Ten Years Together

The beautiful story of us...

When we were in Ms. Furlow's seventh grade science class, Isaac and I were assigned each other as lab partners for the year. We "went out" for about two weeks before he broke up with me because I wouldn't kiss him. His exact words were that I was "as straight as an arrow". We spent the rest of the school year picking on one another.

A few years later, we were entering second period on the first day of our sophomore year of high school. Ms. Cano had us draw numbers to get our assigned seats for the school year. Isaac and I were once again assigned seats right next to each other. He was actually in the seat directly behind mine. After grading each other's papers for a few weeks and flirting back and forth, Isaac asked me for my phone number so I could help him with some homework. I'm pretty sure that was just an excuse to ask for my number, because we started talking on the phone allll the time.

A few weeks went by, and I decided to ask him to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Since I was a cheerleader and he was on the football team, I waited until game day and then painted a giant sign to hang on the press box above the bleachers:


I'll never forget watching the team walk out on the football field to warm up before the game. Isaac looked up, saw my sign, and shook his head "yes" with his gold helmet on. The whole team (coaches included) gave him a hard time throughout the game, but it was totally worth it.

November 17, 2011 came pretty quickly:


I made sure to get us Abercrombie sweaters in school colors for the big day. They turned out to be so cute. We still have them both hanging in our hall closet, although I don't think we could fit into them anymore:


We went to the dance with Chris Crunk and Contessa O'Neal. We took a limo to the Knights of the Round Table show at the Excalibur. The show was pretty cool. It included a dinner of soup, a whole chicken, and veggies. The downside was that, staying in the time period of the show, we weren't allowed to use any silverware. That was fun.

Afterwards, we went back to my house to hang out until my mom drove everyone home. We took Isaac home last and when I walked him to his door, he asked me out and we had our first kiss.

(Seriously, can this story get any cuter?!)

The rest is history. We spent the next few years of high school breaking up, making up, and having a blast with our best friends. Friday night football games were what we lived for, and we have such great memories from those years.

After high school, our lives got even better. We got engaged in 2008, married in 2009, graduated from UNLV with our BSBA in Business Management the same year, had a gorgeous baby girl in 2010, and are now expecting our second baby girl!

I wasn't sure what pictures to include, so I chose one from each year from 2001-2011. It's kind of like a little picture timeline of our first ten years together. Enjoy:












It's been the greatest decade anyone could imagine for two people. We are so blessed to have one another, and I can't wait to see what the next ten years together brings!!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
