Seven Years

I thought it would have been fun to show pictures of Willie and I from each year of our marriage. Well I'm behind in my blogging already so I probably won't post any. For the first two years of our marriage we relied on the good old disposable cameras and I think we borrowed a film camera at some point. We were in school we were (are) poor college students. The perks of life back then were that we drove to school together and he would walk me to my building where I worked (the Fine Arts building). He would continue on to his building to his work. During the day at some point we would get together to have a Top Ramen lunch. On occasion we would put an egg in with the noodles and boil it. Not too bad, but I don't think I have had it that way since we were in college together.

Depending on the day we would either stay late so I could finish a project or we would go home at a decent hour for a good dinner. Our rent was super cheap a little less than $400, but now it's more than we desire to pay. We visited our family on a weekly basis, now we visit hopefully once a year. We graduated in the same semester.

Willie and I had Parker about a week and a half before we moved our things to Georgia. Four and a half years and we are looking at the end of paying for school. We have seen parts of the world. We have made many wonderful friends. But most of all we have grown so much in seven years and we are best friends. We have learned to work together. Our love for each other has grown stronger. I am grateful for my best friend. He does so much for me all of the time and he sacrifices a lot to be with me and our family.

Willie and I have had our ups and downs but we know that if we hold on tight and keep Heavenly Father a part of our lives then we will always be okay. Willie thank you for making the first seven years a wonderful adventure.
