{Twelve Years}

Dave and I celebrated our anniversary on Sunday.
Twelve Years!
We both kind of look at each other like....what?!?!?
Twelve years...really???!!!
Where did the time go?

During the hustle and bustle of getting ready for church in the morning
Dave took my wedding ring off the kitchen shelf
took my hands in his and said his vows again
word for word
while he placed the ring on my finger
the boy's still got it!!!!:)
The girls, who were sitting there having breakfast, were like eeeewwwwww...
kind of funny!!

Dave made a truly scrumptious dinner.


And brought me some beautiful flowers.


We wanted to take a photo of us on the big day
Of course we waited till right before bed-time
We were too lazy to get the tripod out so we let the girls take turns with the camera
They thought that was totally cool!

I think we have made pretty good use of our twelve years together...

I've included the funny outtakes for your viewing enjoyment





Here are some photos from the real big day.

We got married at the Marriott Key Largo Bay Resort
It was a beautiful location and a picture perfect day.
I took photos of the photos in our wedding album.
That would explain the weird flashy thing in the corner and the little gold edges!:)




 I love this one because the sun started shining so brightly as soon as we said "I Do"  
and headed down the aisle
same view from above
this is the one we have hanging poster size in our bedroom
this is one of my all time favorite ones too
isn't it just gorgeous?

same bridge
our friends and family
the bubbles
just loved it

wish you could see this part in our video
they filmed us in slow motion walking across this bridge 
and the song The Way You Look Tonight was playing
we went  the whole way across the bridge, down the sidewalk and 
then into the glass elevator
then we gave each other a huge hug and kiss....we had no idea we were being filmed!
the girls love that part of the video!

The girls were so cute, they threw us a party after Aubrey was in bed.
We went on a scavenger hunt and our prize was tickets for a spa.
We got to sit on the sofa together and they rubbed our feet and hands!
Where do they come up with this stuff??:)
We loved it!
We asked them if they could just put themselves to bed so we could stay right there 
on the sofa together in our post spa state
they wouldn't go for it though!:)

A beautiful day
A beautiful life
I love you so much honey
Happy Anniversary!
