Celebrating our 13th Wedding Anniversary today!!!!

 My Handsome Groom and I

I remember peeking out of the 3rd floor window of the beautiful Junior League Mansion, seeing his truck drive into the parking lot and just being so happy and content that I would become his bride in just a few hours.

My sweet poodle Cindy & I.  She came to the wedding and walked down the aisle with my mom!  I know, I know but she had been through everything with me since the 5th grade, went to college, even spent quite a lot of time sitting in a chair in the darkroom while I printed pictures and sat through many 4 hour photography critiques.

 Kurt Parker (Minister) Me, Dave and Grandpa Bob
My groom's grandfather preformed the "I do' part of the ceremony and
Kurt,as he put it, added all the special fluff.

Love this picture of our hands, we take a new picture every year of our hands.

 My gorgeous Wedding Cake.  I designed the lacework on the the side of the cake. 
I still love the Autumn flowers used on top of each layer.

Redheads look so fabulous in green.

She made her dress and jacket for my wedding, just beautiful!

Here are a few pictures from last year's visit:

 Each and every year we go back and visit our special place where we exchanged vows.

 After we had our first child we started taking pictures every year back at the Junior League Mansion.

I love looking back and seeing how are family is growing.  This afternoon we will make our annual visit to our special place once again.

12 years together, October 18, 2009

Had to include this picture. 

This is the day we got engaged, December15,1996.  Dave are you impressed I remembered?!?  No make-up, hair not fixed (probably needed shampooing too) 

My groom and I had breakfast at the old Arcade Restaurant that morning and then drove down to our favorite park down by the Mississippi River.  I couldn't believe when he finally ask me.  I was so excited and thrilled that I was going to be his wife.

~Happy Monday everyone~
