Happy 11th Anniversary to Us!

July 10, 2010 marked 11 years since Brad and I have been married! On a day such as today, allow me to boast! I am one lucky woman and am so proud to be married to Brad Brown! I recently was going through a bunch of old cards that we had sent each other while we were dating and then through our first year of marriage. I found one I gave to him on Valentine's Day that first year we were married. It said...

You're a Great Husband...
and I never thought I could love you more than I did on the day we were married--
but I was wrong (This really made me laugh since we had not even been married a year!)
As time goes by, I keep discovering new reasons for loving you more than ever...

It goes on and on (and is pretty cheesy!), but that right there sums up how I feel! Every year I honestly think that I couldn't love this man more, and then it happens. God has blessed us more than we can even comprehend and I am so thankful it is Brad that He chose for me to do life with. There is never a dull moment. He continues to make me laugh each and every day and loves me no matter what (Trust me when I say this can't be easy!). I am one happy woman with one amazing husband! Thank you Brad for loving me and our family the way you do. I love you!

This was taken with my phone, by Brad, while celebrating our anniversary! Sorry for the lovely quality!
We were babies! This was at our engagement party in Sherman.

Happy Anniversary! That engagement photo is priceless - how old were you exactly?! Can still remember those navy bridesmaids dresses. Most importantly, still remember your hubby's tears seeing his beautiful bride walk down the aisle. Here's to 11 more!
