11 years ago....

11 years ago, my high school sweetheart and I officially started 'dating'...

or unofficially... one way or another, our relationship began 11 years ago!

No facebook back then to document our life changes...

 

We met in high school orchestra - Casey played cello.

After he graduated, and became 'available' again,

we went on our first date - I was a Junior.

 

I'll save the more sappy, interesting stories for another day  :)

For now, let's see some "dating" pictures!

 Haha!  Our true colors!

 

 

Casey is the only guy I ever dated!

I am so lucky to have him!

 

I hope we can stay one of those, "sappy, cute, good looking,

happy during the good and the bad times" couples forever!

 

 

Casey bought these shirts :)

 

Even the neighbor lady was mentioning

how great Casey is helping out around the house...

and how he is so great to wear his "I love my wife" shirt!

He sure has them fooled! HaHaHa! Just kidding!

 

 

My oh my -- how much can change in 11 years!

Today, instead of exchanging cheesy aol instant messages,

our two little boys and I got to hear our sweet baby girl's heartbeat!

 

We are blessed to spend our lives together!
