June 29th, 2008, the day my life changed forever. The day I met and started dating Joe.
And yes, I was nervous as nervous can get. As I remember, I was pacing back in forth in the apartment with my roommate Beth, freaking out. Little did I know that I would end up marrying this guy and having a little family.
The date was great. We went to eat at Applebee's (the only good place in Hutch at the time) and had constant conversation, smiles and laughs. I was greatly relieved that this wasn't "another ding dong" that I was set up with. I admired his love for his daughter and the twinkle she put in his eye when he was talking about her, and of course, he was a man in uniform! Kids and man in uniform! I was excited! After supper we went back to the apartment and then went on a walk along the river with Beth. This is where this picture was taken!. I defintiely went to be happy that night.
Not only did I start dating a wonderful man, I also got to start "dating" a wonderful little girl.
Who couldn't LOVE this smile! Abby was a great addition! I loved my package deal! But she doesn't look like that anymore, she is growing up way to fast!
Again, who couldn't love her!
Joe and I did many things while we were dating. I loved EVERY weekend would could spend together. Never a dull moment, and never a moment where I wasn't laughing or smiling.
A year and a half later Joe popped the question with the help of Abby (she asked me first if I would marry her Daddy).
Then came the wedding. September 11th, 2010.
Still laughing and smiling!!
So, I have been very blessed in the last three years. And I wouldn't trade ANYTHING for it! I love my family!
