Birmingham, AL

The first leg of the trip was from home to Birmingham AL. We decided to go an alternate route to avoid Atlanta and I-75. Matt's dad usually takes this route when he goes to FL ...a little longer in miles....but NO TRAFFIC which is worth it's weight in gold. Our trip started on our 16th wedding anniversary. We had dinner after checking in to our hotel at The Fish Market. The Fish Market is a locally owned neat little restaurant. In the picture above, Matt and Abby are enjoying Lobster Bisque.

15 Years!!

Fifteen years ago, I married my best friend. Twenty years ago, Matt and I met and started dating. We've been together for more than half our lives. I can't imagine live without him. I think things work for us so well because we are such great friends. We have similar tastes, likes, and dislikes. Don't get me wrong, the past 15 years haven't been all candy and roses, but it's that journey that has made us into who we are. Not only do we have a great life together, but we also have two wonderful kids that have made the journey all the more worthwhile!
