15 Years and counting

Today Jimmy and I celebrated 15 years of marriage.  We are planning a weekend getaway in a few weeks so today we kept it low key.  Mostly we just spent time together.  Lunch at China Ko.  Lol. That's how we roll buffet all the way!  He sat with me while I worked and we just talked.  It might not seem like much, but with busy lives it is the small things that keep us connected.  I will say he totally surprised me with a gift.  (I thought we were only doing cards).  The diamond out of my second wedding ring (a story for another day lol) fell out about 2 years ago.  Jimmy surprised me by having it replaced.  I was totally shocked and I love it.  After all this time he can still surprise me. I had our wedding video converted from VHS to DVD this week so we could watch it today.  It was not a porfessional video just one my aunt took for me.  We watched it and it was so much fun!  

The first thing Jimmy and I thought was we had no business getting married!  Lol.  During the ceromony Darren kept mentioning the fact that the wedding was a surprise.  It did catch a lot of people off gaurd.  We were young, dumb, and broke!  I kept thinking look how far God has brought us.  I am blessed to call him my husband.  I thought it would be fun to post 10 little known facts about our wedding.  Here they are!

1.  I planned our wedding in 2 weeks.

2.  We were married on a Thursday night because the church was already booked for the weekend.

3.  My parents bought my original wedding ring. (This always bothered Jimmy so he eventually got me another one)

4.  Jimmy really wanted K-C and JoJo's All My Life to be our wedding song but I made him pick another one.  Lol

5.  I worked half a day the day of our wedding because we needed the money and I wanted to take off the Friday after the wedding. 

6.  Even though it is considered bad luck I went to see Jimmy after I got off work before I went to get ready for the wedding.  

7.  My wedding photographer was a crime scene photagrapher and photographed our wedding as a favor for my cousin.  

8.  Someone hit Jimmy in the eye with birdseed when we were leaving the church and he was furious!  Lol

9.  Tami and Randy paid for us to stay in a nice hotel for our wedding night as a wedding present.  (Can you say broke?!)

10.  Jimmy was home for 2 weeks on leave and l did not see him again for 8 months!
