11 Years Ago Today

Us when we first started going out way back in 1994

signing the registers at our wedding


the order of service that I designed

It's our 11th wedding anniversary today! I can hardly believe how times flies!!


In 11 years we have lived in 6 houses in 2 counties, owned 9 cars, gained 1 degree, 2 maths GCSEs, & 2 computer literacy qualifications, passed 1 driving test & theory test, had 10 jobs between us (bearing in mind I did a lot of temping as a student), visited 4 different countries, lived abroad, lost 3 grandparents & 2 close friends, recorded an international selling album (we were backing singers!), had 3 car crashes (none of which were our fault!), been to at least 16 weddings, had 3 (almost 4) children..... & done & experienced so much more too! PHEW!
On the day we got engaged we over heard an elderly couple as we travelled on the bus back from Ludlow. This was their short conversation that has stuck with us ever since;
MAN: Have you had a lovely day dear?
WOMAN: I always have a lovely day when I'm with you.
Lee & I looked at each other & said 'That'll be us in 50 years time!' And by the grace of God, 11 years on we are still loving growing older with each other & experiencing all the things that life brings our way. Here's to the next 11 years- who knows what we'll be doing then!! ;O)
