At SW High School the day before graduation.
Even though we have known each other since 6th grade, this is the first picture of the 2 of us together that we have. It is a good thing that Joshua said no to me when I asked to go out with me in the sixth grade, because it probably would not have lasted.
June 3rd 1997 is when we had our first date and since that date I have been in love with him with all of my heart. I am truly a lucky woman. Joshua is an amazing friend and husband.
Here is just some of the many pictures we have taken over the past 12 years…

At Joshua's house, when I lived there with his family.

In our first apartment together.

Carving pumpkins! We have always loved to do this together.
Before kids, we were able to get creative with the ways we said I Love You! Here are just some of Joshua’s amazing creations.

2 of his favorite things: the outdoors and airplanes.

He sprayed the "famous" rock on the way to Bellingham, WA.

What an amazing day!!
After 6 years together, we finally got married. August 2, 2003 we were married on Del Mar Beach in Anacortes, Washington.
We do love to celebrate the holidays together!

Halloween pumpkins.

Getting read for Thanksgiving Dinner.

We got this tree with our backcountry permit!

Then on November 26th 2005 we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Wesley Buckley.

Two more big changes came in 2007. In July we moved to Austin Texas and on August 13th our sweet little girl, Jillian Rose was born!

Thank you Joshua every day we have spent together! With your love and support I have grown into a strong and happy woman and mother.
