August 2, 2003 - Wedding Day

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on our college campus , Josh and I were married. It was a great day that has many happy memories.

August 2, 2004 - 1 year Anniversary

Josh and I had just moved to Charlotte. We were living in our friends basement. I spent the day at the pool. Josh spent the day in the Police Academy. We then had dinner for 7 in the kitchen. Part of our wedding cake was for dessert. Later that night a promise was made that we would always do something special to celebrate anniversaries in the future. (I did get to go to dinner and a movie that weekend for a late celebration.)

August 2, 2005 - 2nd Anniversary

Myrtle Beach, SC. We spent the day on the beach and then had dinner at a restaurant that was a refurbished church. It was a great 4 day getaway.

August 2, 2006 - 3rd Anniversary

Amelia Island, FL. I was pregnant and happy to just lay on the beach, do a little shopping, and hanging out in our hotel room. We did take a sunset cruise after a nice dinner at a waterfront seafood restaurant.

August 2, 2007 - 4th Anniversary

Alyse Nicole had just turned 6 months old. Mom and Dad were living with us at the time. I didn't think that we would do anything, but Josh made reservations at the Ballantyne Resort. We enjoyed a nice dinner, warm chocolate chip cookies in bed, and a couples massage.

August 2, 2008 - 5th Anniversary

Cruise to the Bahamas! We spent the day at sea laying out in the sun. We dressed up for a fun dinner and then I was given a beautiful eternity ring.

August 2, 2009 - 6th Anniversary

TODAY!

Last night Josh turned to me and said, "You need to pack a bag. Tomorrow after church, you and I are headed to Charleston." I started asking questions about where we were going to stay and what we were going to do, but we decided to just be adventurous and head down there for the night. So, we are off on an adventure!
