7 Years Ago TODAY!

Here's some of our wedding photos!!!

7 years ago today Chris and I were married! Time sure has flown. If you had asked me 7 years ago where I would be in  2010, I'd would have probably said that Chris and I would have a couple of kids, drive a 4 runner, live in the home of my dreams and not have a single worry in the world, then reality kicked in and I learned again that sometimes my plans aren't always the right plans, God had some other journeys in store for Chris and I. Our first 3 years of marriage were spent in Johnson City, TN so Chris could go to seminary. We lived in this tiny apartment and paid a whooping $395 in rent. We struggled with being away from home, not having jobs, and well just adjusting to having to rely on each other. Although those years were sometimes unbearable we had some of the best times. God stretched us and continually blessed us. After 3 years in TN we loaded up everything we owned in a U-Haul and headed back home to the Auburn area. Chris had now decided that he wanted to get his Masters in Counseling so he headed to Columbus State University and we spent another 2 years living off one salary, but God provided as He always does and now we are here in Opelika living in our little home with our cat, Scout. Not where I thought I would be seven years ago but it's where I need to be. God's plans are so much bigger than mine. I am stronger now, more confident, more open, more loving, and more compassionate. Even though Chris and I don't enjoy the great luxeries we don't live in a fancy house, drive a fancy car or take extravagent vacations, we do however, know that we get to spend everyday with our best friend, we can share our joys, our sorrows, laugh, cry, act crazy and just be ourselves with each other and for that I don't regret a single day of our 7 year marriage. God has blessed us and will continue to as He unfolds His mighty plan for us in the years to come.
