The Best Of The West: True Love...True Happiness!!!

TODAY IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY!
TODAY IS ABOUT LOVE!
TODAY IS ABOUT LAUGHTER!
TODAY IS ABOUT FOREVER!
TODAY IS CHAD & I'S 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!
On April 8, 2006 I married the man of my dreams; the man I want to be with forever; the man that I love with all of my heart; but most of all...the man that God placed in my life!
How awesome is that!!!!!!!!!
We have an amazing love story and this is just the third chapter! I hope this book is at least a 60 chapters!
Chad and I have grown so much since that February day back in 2005 that we met and that Spring day in April when we got married.
We have learned about trust, faith, hope, and love and not just in each other...but the Lord, as well.
Our journey is always full of love and laughter...it's our life together.
It's the West's Love story...
We met on February 19, 2005 when Chad knocked on my apartment door at SFA.
Instantly...it was love. Neither one of us could deny it and it was an amazing journey from the first knock (on the door).
We became engaged on November 12, 2005 (yes...just short of 9 months later).
I graduated from SFA in December of '05 and we were married on April 8, 2006 @ Heritage Ranch Country Club.
February 19 was one of the best days of my life, however...April 8 was when I knew he was mine forever!
We've been 'on the go' since and have yet to settle our roots in a place we'd like to call home.
God has opened many doors for us and we are thankful for that. We both have the careers that we had hoped for....and are just waiting on the location. =)
We do not have children yet, just 3 dogs that we completely adore (Mudder "the granny", Callie "3", and Gunner "15 weeks")!
Our life is truly great.
I could not ask for more....I have all that I need and desire in Chad.
He loves me, he makes me laugh, he provides for me, he adores me, he supports me, and he even irons my clothes when I'm running late for work!
I really belive that I have the best husband in all the world.
Thank you God for bringing this wonderful man into my life.
Thank you Chad for loving me with an endless love and remaining the rock in our relationship.
TODAY IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!
