Sweethearts!

I post about our little "sweethearts" on here all of the time. But recently I went through a box of pictures and enjoyed looking at pictures of my big "sweetheart." Steve and I started dating when I had just turned 16. We essentially have grown up together. And I pray that God also allows us to grow old together :o)

These pictures that I'd like to share are just the pictures that happened to be in one particular box that I looked through. They don't include professional photos, more recent photos, or wedding pictures. These are just some snapshots that we found from the past, and there are SO many more here to see. If you want to see more pictures, you'll just have to come and visit and I can dig them all out for you :O) It was fun to look at them and be amazed at how time has flown and life has changed!!! Enjoy:


This was before Steve's Junior Prom (I was a sophomore.) We had just started dating shortly before prom that year. Funny to think that these pictures are in the living room of the house that we live in now with our four children!!!

At the prom. This prom was at the Holiday Inn in Shelbyville.

Yep, I was sitting on his lap. I was SO in love with him even then!!!


Steve's Graduation. I love it that we experienced the big milestones in life together!


This was my Senior Prom. Steve came home from Grace to go with me. And, once again, we are in front of what is now "our" house!



At my senior prom. It was at Jonathon Byrd's in Greenwood. Sadly we did not go to Steve's senior prom together. We were broken up at that time but still BEST friends. We got back together right after that!



Post Prom my senior year at GreatTimes! We had a BLAST together!



We went on a fancy date to Illusions in Carmel (back when it existed.) Steve bought me the dress and some beautiful shoes, which I still wear :o)


This is a little out of order, but this was the summer before Steve left for college. We went to California with his family. We were in the back of a little Rodeo, listening to Bill Engvall, I'm sure. We memorized his tape on that drive!


Skipping rocks in California. We skipped them EVERYWHERE we went. Oh, I miss those young, carefree days!!!


The proposal. Steve proposed on Christmas morning in the living room of the house we now live in (I think that is pretty cool!) I thought I was getting boots for Christmas, so imagine my surprise when he popped the question!! I don't regret my answer that day AT ALL!!!



Christmas at my mom and dad's house together.

And my birthday at my mom and dad's house too.


I love this picture of us together. This was at Suzanne and Scott's wedding!

My short hair "phase," shortly after we got married. This was at my cousin, Katie's wedding rehearsal in Illinois.
Christmas about 3 1/2 years ago... Our first picture with our digital camera!
