Five sweet years

July 26th, 2003. It was a hot hot day in Lynchburg, VA, and it was the best day of my life!!
Todd and I have such wonderful memories from our wedding and I love thinking about it...I even pulled out the VHS video today and cried like a baby...it was beautiful!

I love you, Babe! These have been the best years of my life!

I also reminisced about family and all the wonderful people who were there that witnessed our vows. We am truly blessed to have such a caring and loving family and friends! Both sets of our parents have been so influential in our lives and our wedding was a celebration of them as well!
We asked our guests that day to pray for us as we embarked on a life together, for us to put Him first, to stay faithful to one another and to raise a godly family! God has been faithful to us and we are so thankful, but all those things that we asked prayer for then are things we still pray for today and we constantly need God's love and mercy!

This is our favorite picture from our wedding! It is of us getting pelted with birdseed as we entered our lovely reception at West Manor.
