10 Years

May 1998

Chad and I have been together for TEN years today(well give or take a day). We can't remember exactly. This first picture was taken on Chad's last day of school at CCHS. Oh to be a teenager again(no thanks!!).
I was a student aide in the guidance office at CCHS, and Chad was an aide the same period in the athletic office. We knew each other, but that's when we met officially.
Our first date was dinner and a movie, Titanic and McDonalds.
He graduated and went off to IU while I stayed at CC for one more year. We dated for 5 years, which were hard at times because we were long distance but we made it. We were engaged in May 2002, and got married May 31, 2003. Apparently May is our month. The rest is history.
In honor of our 10 years I'd like to list 10 things I love about my husband. Even though I could list many more I'll stick to 10 for now. In no particular order..here's to you Chad.

1. Your love for Jesus (well that one is in order).
2. Your blue eyes
3. The way you take one last bite of your restaurant leftovers before putting them in the fridge.
4. Your patient and positive attitude
5. The way Chase lights up and smiles when you walk into a room.
6. Your passion for sports(even though I don't always act like I love this one). :)
7. Your love for animals
8. Your facial hair
9. The way you help around the house even when you are tired from working and coaching
10. The example you are to your students and players

I could list many more!!! I love you Chad! Happy 10 years, and here's to many more together!
