Yesterday Trace and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. I don't know where the years have gone--they've flown by. Trace and I met at our best friends wedding. When he walked into the church for the rehearsal I turned to my girlfriends and mentioned that I would marry him someday. After they laughed at me, they reminded me that I hadn't even met him and didn't even know his name. I assured them that I would find it out before I married him! We fell desperately in love and the rest was history! We had a whirlwind courtship that spanned over two states. I was going to college at NAU in Flagstaff, AZ and Trace was already in the Air Force and stationed in California when we met in February. He asked me to marry him on a beach at sunset May 25th and we were married September 14th...ONLY 7 months after I had met him! I am sure people doubted if we would make it. We only dated for 7 months and this courtship was entirely long distance. But, here we are today...12 years 3 kids, and 3 dogs later. Life in the military together hasn't always been roses and sunshine but every minute has been worth it! There are so many things I love about Trace, from the way he makes me laugh to his playfulness with the kids. There are no doubts that he adores his family and we adore him! Thank you Trace for being my "bestest" friend and choosing me as your life partner. It's been a wonderful and blessed ride and I look forward to many more years to come!
