Who would have thought...

Who would have thought that on New Years Eve 2002 I would meet my husband? I sure wasn’t out on the husband hunt but fate would have it that he and I would be at the same bar at the same time. Yes, I said bar. I hate to upset some people who may not have known that, but technically we weren’t inside the bar we were outside under a huge heated tent. I guess being outside makes it better. We were in Memphis at Silky’s to be exact. There was a large crowd of Ole Miss students huddled under a tent near a heater since it was freezing. Trey and I had a lot of mutual friends but had never met. Little did I know Trey had already seen me when I walked in. He later told me that he was attracted to my brown curly hair, too bad that it is neither of those things now. A friend of ours introduced us and we kind of hit it off the rest of the night and started dating a few months after. I went back home to what was then Hattiesburg and told one of my best friends that I had met the man I was going to marry. Knowing how picky I was she didn’t believe a word I said. A year and a half later we were engaged, and a year after the engagement we were married.

A picture from our earlier dating days….

Now 7 years have passed and I am sitting at our house in Senatobia with a sick baby. Actually all 3 of us are sick which is not fun. Ford still has an ear infection and Trey and I just have a common cold.

The last 7 years have definitely been a journey. Trey and I have learned a lot, traveled a lot, and I would like to think matured a lot!!! I am really blessed to have my two boys which make my life a better place. I hope everyone will have a safe and happy New Years Eve and a great 2010!!!
