APRIL 10th...

Wowzers, I can't believe that I've been married to the one and only Dave Ray cpa for seven years today, how is this possible?! We met when I was merely nineteen years old, tied the knot at twenty... yikes! I am now the age he was when we got married. We've been growing up, livin' lots of life and Time is a-flyin' as we try to learn a little everyday how to be better people together. As my dear friend Jayme Lynn put it so perfectly, I am a balloon and he holds the string. I drive the guy crazy, bless his heart. He is my complimentary opposite, my ground and my much better half and I am happy to be his gal. Seven Years down, forever to go...

And I am an aunt, hooray! My pretty baby sister, the girl I shared the twin top bunk bed with till I was seventeen, Katie the boo (and husband Lanny the manny) had her very own baby today... lil' Heath Bradley, 7 pound 6 ounces of perfection, he is so so beautiful and I so wish i could have been there to behold his newborn sweetness delivered straight from the Heavens, and hug my Boo for being a brave mama, she is a mom... double wowzers. He is the first grand baby and nephew in the White Family, making mom and dad a grandma and grandpa, pretty cool. It was a big 'ol good day and I am so very grateful for the gift of family... it is my everything. Thank you Lord.

  7. Congratulations to you and your entire family!! There is nothing like family and what a gift a baby is!!! I thought being a mom was the best thing in the world and now I find that being a grandma is even better if you can imagine it.
    I hope you get to see that precious little bundle soon!! xo

  8. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and your new nephew! I hope you all experience lots of joy in the days and years to come. Also - "Seven years down, forever to go" sounds like a great song title. You could also make every verse a different year's milestone. But I'm not a songwriter so I could be completely off base.

  9. Congrats to you and your family for having two great events. Two successful marriages and a new baby at the same time. Grand children are the best because as grandparents you have seen the life cycle of birth and death of close ones and know what is really important.
