never say never.

A whole 18 and a half days until we get married.

Excitement. Is the only word I can think of that describes the way I feel right now!

I never would have thought that I would marry Blake Anderson. 

We first met back in the Summer of 06 - at a church activity at my sisters house.

I was going into my Senior year in high school and he had graduated. 

I was scared of boys! yes, what 17 year old girl is scared of boys? oh. me.

I did not talk to him on the fact that he looked... straight thug.

here's a little glimpse of him.

ok, the more I look at the picture, the less thug he looks

but when you're used to country boys. 

ya know - the ones with the big trucks & boots.

that may seem a little country.

To be honest I'm sure he definitely was not interested in this.

No... Not the cow.

ME.

Country Girls & City Boys. Just didn't mix in my mind.

So the Party Ended.

I Graduated High School & Went on to Pensacola to play volleyball 

& Mr. Anderson, served a Mission :)

Up to this point. I had never thought about Ghetto Boy.

2 years later.

I had decided to move to Tally. 

and he came home from his Mission.

& once again, I was not interested..

well, for a whole four months.

We became friends, through a mutual friend.

which then turned into. 

"The Family"

most nights were spent at The Diner on FSU campus.

or at my apartment, until 3 am.

sleep was a rare commodity during those days. 

We had the best of times.

Blake & I played H.O.R.S.E many many times.

& of course I WON!

I fell pretty hard during those two years.

For the one person, back in High School - I never would have expected.

It was a long... yes, trust me L O N G. 

journey to where we are now.

But the Lord knows what you need.

& when you need it.

and now. almost 3 years later.

this is us.

WARNING: NOT VIEWABLE BY THE CHILDREN.

oh wait, it's just L O V E.

18 and a half more days.

& we can make this last Forever.

:)
