Jason and I are celebrating our 8th anniversary today! We have been together a total of fourteen years. Wow.
Our first picture together
Are you laughing as hard as I am at this picture!? It's hilarious! I love it. So awkward and fun. We were young, clueless and crazy about each other. Still are (just not the clueless part). ; )
Our junior/senior banquet
Beach pic
We love going to the beach with Jason's family each summer.
Deer Valley Ranch
My family goes to a Christian dude ranch every other summer. They went last week without us since I couldn't travel. ; ( I tried not to think about it too much, but I'm so glad they were able to go. It's one of our favorite places, and we can't wait to take Zach and Colson.
A fun beach pic before our babies
When Z saw this he asked, "Where is Zach?" Ha! I told him he was a twinkle in our eyes. ; )
All these years later Jason and I are more in love than ever. We've seen each other at our best and at our worst. We've rejoiced together and been devastated together. We've laughed and cried together.
The Lord has blessed my life so richly with Jason. I couldn't ask for a more loving husband, best friend and father. Happy Anniversary! I love you, babe.
Love...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:7
That first picture is great! LOL! I have some from back when I first started dating my husband and they are real nice!!

ReplyDelete"The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26.
This is my prayer for you today and in the weeks to come.
Love Meredith

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Sweet Friend! Mark and I just celebrated 18 years on Sunday - man do I feel old! (But what a privilege to grow old with the love of my life!) Pretty neat that we picked the same weekend to get married, even if it was a few years apart :) I am so glad God gave you such a special man to walk through this life together. May you two continued to be blessed beyond measure for years and years to come! Love you and as always, praying for you ~ Kelley

This is such a precious post. Made cry. Of course! Just about all your posts make me cry, but in a caring and loving way :) My husband Jason and I will celebrate our 14 year anniv on June 28th. Happy Anniversary! ~ Dana
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary love! That first pic is hilarious! I can't believe it's been 8 years since we stood on that stage and watched you two say "I do"! What an honor it was to be a part of that special day, congrats on 8 years! Have fun celebrating!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I forgot it was your anniversary. I love the post...very sweet. Ya'll have changed...just a little:) I love you both so much!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! Alex and I will celebrate 14 years next month too...just babies when we met/married! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary~ You guys are just a gorgeous family with awe-inspiring faith. Wishing you many more happy years!
ReplyDeletep.s. Loved the old pics, you guys looked perfect for each other even way back when.... :)
Hey Katie!
ReplyDeleteHoop Fest, maybe? Y'all are so cute!!!
God has blessed you and Jason with a rich history. You are building a beautiful and strong foundation, worthy to be imitated by those who watch you.
Come see us when you can!
much love,
Ms. B.
Ya'll are such a sweet couple!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Love the photos. Isn't it amazing how our love for our spouse just grows! :) We celebrate ours at the end of the week!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to an AMAZING couple! I love the pictures...every single one of them!
ReplyDeleteI know this is simply too ironic -- I have commented before about Jason and I sharing the same birthday (even the year) and then today when I saw your post, I couldn't believe it!! We also got married on June 22, 2002!! What are the odds?
ReplyDeleteLoved the old pictures!!
Happy Anniversary!! :)
Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on 8 years. It's so nice to see a loving and beautiful couple who truly embrace and nurture each other. I'm so happy for you and hope today was wonderful and full of memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to one of the sweetest couples I know!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Prayers for many, many more wonderful years together.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! 18 years is an accomplishment considering today's high divorce rate.
ReplyDeleteWishing you both many more years of happiness!
Katie,
ReplyDeleteHope you all had a great day together! May God bless you with many, many more years together!
Praying for you today...
Happy Anniversary to you both! Here's to many more memories.
ReplyDeletePeace.
We celebrated 8 years on June 22, too! In November, we will have been together 14 years as well! Funny! I love reading your blog and following your amazing journey. I found your blog through Kelly's Korner, but had lots of classes at UCA with Shannon. Small world! Yall are such a fun family :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see all these pics! Happy Anniversary and so glad you guys are enjoying some great time together! Blessings to you!
