Eleven Years

Today Brian and I celebrate our eleventh wedding anniversary. It's so hard to believe that in the summer of 1996 I drove off to Yellowstone National Park to find freedom and ended up meeting my future husband as soon as I got there! I'm such a rule follower and NON-risk taker that I really can't believe that I called my parents at the end of the summer to see if he could come home with me to meet them! Totally out of character for me to bring a complete stranger home from a summer in Wyoming! But it was definitely all in God's plan--my parents loved him from the start and knew there was something special between us. We spent a few months flying between Florida and Arkansas and Brian proposed to me on December 28, 1996. Definitely a whirlwind romance, but when you know, you JUST KNOW!
