Happy 2 year anniversary!!

We've been married for 2 years today. WOW. a LOT has happened in two years...

we've renovated our entire house...

we got the most adorable cat EVER, Shamesrella!!!...

we spent 2 wonderful summers in a Myrtle beach motel room...

we went through some soul-searching and wondering why we don't have more friends in clinton...and realized there are about 2 other couples our own age here... ;)

we've ministered together on PC's campus and have talked through things we thought we never would...

we found out we were having a baby and were COMPLETELY SHOCKED...

we found out it was a GIRL and i was blown away with surprise...

we've prayed TONS of prayers together...and seen God be faithful in so many ways...

and we've fallen more and more in love with each other every day.

I am so thankful for Jake. it's so funny how God works...

we went from that summer in 2006 where we met at the Aquarius Motel in Myrtle Beach and I had just become a Christian...

to that fall when we started instant messaging eachother every week...to every other week...to every other day...to every day...to 3 hours a day...

which led to Jake taking me, an insecure, abused, new believer on 2 nerve racking dates...

to our first "real phone conversation" when jake told me he wanted to date me and ONLY me...

to that summer i spent in south africa while he was in Myrtle leading a room and doing accounting and cutting fruit at Kroger for 8 + hours a day (and i was agonizing over whether or not he liked me..)

to that fall when we had a BIG conversation about the future....

to that spring when he told me he was going to work for Campus Outreach...

to that night in may when he "accidentally" told me he loved me at 3 a.m. on the phone, and i made him repeat it 3 times before i said it back...

to that summer i was a room leader and we texted eachother all day and all night, and fell SO. IN. LOVE...

to that fall, when i worked a miserable job while he started his first year on staff, bought a house and a ring...

and asked my dad if he could marry his princess.

my reply? WHEN? when can we get married?!

i planned the wedding in a few months, and the rest is history!!!

I love you sooo much my Jakey! You are the best husband in the world and i can't wait to spend forever with you MY man!
