Prelude

I know many of you who will read this blog already know all about Scott and me, but there are a few of you who may need to be brought up-to-date.  So here goes...  Scott and I were high school sweethearts.  He robbed the cradle, dating a freshman as a senior at Arab High!  We are both from Arab, Alabama -- a place that is dear to our hearts.  In fact, we still travel to Arab each Sunday to attend a church where Scott is currently leading worship.

Scott is a University of Alabama Alum and I a Birmingham-Southern College Alum.  We were married on June 10, 2006, just 2 weeks after I obtained my college degree.  The Lord has richly blessed us in our first 4 years and 4 months of marriage!  We have grown together in Christ as we have watched his plan for us unfold.  We often stop to "count our many blessings, name them one by one," and we are always amazed at what God has done.  

We have a wonderful family and many great friendships (some old, some new) that have helped to shape us into who we are today.  Scott is an only child, which has worked out perfectly for me, considering I am his parents' only girl -- and yes, they spoil me rotten!  I couldn't ask for a better mother and father-in-law!  My parents are my role models.  If you were to ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up,"  I would say a perfect mixture of my mom and dad -- nothing more, nothing less.  I have one sister (3 1/2 years younger) and she is the light of my life!  We are so close and our relationship means the world to me.  You will be seeing a lot more of her in the blogging days ahead!

Scott and I live in Homewood, and we absolutely love it here.  We think we may just stay forever. :)  We have a yorkie named Hobie (4 years old and a pure hot mess)!  He is fun and he is trouble, but more fun than trouble for sure!  It's just the three of us and life is good.

Medical school and the banking world keep us both very busy, but we still manage to make some time for our favorite things:  we love sports (to watch: football/baseball/basketball and to play: tennis and golf), enjoy running, love all kinds of music/shows/entertainment and we are always looking forward to our next getaway -- we love to travel.  We have managed to pack many fun vacations into these short 4 years.  Oh the memories!  Don't worry, there are many more to come!  Another favorite of ours is Alabama Football. We love cheering on the Crimson Tide!

Now, you probably know more about the two of us than you did before!  My future posts will reveal much more.  Stay tuned!
