Our Story

Patrick and I met two and half years ago at my birthday party. He came with our good friends Stephanie and Seth and three weeks later, we started dating. I like to say that we practically got married on our first date bc we were inseparable from day one. On day 3, my mom had come to the big D to visit me for the week and Patrick took us to dinner at Patrizio's. Apparently mom does know best, bc she claims to have known at dinner that she'd just met my future husband. Thankfully I didn't know this until she told me after Patrick proposed otherwise it would have been a very long 2 years!

If you're reading this and have ever met me, you'll know that I've always believed that God was planning the perfect time to introduce Patrick and me. (I say it wasn't a moment too soon!) I am so thankful for the faith that we both had in Him and in each other to wait for the right introduction.

We've had a whirlwind of 2 years and it's been so amazing. I am truly blessed to have found such a keeper. I'm famous for my lists of 'reasons why I love you' so in a post to come, I'll offer up Patrick's but for now, here are my top 5:
1. his selfless heart
2. his kind words
3. his love for our puppies
4. our constant laughs
5. his dedication to us

I'm so excited to share our adventures of planning a wedding and all that makes up who we are. I think Patrick might be glad that I've found something to keep me entertained for awhile! Our wedding is February 21, 2009 in my hometown of Ponca City, Oklahoma. Stay tuned for lots more about the big day.
