Happy Anniversary Honey!

Three years ago today, Don and I were married in an intimate ceremony with family and close friends in the backyard of a wonderful friend. At that point in time, I had no idea what kind of ride I was in for! Here is a rundown of the last three years being married to the best husband ever!

*October 8th, 2005: First date with Don.


We went to Macaroni Grill and learned a few things about Don that have never changed:
1. Don is very driven to get what he wants.
2. Children are an important part of our family.
3. He hates vegetables!


*May 12th, 2006: Married Don in Magnolia, Texas and merged our two families into one.


*July 14th, 2006: Built our first home together in Red Oak, Texas.


Don took a new job as a Controller at a manufacturing plant while I taught 8th grade science so that we could be closer to Dylan.


*May 12th, 2007: 1st Anniversary!

*June 9th, 2007: My mom passed away due to complications from calciphylaxis.

The last year of my mother's life, Don was my rock and was always there to comfort if not understand. He took control on the home front so I was able to go to Utah and spend time with my mother before her passing.

*July 3rd, 2007: Nolan was born in Waxahachie, Texas

There isn't anything Don wouldn't do for his boys!

*August 1st, 2007: Moved to Poplar Grove, Illinois for Don's work.
After Dylan moved to Oklahoma, Don's ambition took us to Illinois.

*March 4th, 2008: Don adopted Brennan.

Of all the occurrences in our marriage, this is probably the most significant. Don asked to adopt Brennan and truly cares for him as his son.

*March 20th, 2008: Family Trip to Disneyland!

*August 1st, 2008: Moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee so that Don could continue his climb up the corporate ladder and become Vice President of Accounting.

*October 19th, 2008: FINALLY took our Honeymoon to New York City!

*January 22nd, 2008: Ian was born in Nashville, Tennessee.

To sum it up:

Numerous Vacations, 4 Jobs, 3 Houses, 2 Kids, and 1 adoption later, I am just as happy as the day we were married! Here to the next crazy three year... but could we please not move again for a while?

I Love you Don!
