Dave and I were married in January 2004.  We welcomed Hannah Lynn into our family on November 22, 2004...Exactly 3 years and 1 day after the bypass surgery!

Shiloh and I at our wedding!

Dave and I had the most wonderful, beautiful wedding ever!  My goal and the motto for the wedding was "Simple Elegance."  I really think we achieved it!  I had such a great day that I always tease Dave about wanting to get married again!  To him OF COURSE!!!
 

All of my friends and family were there and it was so nice to look the way I did on the biggest day of my life.  I was always so scared that I would hate my wedding pictures because of my size.  Now I love to look at them all the time with Hannah!
I think I am about 12 pounds heavier than my lightest weight, but I am happy.  I would like to have some additional plastic surgery, but that will have to wait until our family is complete.  We are thinking about baby #2 next year after Hannah's 2nd birthday.

Dave, Hannah and I July 4th 2006. She's 19 months old.

I can't even begin to tell you how much being a wife and mama have changed my life.  It's a TON of work, but I LOVE it!  I am now staying at home and I can't imagine doing anything else.  Hannah is my little love and she is SO smart!  I taught her to do sign language starting when she was 6 months old and she has been signing since she was about 11 months old.  It has been such a great  help so that I know what she wants and I am sure it has saved some fits, not all...but some!  I highly recommend it!
