To My Best Friend :

Well Matt. You can officially say it: You have been with (put up with) me for a QUARTER of your LIFE! haha! Do you feel old yet?? Even if I've been annoying, stressed out, energetic, lazy, tired, confused, happy, sad or anything, you've always been there for me. You know me better than I know myself.  And even if we are turning into (oh wait, we've already turned into) that "old couple," I can't think of single other person I'd rather spend my time with!  I'm glad we've been some of the few people who've been able to handle the long-distance relationship for some time, and guess what? We only have a couple more months of that! These past 5 years together have been wonderful, and now I'm lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with you! You are my everything, and you know that ;)

Enjoy a few (okay, a little more than 'a few') pictures of us over the past 5 years! [and Matt, you know I like pictures and you know how many we have of us, so you know it was a challenge for me to narrow it down to these!

Our handprints

At Varina, there was a lot of construction going on so plywood boards were put up along the sidewalks.  Several clubs and organizations chose a few boards for the members to paint in any way, and on one, Key Club members put their handprints & names all over it.
