5 years

Well, this is about 13 days late lol.
On May 29th Matthew and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. I still can't believe it. I feel as if time has flown by, yet again I feel like we've always been together.  Over these past few five months of not living in the same town again it has really taught us to appreciate our time together. I'm so thankful for our weekly dinner dates, and for our weekends together.

5 years ago on May 29, 2010 we decided to make all that flirting official. I am cherished, protected and honored with an exemplary love, and it just keeps getting better. I admire and respect you and the life that you lead-- how you love and serve, which flows ultimately from your heart for The Lord that I love so much. I am honored to be the one you have chosen to walk through life with, and I am truly thrilled to be your wife. Thank you for challenging me every day to be the woman you deserve. Forever grateful for you, Matthew. You are the catch of a lifetime, and I can't wait to watch you become my HUSBAND in 37 days and start our lives together in Nashville.

5 years

year one

In honor of our 4 year anniversary coming up this Thursday, I thought it would be fun to go back and see what all we have done over the past 4 years! So here is year one, 2010.   //Year ONE// We started "officially" dating on May 29, 2010. We spent a lot of time that summer trying to soak up every bit of time we had together. It was the summer before Matthew's freshmen year of college and the summer before my senior year of high school.   One thing we did that I really enjoyed was celebrating our months that whole first year. I LOVED (still love getting dressed up for dates) getting dressed up and going out on date with Matthew. It was fun but we stopped celebrating "months" after our first year.

In that first year... I watched him graduate from high school

The day we started dating..

Spent our first July 4th together

He came to all my softball games

He borrowed his brothers truck and drove me to school on my first day of senior year

He came home every weekend and we went to all of the football games at my high school

The night before he left for college

We went up to visit him his first weekend at Tech and I got to see the campus for the first time & his and Nathan's dorm!

Celebrated my 18th birthday

Welcomed fall time with trunk-or-treat at church...

Blackout football game at MTSU that he drove all the way home for...

 

and double dates to the corn maze.

We celebrated our first Christmas

and our first NYE!

Went to CYC in Gatlinburg with our church!

I was out a whole week due to snow and Tech cancelled classes for the first time for snow in years, Matthew drove home and surprised me and we spent the whole afternoon out in the snow.

Celebrated our first Valentine's Day together

With the help of friends I asked him to my senior prom

We attended my senior prom with our best friends

Spent our first Easter together

He came home for my academic's award

He watched me graduate from high school

He moved back home for the summer.

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary with a movie and a picnic at the greenway

 

Our first year was fun! We learned a lot about each other and figured out how to make it work living an hour away from each other. We lived for the weekends and loved breaks from school. We were growing as a couple, while still being able to do our own things during the week while we were away from each other.

 

Look for year two later today!!
