Happy 5th Anniversary Jeff!!!!

I cannot believe that Friday is our 5th anniversary...it honestly seems like just yesterday that I met Jeff at Melissa Vann's (now Jackson's) house and didn't even give a second thought about what that night would hold. It was June 13th, and it was a party to celebrate us finally being Seniors in high school. Jeff came with Jessica Adams, so I guess I have both of those ladies to thank! After Jeff called Melissa for my phone number, the rest is history! As a tribute to our love for each other, I have decided to post some of our history in pictures...some are from our wedding and our reception on our 1st anniversary. All of them show Jeff and I as we always are...together, loving each other. Although we won't be physically together this year, I know that we will both be thinking of each other on the day that we said our vows in front of family and friends. I love Jeff more and more each year...as the Brad Paisley song "Then" goes, "We'll look back someday on this moment that we're in and I'll look at you and say, I thought I loved you then..." Jeff, I love you with all that I am, all that you have made me, and all that we will be together....SHMILY.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU BOTH !!!!! Shelly - I LOVE the pictures you added - it does seem like it was just yesterday when you and Jeff met. I still remember when you got the call from Melissa asking if she could give your number to Jeff ! You were so excited and I have to believe it was divine intervention that put both of you at that party that night. I can remember that I had to talk you into even going; that little voice in my head told me to "tell her to go"(must have been God for sure!). All I can say is, "Thank You,God" for helping Shelly and Jeff find one another and allow all of us as family and friends to see how much love they do share. Today may be the actualy anniversary date of your marriage but every day is a celebration of your love for one another. I can't give either of you a real hug today but please know that in my heart, I am sending love and support to you both - today and every other day of the year. I love you both very much.
Love and Prayers, Mom
