And They Said It Wouldn't Last....

We celebrated our 19th anniversary last week, much to the shock of many who knew us back at the nuptials.  I am a very headstrong, stubborn, opinionated, first-born girl who happened to fall madly in love with a very headstrong, stubborn, opinionated, first-born man.  We had some fiery first years and loud discussions.  But, thankfully, love always wins.  And I do love this man.

Trip the road nostalgia with me:
Here I am as The Bride.  Check out my television reporter hair.  It has never again been this short or this dark.  And my eyes are green, not brown.

And here is The Groom.  Yes, I know he looks 14.  But we checked his i.d.  Twice.

And here's The Happy Couple.  We SO were thinking that day that we would have eight kids...NOT!

And here we are last week before heading out for a celebratory Starbucks...and I have got to get some highlights in my hair.  And maybe I need some bangs.  At least my nursing bra is fastened...

  3. Wow--you are a beautiful couple then and now. Congratulations on 19 years. You are so good about updating your blog. Mine probably will not be updated til after Cancun--when I have some new pictures. No baby yet for our daughter and her husband, and boy are they getting anxious for that phone call. I will be posting more then!!! God bless you for another 30+ years!!! (I love seeing your beautiful kids, too).

  4. Love this post. You have both aged VERY well. It must be the youthfulness you keep with having 8 kids :)

    Inspiring! We are only at 5 years and 2 kids...

  11. Happy Anniversary!! What wonderful photos, you both look great. I agree with some of the comments above, I'm guessing your children help keep you both young. I just recently went the bang route, and so far I'm loving it ;) not that you don't look lovely as is, without bangs or highlights!

    Blessings,

  15. Happy Anniversary to a couple obviously made for each other. It's great to see that you both seem even more in love after 19 years and 8 kids. We just celebrated 13 years. It is awesome how the time flies and the love (and family) grows! Best wishes and many blessings.
