    Happy Two-Year-Aversary To Us!!!

    Today was our 2 year wedding anniversary! We don't have anything special planned just yet. We were going to go to Charleston to celebrate, but couldn't find a place that wasn't booked solid. So we have postponed our little trip until June. Brad did surprise me with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers sitting by the front door when I came home from the gym today! Every girl loves to be surprised by flowers!


    (I got a little carried away taking pictures of them... but I started having fun exploring with my camera... I felt like I was in 5th grade science class when I found the spores on the fern!)

    Its hard to believe our little love story just began 5 years ago almost to the day. We met on May 8, 2003. Brad decided he loved me and I was "the one" the next day, (smart boy) I moved to Tennessee to live happily ever after with the man of my dreams a few months after that. He proposed on our two year dating anniversary, and we were married exactly one year later on May 6, 2006. The last five years have been the most eventful, life altering and BEST times of my entire life... and it just keeps getting better. I feel so blessed to have met and married such an incredible person. He is what every man should strive to be. Honest, sincere, kind, affectionate, hard working, selfless, loving and hillarious! I am a lucky lucky girl... and I'm pretty sure he is a fortunate boy as well to get a girl who is as good at wife-ing as I am!

    Here are a few of my favorite wedding photos from 2 years ago, taken by the insanely talented Sean & Melanie McLellan.

    Our wedding changed my life in so many ways, not only did I marry the man of my dreams, I began the journey into photography that is now my career. Sean and Mel inspired me to pursue something I had always loved and I am forever grateful to them for their friendship, and constant help and support along the way.

    Happy Two Year-Aversary Mr. Watson... I couldn't imagine sharing my life with anyone but you.

    Love,
    Mrs. Watson
