A Day That Will Go Down in History.....

Welcome to the world of Josiah and Tiffany....10 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is our 10th wedding anniversary, and in honor of such a magnificent day in history, let us take a walk down memory lane....



May 1996. The top picture was us when we graduated from High School. We got to "walk" at church with the other seniors even though we were homeschooled...which kinda was dumb to me.....I had graduated a few months before (took the GED) and felt far above all the other idiot seniors. I know...how awful. I am still ashamed.

The next picture was us at our Prom. We created our own Prom since, again, we were SO not interested in the "real schools" Prom. Don't we look adorable?! :)
I was 17 and Josiah was 18....and this was 3 months before we got married.













On to wedding showers.....we had about 17. They were WAY fun and we got so many wonderful gifts! Gee, don't we look like kids? Ummm, that is because we were!!! Ha!









Our wedding!!! Now, you might be wondering about the poor photo quality of these wedding pictures. Well, here's the scoop:
We had a sweet friend take the pictures and he took several hundred. In all the commotion after the wedding (while we were on our honeymoon) the pictures and negatives got THROWN AWAY. Yep. All of them. The only surviving pictures we have are ones we had photocopied....hence the poor quality. Josiah and I had concluded that one day when we have more expendable cash (and assuming by then we are still in our right mind and able to walk without a cane) we will get married again...have a BIG party...and get our pictures taken by a professional who we can sue if the negatives get lost. :)
Kinda hard to sue your own flesh and blood.










Our wedding....with my parents and his parents.

















Our honeymoon. Humm......why do we not have more pictures from our honeymoon? Well....................................here's that story:
We went to a cabin on lake blue Ridge for our honeymoon. It was SO beautiful! However, 2 days into the honeymoon our car broke down. Yeah. Like, we had to stop every other mile and fill the something-or-other with water so the engine would not explode. So we ended up cutting our honeymoon short so we could drive home and let my Daddy fix the car. It was quite expensive. So the other pictures from that glorious week are mostly of Josiah working on the car...and the car smoking....
Now I am beggining to see why everyone made bets on how long we would actually stay married...our luck was not so hot at first!!!



















Aaaahhh....our very first house! A week after the wedding we moved to Travelers Rest, South Carolina (near Greenville). This is a 200 year old farm house on 40 acres that had been restored sometime in the 40's-50's. Despite the bitter cold and flaming heat, it was an adorable house that we really enjoyed. My friend Aran (in this picture) and her mom drove up there with my mom while we were on our honeymoon and fixed up everything for us! They put up all the gifts and got all the furniture ready (both pieces) so when we got there everything was ready. What sweeties!!!!! :)
