Three years ago today..........

Three years ago today, Colin and I got married on a beach in St. Augustine. The wedding went off with hardly a hitch which was pretty amazing considering we had only been engaged for 8 weeks.

As many of you know, Colin and I met while working a flight on 9/11, so in 2003 we had already been together for some time. In March of 2003, faced with a possible job relocation to Chicago, Colin proposed to me under a ski lift in Lake Tahoe. We were in Tahoe celebrating my birthday and what a birthday it turned out to be. While I was in the ski lodge, Colin stamped out the question "Marry Me?" with his ski boots. The only problem was that it was snowing so heavily by the time I came out, I couldn't read most of it and he had to scramble to rewrite some letters. I flung my arms around him and said yes before he could change his mind :) We intended to get married that coming summer.

Soon after, Colin left to train in Florida for 6 weeks. I had some vacation time on the books and I went to visit him and we drove up to Jacksonville to see his brother. While we were there, we visited St. Augustine and I immediately fell in love with it. We decided it was the perfect place for a wedding and that we should do it before Colin became too busy flying.

We rented a house on the beach and invited our close friends and family. Those who were able to make it on short notice made their way to Florida and we all gathered on the beach for the ceremony.

As it has turned out, it was just the beginning of our journey and we are now blessed with two more members of our family. What a difference three years make, heck, what a difference a year makes!

Happy Anniversary honey, you are a wonderful husband and an amazing father, what more can a girl ask for?
