine our life with more little ones running around and I pray God has that same plan for our life together. I love you Tony!!!

We decided to spend our anniversay with the girls this year. No candellight dinner, no romantic movie, but laughing, singing and playing with our 2 little miracles. We even got to see Santa on our anniversary. Here is Addison sitting on Santa's lap asking him for "a train and a dolly with pigtails".
