Tag I'm It

My sister, Angie, tagged me and so I have to do this crap.
She is an amazing mom, sister, and friend. And I can't begin to say all that she means to my family, and personally to me. So I won't :)

She did this tag thing, so I have to be a good sport...I have to write 6 random things about myself and then tag 6 other people.

1. I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue
2. I scored 30+ on English, Math, and Science on the ACT, but a 15 in the Reading section.
3. I went to the following schools in K-8

• K - Ross Elem
• 1st & 2nd - Germantown Elem
• 3rd - Benefield Elem (GA)
• 4th (Semester 1) - East North Street Elem (SC)
• 4th (Semester 2) - Ridgeway Elem
• 5th - Germantown Middle
• 6th - Crump Elem
• 7th & 8th - Germantown Elem

4. Joanna turned down my date requests for several months before giving in to going to a DC Talk concert. HAHAHAHA
5. I have Crohn's disease
6. I often wear shorts under my jeans/pants, and two pair of socks

I don't know six people to tag that haven't done this, but here are a few

Clay...
Zach...
Heather (or Benjamin)...
JR...

Here are the rules.
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules to your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.

5 YEARS!!!

Happy 5-Year Anniversary to Us!!!

I can't help but think that I have the most awesome husband in the world. God has made Joey so unique and special. And as we have grown and journeyed through the ups and downs of our ever-changing life together, these 5 years, my love for him has grown deeper and stronger. I am so blessed....so, so blessed.

Well, our lives have pretty much been constantly changing since we got married! Here's the run-down:

2003-Married

2004-Expecting 1st baby

2005-Ella was born

2006-Expecting 2nd baby

2007-Seth was born
2008- 5 YEARS!!!

Here we are in 2003...

Here we are in 2008!...

So we really wanted to "get away"for our anniversary...and we did...sort of. The kids spent the night at their Honey and BB's house, and Joey and I were off to downtown Memphis. We checked into the Madison Hotel, got dressed all fancy, then went to Grill 83 (in the Madison). All the food there was great...Joey and I both had steaks (of course) and they were delicious. It was nice and quiet...and we had lots of time to talk and reminisce. It was so nice going out "just us".

After we ate, we went to the rooftop and watched the sunset...it was so peaceful and beautiful. Perfect weather.

Okay, so we got a little bored up there...

Doesn't he look like a hot-air baloon? (check out the lightpole)...

I tried it, but it just wasn't the same.

I like getting pics of ALL face...it reminds me of the hilarious time a while back when we noticed one of Joey's mom's multi-picture frames on the wall at her house...where she put a big close up picture of him in a tiny circle.

It was kind of like this...

Sorry for the randomness.....

Okay, so after that, we rode the trolley down to this quaint little hole-in-the-wall place called, Cheesecake Corner. I tried to eat a yummy cheesecake brownie, but I was so stuffed from dinner, that I barely made a dent in it.

A few trolley pics...

Then we trolleyed on down to Beale...we almost decided not to b/c we were so tired after all that food! It was only like 10:30 or something, and we were both yawning! Man, we must be getting old. Anyway, I'm so glad we kept going, b/c we ended up randomly running into our friend, Brock (who we hadn't seen in almost a year) and his new fiance, Grace. So we hung out with them at the Flying Saucer for a while.

Then Joey and I headed back to the rooftop to relax for a bit...we just could not get over how awesome the weather was! It was a perfect ending to a perfect night!
