Today is our 8 year anniversary! It seems like yesterday I walked into the Atlanta Temple and saw Jamie pale almost a yellow color sitting in a chair. He claims he was sick but for some reason right after we were sealed he got his color back and he was fine. Can anyone say wedding jitters? I love to tease him about that. Jamie and I met at a church dance (lame, I know!) he told me I could sit next to him if I went to his singles ward. I said no thanks! I thought he was cute but was a little sure about himself. He thought I was pretty but a snob. Later I realized Jamie is just nice. He really meant I could sit next to him so I would not have to sit alone. He realized I was NOT a snob, I was just shy around cute guys but I also had some fire in me. We actually started to hang out because our friends liked each other and we were just tagging along. I thought he was cute but refused to act like I did. We hung out almost everyday. There was a Halloween dance and I was supposed to go out to dinner with a guy and then another guy asked me out so I was trying to decide what to do. Jamie called me at work and asked what time am I picking you up? I gave him a time and called the other guys and cancelled. We went to the dance and then hung out at my house after with friends. I remember when he asked me to dance my heart raced a little. He asked me out the next day and we pretty much were together from then on. 3 kids and 8 years later here we are. I am happy to say, I love when I see him in public during the day when I am not expecting to see him (like at Kroger or something) I still get that little heart race. He is so handsome in a suit. I love when I walk into church with the kids and he greets me with a smile and asks how my morning was (he is EQ Pres and has meetings before church). I love that he loves the gospel and he cares so much for us, his family but he also has compassion for others. He really does care about people. We have 3 great kids, we hope for maybe 2 more through adoption and years and years of fun!
