Looking Back and Catching Up

This is us in our dating years I believe we were engaged at this time.

We began dating when he was a Senior and I was a Junior in High School. The greatest thing was the great friendship we already had from the beginning. He stayed close around in college and so did I. We had good times and bad times like most young relationships!!! Man was it a learning experience. Then once the engagement occured, reality set in like it never had before and I knew this was the man God had meant for me to spend the rest of my life with. Since May 10th 2004 I can honestly say our relationship has been wonderful!!! We have had to give and take in many situations and had many discussions when there might be a conflict but overall the "next level" after dating has been greater than I could have ever imagined.

The Most Amazing Day of Life Thus Far!!!!
May 28th 2005

It was perfect!! I did lose my shoes so I went barefooted the entire time. And we did have a groomsmen faint, but oh well it just gave us another memory!!

This is where our life began!!! In this little duplex in Milan TN, so many mermories were made here!!

Garrett has officially graduated!! He started looking for a coaching and teaching position. This pic is of us and his parents. Not sure where his brother Anthony was.

I had offically graduated and would start my RN position after I passed boards later on that month. This pic is of my parents, brother Micah, and us.

After almost a year we when our lease was up we thought we would move in with my parents who had so much extra room and it was kinda like an apartment expect we would have to share a kitchen. We thought this would be smart to save money, as Garrett looked for a job and we looked for a house. We did not know God had other plans for us. After our one
year anniversary trip to Chicago we planned on moving in with them.

However Garrett began to interview in the Nashville area and before long we were packing our bags and moving to Nashville. Whew what a whirlwind. It was difficult and the first several months were such an adjustment not being close to our family. I was still driving back home to work until I got a job in October at Summit Medical Center. Below are some pics of our apartment.
