August 28, 2004 - The day we started our life together as husband and wife. They say if it rains on your wedding day it is good luck. I'm not sure about all of that but just in case we are covered. We were suppose to get married outside under this beautiful arbor at the Botanical Gardens in Huntsville. We ended up moving the ceremony inside to the Arbor Room. It was beautiful and perfect despite the change of plans. We have not been back to the Botanical Gardens since. We started a new tradition this year for our anniversary. We are going to alternate years planning what we do. I planned our weekend trip this year. It was a surprise where we were going (although Shane guessed it I never admitted it to him). We left Friday and headed up to Huntsville where we met Nana & Pappy so that Hannah Claire could spend the weekend with them. We had a great weekend spending time together and focusing on the next six years. Shane even got a surprise trip to the primer of "Game Changer". What we didn't know was that the producers would be watching the premier with us. It was lots of fun.
On Saturday morning we headed over to the Botanical Gardens. It was great visiting where it all happened. Although we couldn't get into the Arbor Room at first because of the reptile show. No thank you!!!! So we ventured around the gardens. We even stopped to take pictures where we had them made six years ago. Cheesy but fun. This picture is the one that hangs over our mantel. Love it!
Of course we got married the weekend before football season starts, like all good southern football fans. Even the Botanical Gardens got in on the action. Roll Tide!
After our tour we tried the Arbor Room again. This time they were setting up for a cooking class. One of the guys took a picture of where we actually got married at. It is blurry, which makes me sad, but it is better than reptiles. :)
I am so thankful for the man God has sent for me to spend my life with. Shane is the best husband and dad a girl could ask for. I love him more and more everyday. Thank you Shane for being the spiritual leader of our house. That means the world to me and Hannah Claire. I look forward to many many more years together!
