My Big Ten Champs

Well at this time they weren't "officially" big ten champs but they were well on their way! We started a new tradition last year of driving back to MSU to watch my beloved Spartan football and meet up with two of our favorite people in the whole world that we never see enough of, Jen and Brady. Last year was the awful loss to Penn State but this year was an all but heart attack win over Purdue.

With this game being the weekend after veterans day, their was a fly over in honor of our troops. Darreals never experienced a fly over so this was really cool for him, and even though I have this was still very special. Gave me chills!

Love our troops, thank you for all you sacrifice to be there for our country

Let the game begin

The touchdown the sealed the deal!

Go Sparty!

Great times had by all; last year was a great trip, but this year for some reason was even better... Probably because we won! This was the last home football game of the season, *tear* I can't believe it went so fast but what an AWESOME year our Spartans have had! So until next year, farewell Spartan Stadium.

With This Ring....

Sooooo.... been gone for a while, almost a year to be exact. But i'm happy to come back with pictures from the happiest days of my life thus far, Our weddingmoon! Now the definition of a "weddingmoon" is a wedding and honeymoon in one, and that's what we did ( a little backwards, the honeymoon was the first 6 days then the wedding was on day 7) but we finally did it! After 7 years of up's, down's, and growth I'm so very happy to be Mrs. Darreal Paul Gay! Not really thrilled about the last name, but it'll grow on me, love you honey!

Anyway it's taken me so long to post these because I have soooooooo many pictures that the thought of blogging them was overwhelming. So at the idea of my lovely husband ( i have to get used to saying that) I'm going to show some of my favorites that have not already been posted on facebook, and then my favorites from wedding day!

First time EVER snorkeling, exciting, but a little scary....

first time ever snorkeling AND with the sharks AND without a cage to keep the sharks from eating us alive... exhilarating but REALLY scary!

My girls! (jen, i wish i could photoshop you in)

Groom's ready!

Okay, I'm READY!

Anxiously waiting.... Poor man, spends half his life waiting on me!

With this ring, i give you my world

The kiss that brought me to tears.... 7 years finally sealed with a kiss

What a wonderful day... what a wonderful WEEK! Ciobhon, JD, Jen, Brady, Glenda-boo, and Cindy; THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I hope each of you know how much we love you, and how much we appreciate your love and support! For those of you who couldn't make it, thank you for your well wishes. Lastly, for those of you who have been with us from day one we never could've gotten here without you so perhaps the biggest thank you goes to you!
