a walk down memory lane....
These are pictures from a missions trip to Mexico that our youth group went on when I was just 17 years old, in 2000. So that's Matt's skinny arm dangling above me. We hardly knew one another. After that trip we started e-mailing one another. And that was the start of our friendship and love story:-)

There's Matt! What a goof ball. He laid in that funny little bed and listened to music up there the whole trip! He was 18... oh that seems like so long ago and yet like it was just yesterday. If someone had told me that he'd be the man I would be married to three years later I would have laughed so, so hard! Just cause I didn't know him at all really. Life can be crazy!
And here we are.... nine years later. Been married 5 1/2 years now! WOW...

It is fun to ponder back to the days of just getting to know our husbands. I know I am always amazed to see how far we have come. God is so good to find such perfect matches for us.
