Marriage, like anything involving time, is a funny thing. It is so hard to believe that it has been that long since David and I stood before our families, friends, church, and God to pledge our marriage vows to one another. On the other hand, it seems like we have always been together. Although I have memories before he came in to my life, it feels like we have shared everything to this point.
I am so thankful that over 10 years ago God brought me to North Greenville College (University now) and led me to Marietta First Baptist Church so that I could meet David and fall madly in love with him! It is funny to try to imagine what your life would be like if you took one different turn. Would I have met David if I didn't move to Tigerville to go to school?! If so, wonder how I would have met him?! Hmm...interesting thoughts!!
One thing that David and I have talked about for years is going to the Biltmore House, especially at Christmas time. This year (thanks to some bonus money I got from GHS) we decided to do that for our Anniversary trip. We spent most of the day touring the house and the grounds and had a blast doing it!!
We we got to the house, they gave us this tour guide that had a lot of info about each room that we visited. We also got the headsets that had audio guides for each room. I HIGHLY recommend doing that if you have never been before. It was very neat to hear the background of the rooms and decorations as well as stories that took place in those particular areas. I'm a bit of a history buff and David is becoming more and more interested in his older years (not so much when he was actually in school!), so it was really neat to piece it all together!
David took a few pics of the house from the outside, but it is so massive you really have to go back a long way to get it all in. When looking at the house, this is on the left side, closest to the gardens.
David and I did our famous self portrait with the Biltmore in the background.
Another highlight was seeing one of the Vanderbilt's cars that is on display in the winery. It is crazy that they had as much money as they did back then! This car is one of ten that was made, so there is no telling how much it is worth today!!
All in all, today was a super fun day of hanging out with my love. I won't get all mushy on you (believe you me, I could!). I will say that one of the things that I love most about my relationship with David is that we really love spending time together. It doesn't matter if we are doing something fancy like going to the Biltmore House or running errands around time, we enjoy being with one another.
So, here's to another 7 years (plus many more)!!
