March 14, 2004

10 years ago I said "yes" to the best question anyone has ever asked me. After nearly 3 years of dating, Chris took me on a mystery drive to the mountains of Mercersburg for a "hike" on the Tuscarora Trail. What I originally thought would just be a fun Sunday afternoon outing, turned into being one of the best days of my life! :) I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly since then. It feels like it was just yesterday and most of the details from that day seem so vivid in my memory. When Chris got down on one knee that day and asked me to marry him, my joy overflowed with an immediate, whole hearted YES reply. As I look back over the years and all that we have been blessed to experience TOGETHER, I am so thankful for the journey that we are on. Although this journey hasn't always looked like I dreamed it would, it's our journey and our unique story unfolding as each day, month, and year pass. It's hard to believe that later this year we will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and I'm so grateful that God brought Chris into my life in the way that He did. He is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him. I am so not a hashtag person but since it's Thursday...here are some #TBT photos from that memorable day 10 years ago! :)




The kissing picture has never been seen by anyone until now! Gasp! To our knowledge, no one saw us kiss each other until our wedding day so this one remained top secret. :)

Evening Humor

"I'm going to drink some Chai Tea while I practice my Tai Chi." 
-- Chris


The Chai Tea part he is really doing, the Tai Chi part was made up on the spot to make his rhyme work. :) *giggles*


A month or so ago, Chris bought a powder Chai Tea mix at Sam's Club that he soon fell in love with. As his stash was quickly diminishing he did some research and found this recipe. After we successfully found all the ingredients to make it, we tried our first batch last Friday evening. Chai Tea isn't really my favorite thing so it was mostly an experiment for Chris. At first he wasn't sure about how strong some of the spices were since they didn't dissolve as well as he thought they would but it's growing on him. It's fun to be able to find recipes to recreate things you'd normally have to buy!
