8 YEARS TODAY!

Eight years ago today I married the man of my dreams! I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was so excited to walk down that aisle. As I began to walk down my husband began to sing to me. It was the sweetest moment in my life. He sang the song "Forever I do." I wish I could down load it to my blog because it was beautiful!

I am so thankful God blessed me with such a wonderful husband that loves the Lord and his family with all his heart! God has taught both of us so much in the past 8 years and we have grown stronger in Him together as a couple. I am so excited to see what God has in store for us this year. It has already been wonderful. Jeremy, I know you are reading this and just wanted to tell you that you are the love of my life and I love you!

This morning I woke up to this...

My husband is so romantic! Roses are one of my favorite flowers. When we first got married we would eat turkey bacon (at that time I did not eat red meat) and biscuits for breakfast. You guessed it...I had turkey bacon and biscuits this morning.

That is not all! My husband called this afternoon and told me to be ready by 3:00 that he had a surprise for me, but would not tell me what it was. So, after he picked up me and the kids we pulled in here...

We were at Animal Kingdom Lodge. This is one of my FAVORITE places!!! When you walk in it is so amazing. The pictures do not even begin to show what it really looks like. You really have the African feel when you are there. I was so excited. He made reservations for us to eat at the restaurant Boma. When we were waiting for our table we walked around outside and saw Zebra's, giraffes, and all kinds of other wildlife that would be found in Africa. For those of you who do not know, it is my dream to go to Africa and tell those children about Jesus! Jeremy is so thoughtful and made the night so special.

When it was time to eat the waitress treated us very special. She handed us these...

We had special buttons to wear and throughout the entire night, everyone we saw who worked there would tell us "Happy Anniversary!" They also gave us an anniversary card signed from the staff at Boma. It was signed in the different languages of Africa. That is when I got a little weepy. Again, Jeremy made this day and night so special for me!

When we were finished and I thought we were waiting on the check the waitress brings out this surprise...

WOW!!!!! The surprises just kept coming! What a wonderful night and way to celebrate the last 8 years!
