So I saw fit to write a post about me and my sweet husband... and how we met!
Busy, Busy Bees were we.... My first semester of college was not really my best years. I was confused, scared, living in the past,..... and not sure UWA was for me....But, after second semester... my life changed!
I met Mr. Sean Townsend. Little did I know, he would me my husband just years later. The statement is true, that you will find the 'one' when you are not looking. God knows what he is doing, even if we don't.

| Pi Kapp baseball was my favorite.. (Sean that is)! I played too.... Can you believe it? No... It's okay. I even had pink shoes! |
 |
| I am on the right! The other two are my besties! |
Not looking for relationships, we both started as friends. Not really knowing where I was going, confused, and a little scared of the world... I saw Sean as a true friend. I enjoyed hanging out with him and his 'brothers'. I felt like I could tell him anything. Always lending a ear listening to me talk about my boy troubles.... Yet, never 'making a move'. I am almost certain that is what made me fall in love with him. I miss our all night talks in my car. We would literally sit all night talking and go straight to classes the next day. Crazy... I know. But, then it was the best time in the world. I would be stressed about sister activities, Dance team, ambassador, trying to graduate early, missing my family..... and he would help me map out the best plan to make it all work. Man, I love him!

| Isn't he a hottie! Yes, I know! :) I'm one lucky girl! |
After several months of being close friends, we began to hanging out more and more. he pushed me to study, made sure that I still made time for my friends, and encouraged me to be me! I knew that he was sent to UWA for me.
In college, we were both studying business, and knew what we wanted. That was to graduate and go somewhere! With that in mind, we also knew that we would only be 'in that area' of our lives for a short time. So lived it to the best that we knew.
Being active in our fraternity was very important to us. He, a member of Pi Kappa Phi, and myself a member of Phi Mu.... We worked very hard to be involved in all that we could. The picture below was a fundraiser for another fraternal organization on campus. It was mud volleyball. I can close my eyes and remember this like yesterday. Two sorority sisters, Candy and Elizabeth... and two of his brothers, Scott, and Jaby. We kicked butt if I recall. Sooo.. much fun. I remember me and Candy going to the hall to shower... then us all going to the sub to eat. Ahhh, the easy days!
 |
| Oozeball 2004 (I'm the one of the front left and he is in the middle on the back) That night was the first time he 'asked' me to go 'with him' to an after school function. |
This night was sooo much fun.
Over the next several semesters, we began to meet the families and spend holidays together. I felt like a part of his family from day one.
 |
| I love this man.... This is when we were 'friends'. |
One memory that I have is I actually made him wait like 4 months to kiss me. He said 'it was worth it'....lol
Sorry if TMI... Just thought it was sweet.
I have never known a man like Sean. He is a man of few words (most of the time)... :)
But the words that he speaks, I listen. Now, I have always been hard headed, so we disagree on some things... But, hey that's normal right? He speaks up for his beliefs, he is intelligent about everything. He is the most honest person that I know. He will tell you the truth, even if it hurts... He is still my best friend and I look forward to growing old together.

| My December 2006 graduation. |
August of 2006, While taking a weekend trip to PC Beach .... walking on the beach after a night of dinner and putt putt ...... he proposed. The night was amazing! I said Yes! :)
The next 9 months of planning would not be possible without the My amazing wedding planners (my momma and Mrs. Aleesa Burton. They did it all! Working full time, living in MS, and buying a new house..... I had no worries with two amazing people making our day perfect.
After he proposed, we went to the karaoke at the Sand Piper.. and the first song that played was ''I cross my heart''. We said then, that's our song. So our whole wedding was themed around that song. We danced to that song at our wedding... and had several home videos that my mom spent many hours, and hard work on. It was such a special day! The whole day was perfect (who cared it was a outside wedding and it rained and we had to move everything inside, and a barge came through when the wedding was going on...) It's all part of the experience...

| On the ship for our honeymoon! |
 |
| Our first home we owned in Mississippi when I graduated in 2006 It's even prettier in the inside. I miss this house! |
Our marriage has been a blessing from above. As everyone who is married knows, Marriage is not easy. Nothing in life worth anything is easy (in my opinion). We have been through ups and downs... and I would not trade a day for anything! He is my right hand. We are growing closer together as well as closer to the Lord. I look forward to updating the world on the life after marriage until now.... another night! (Sorry if so long, I just love this man!)
