It’s been 7 years and 12 people ago. It all started when I woke up September 29, 2001 to a beautiful Saturday morning. All the girls were with me and we were getting ready to go have our hair done for the events that were going to take place a few hours from then. The boys were also doing whatever boys do to get ready for the “big event”. 
Our “BIG DAY” has arrived. We all made it to the Gray House for our debut. They ushered me into the B&B and upstairs to the room where we would put on our beautiful dresses and get ready to make our appearance.
“The time has arrived” someone said. The music started and the vocalist began to sing. The moment came when I would start my walk to meet the man I would spend the rest of my life with. I had the arm of my handsome son as he guided me down the aisle. We came out the door of the B&B and walked onto the grounds between where rows of chairs where all our families and friends were seated. The others were waiting at the end of the walkway. There he was, the man who would soon be my husband. My daughter, my two new daughters, and my new son were also waiting. The wedding was beautiful.
It was a gorgeous Fall Saturday afternoon. The wind was blowing, but the sun was shinning. The only problem the wind caused was before the ceremony when the director was trying to light the candles. But she didn’t give up, the candles were lit and the ceremony started on time. We decided the not only would my husband & I light the unity candle, but all our children would take their individual candles and help light the unity candle with us. We left our candles lit to represent our individuality as well as becoming one family.
In the past 7 years our family grew from 7 people to 12 people with 2 more in the works as I write this, they will show their beautiful faces somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas (there will be more on these precious little girls when they get here).
I hope you will enjoy the pictures of our special day. I have been truly blessed with my family and love them dearly.
Happy Anniversary to my WONDERFUL HUSBAND!!

Happy anniversary baby...
Seven and counting. And counting. And counting.
Happy Anniversary to you both. I love you both. Thanks for being an inspiration for all of us.
I love you!
I am a little late, but happy anniversary! Also I want to add that you left out the two funny parts of the wedding. The flower girl didn't drop the flowers until she reache the end and the bumble bee inturupting the prayer! You can't leave those out!
Thanks Katie,
You are exactly right. Those were very funny parts of the wedding. There are 2 things that we can't predict: Kids & Insects! LOL
