Starting off 2008

So far 2008 has been wonderful but flying by so fast! I can not believe I will be out of school in 3 1/2 weeks and Marc finishes exams in 2 weeks. He is busy studying while I am playing right now:)

This year has been crazy already. I overloaded myself with teaching,tutoring, technology training, teaching online classes and being tennis captain, (which this is my last year to do...ha!) Marc has been so busy with Moot Court and classes! We did get some great news though....Marc received a scholarship that will pay for his last year at MC. That was a huge answered prayer!!

Marc and I both started off the New Year training to do the Seaside Half Marathon but in late February, Marc broke his foot...this is the 3rd time since we met. I need to get him on Vitamins:) No seriously it was a stress fracture from running so he did not get to do the race but went and was a great Cheerleader. It was a beautiful weekend in Seaside and we had a blast. My race time was my Personal Best 2:01..that is good for me:)

Then for Spring Break 08, as we like to call it..ha, Marc and I went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. All my extra jobs paid off! It was so much fun! We spent a relaxing week on the Beach and enjoying Mexico.

Since then it has been back to school for both us and we are just holding our breath until summer.....

2007

2007 was a great year! We rang in the New Year in Tahoe. Some other Highlights of the year were-In March, Marc and I ran the Seaside Half Marathon and then in April I ran the Nashville Half Marathon with my friend Suzanne. Later in March, Marc and I celebrated his first spring break as a college kid:) We spend most of the week with my family in Philadelphia. It was great! My nieces were at my moms most of the week and we went fishing, rode horses, rode 4 wheelers...had the best relaxing week. We also enjoyed the fine cooking of Chef Mom:) Now that is a vacation!

Of Course, July 8th we celebrated our 1 year anniversary We were busy packing for our trip which was our anniversary present of course:) But we stopped to celebrate.... We watched the wedding video, ate our wedding cake-which tasted not so great after 1 year, and watched our 1 year video I made for Marc. We also went to Amerigos to eat since this is where he took me on our first date. Then we packed up for Europe and headed out the next day....... We spent the first 2 weeks traveling through Rome; Venice; Florence; Cinque Terre (Italian Riveria); Lucern and Bern Switzerland, and Paris. We then spent 2 weeks in London while Marc took classes. We were able to stay with Marc's friend Brad for most of the 2 weeks. I even missed my very first Neshoba County Fair! It was worth it:) It was the best summer ever. I still can't believe how blessed we are to get to see and do as much as we did. We returned to Jackson on a Sunday night and I started back to work on Monday...not so much fun-Ha!










The rest of 2007 was very busy with Marc's school and me teaching, tutoring and teaching online classes. But of course we made time to go to all the MSU football games and we celebrated my birthday...want even say the age by Tailgating in Starkville then Marc surprised with dinner at Anthony's in West Point and we spent a night in Starkville. Lots of fun..I had not been to Anthony's since college so it brought back some memories. We spent most of our Friday nights in the Fall at Philly High Football games. This is my Nephew Ethan's Senior year so we went to cheer him on. He had a great season!

Christmas was wonderful with both of our families and then Marc's Family took us to Disney World on December 27th. The McCarvers also went with us. We had a blast all acting like kids!! We rode every ride several times and chimed in the New Year at Epcot! So much fun!

Our Beginning:)

Marc and I got engaged March 31, 2006. He proposed to me while running which was such a surprise and so sweet because running is how we met. We were then married a short 3 months later...why wait..ha! We were married on July 8, 2006 and it was the best day of my life! Marc is truly my answered prayer and worth the wait:) This summer we will celebrate 2 years. Wow time flies! The funny thing is last summer I kept calling it our 2 year anniversary and just the another day I asked Marc what we are doing for our 1 year anniversary this summer so I am really confused. Marriage has been great and we have had so much fun this last 1 1/2.



We started with our Honeymoon in Maui, which was the most amazing thing ever. I have always dreamed of going to Maui and it was just as pretty as I had hoped and a perfect Honeymoon! Of course when returning we headed to 7 days at the Neshoba County Fair! This was Marc's first time to stay the entire week. We also celebrated his big 30 at the fair and he did the Heart of Dixie Triathlon.


Then for Christmas 2006, Marc's parents took us Snow Sking in Lake Tahoe. I had never been before so this was very exciting. Skiing was harder to me than it looked but luckily Marc and his family were very patient with me and I finally got the "hang" of it after 2 days.
