a look back

David and I had the privilege of sharing our testimony and story for our 10th grade sunday school class a couple of weeks ago. It was such a blessing to both of us to be able to share what the Lord has done in our lives, especially in the last 7 years. David made a slideshow if pictures to show the kids while we spoke, so they would have something to look at. This doesn't include every picture we showed, but this is the majority of them. I thought it might be fun to show you some pictures from our past, from dating all the way to the birth of our sweet Camden. Hope you enjoy!


I think this was the summer before our senior year. Getting ready to go on a "date". This was my parents' living room. Miss that house! :(

Dating again... I think we might have been going to Carrabba's to eat that night if I remember correctly.

Queen of Hearts Court, 2003. It was SO much fun to be able to experience that together!

Prom 2003. What a handsome date I had!

Bogart's, our freshman year in college.

The proposal! This was the real thing... my sweet sister was there to capture the whole thing. This picture was taken after I stopped crying hysterically... David totally caught me off guard and gave me the proposal every girl dreams of her whole life!

Our wedding day, 2004. I married the man of my dreams!

Pregnancy pictures. My sister took a lot of pictures for us so we could capture those wonderful memories! I was 4 weeks from my due date in these pictures.


He's here! Camden was born after 12 hours of labor, weighing 8 lbs. 10 oz. This was within moments of his birth, which is why I look the way I do. ;)



These are so much more than pictures to us... they truly depict God's grace in our lives. We've had a wonderful journey, and we wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for reminiscing with us! :)
