Candle By Night

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary! It's amazing to think all that has happened in nine years! (In September it will be 12 years since our first date). So, I wanted to take time to share some pictures with you. I have divided them up into groups: our engagement and our wedding.  ( this is a repost from a couple years ago ) I will first tell the story of our engagement. We had been together for 8 1/2 months when Hubby asked for my hand. And boy...was the proposal a good one. I had many friends jealous over this. That summer I was babysitting for 3 children and when I returned home from work I came home to an apartment filled (and I do mean FILLED!) with streamers and balloons. I think I had about a hundred balloons in my apartment and streamers were everywhere. On the table were a dozen yellow roses (one of my utmost favorites) and a box. What was inside that box you say......It was a gorgeous black dress that he picked out for me and instructions to put on the dress and meet hi...

It's sometimes hard to believe we have been married for eight years. (It's eight years today as a matter of fact.) This fall it will have been 11 years since our first date. :-) I just wanted to let everyone know that I LOVE MY HUBBY! ;-) Like most of you couldn't figure that out. LOL It's amazing to think how far we have come. We started here.... And now we are here. Words can not even begin to express how blessed I truly am. I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine- Song of Solomon 6:3 Happy Anniversary Honey. I love you!

I just wanted to share a few pictures from this past week. First up are the gorgeous flowers that I received. Aren't they so pretty? :-) On our anniversary I purchased a window marker to leave a message for Beloved when he returned home from work. He liked it a lot. :-) Then on Friday Beloved and I had the opportunity to spend the evening alone without the children. :-) My MIL kept the children for the evening. The children had a wonderful time spending the night with Nana and E-pa (that is what Little E calls grandpa). It was the first time for the younger two to spend the evening away from home. Anyway, Beloved and I had a wonderful dinner at the Alcove Restaurant in town. If you live near Mt. Vernon and have never eaten there...I highly suggest going at least once. After our delicious dinner Beloved and I had a chance to relax at our little "cottage" at the Mt. Vernon Inn . This was a surprise for Beloved. I reserved the suite in January and he didn't know where ...

**This is a repost from last year. Yeah I know, but with a lot of things to catch up on...it was just easier than retyping this entire thing. LOL So just bear with me. ** Today is our 7th wedding anniversary! So much has happened in seven years, but we have been together for almost 10 years! (In September it will be 10 years since our first date). So, I wanted to take time to share some pictures with you. I have divided them up into groups: our engagement and our wedding.
