The Original Because of Love

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.

Can't wait to see what the next August 2nd will be like. I am already starting to get some ideas.
