Happy Anniversary to Us!!

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary and I just couldn't resist the idea of doing a little reminiscing, some sharing with friends, and of course embarrassing the bejesus out of us both...
Kevin and I met on October 17, 1988. It was my very first day at Cumberland College and my new friends from the color guard were determined to "set me up" right away. As we approached the music building the girls told me to "let us know who you want to meet," and with not very much hesitation I told them, "the cute trumpet player with the dimples." Later that night, Kevin invited me to go with him and some friends to Cumberland Falls. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I fell in love that same night. I mean, I was SERIOUSLY done for! We sat in a little dip in the rocks by ourselves looking at the stars and talking for hours until it was time to go back to school. (Girls had a curfew...seriously) We became pretty inseparable from that day on, and luckily we developed a wonderful friendship that we still have today.
I had so much fun finding the pictures for this video...I mean are you kidding me with the hair??? The 80s were not good to me! If you look closely, you will notice a few really classic things-first, Kevin is actually wearing a "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" t-shirt in one picture. Second (and most importantly) I was actually about 5'6 at our wedding if you include the 9 inches of hair on top of my head. Jon Bon Jovi had NOTHING on me! Turn the music down at the bottom of the page first-I picked a really special song for the video that you don't want to miss...
Oh! And to my darling husband who is in the next room folding laundry, completely unaware of the humiliation that awaits him...I love you dearly forever, and I am so lucky that I am in love with my best friend...:)
