once upon a time

a boy from Georgia met a girl from Oklahoma.

only God can weave our lives in such a way that we look back and realize how He was working on our behalf when we were totally unaware.

Ever since we celebrated our 1st anniversary, we have taken a picture holding up the number of years we have been married. We keep all the photos in a special little album. It is so much fun to put in a new picture every year and look back at years past. The different places where we celebrated, the different stages of our lives - so many memories.

This year we celebrated with special friends who share the exact same anniversary. Micah planned the evening and did a fantastic job. We drove out to Port Aransas and had dinner at this delicious chef owned restaurant called, Venetian Hotplate. After dinner, much to Emily and I's surprise, Micah and Chris had rented these golf cart/low speed street vehicles and had a scavenger hunt planned for the two couples. We had to race around the island and take pictures of the different items on the list. It was so much fun! The boys get an A+.

Here are some pictures of our night together celebrating 17 years together!
