The last days of the Maggi TWO

It has recently hit me (like a ton of bricks) that after 4 more weeks, the TWO of us will become THREE and it will never be just us TWO again. I have been reflecting on the past 8 years of our relationship (5 years of it married) So, to reflect, celebrate, and to close this chapter of our lives, I invite you to take a look at some pictures from our past.

 

This picture (above) was taken at Mabry Mill on our first anniversary. (2006)

 

(above) is at my Virginia Western CC graduation (2007)

 

(above) is a photo of us at Niagara Falls (before married, 2004)

 

Same (Niagara Falls)

 

Grand Canyon (Nov 2004)

This was the night that we brought our cat home, Allie. (who is no longer with us)

 

This was our 2nd anniversary. (2007) We took a drive around…

  

This (above) was taken for our 3rd anniversary. We were at the Clifton Forge Fall Festival.

 

Christmas Concert at WSBC taken in 2008.

This was taken in 2004 for my HIGH school graduation. 

This was taken the day after we got married.   

same, the day after we were married.

 

We used the above picture in the paper to announce our engagement. :) Below was taken the same day. (We were at Niagara Falls)

The below pictures were taken in Maine in 2004. :) We had a great time traveling the country together.     

Picture below was taken in Naples, Florida in 2004. We went on a dinner mini cruise.

This picture was taken on top of the Empire State building in NYC July 16, 2004. He proposed to me up there.   

below was "nap time" in Niagara Falls.  

Dennis and I visited the Precious Moments headquarters, and we took this photo there. We were fighting that morning, I remember. I am not sure what state we were in that particular week.  

below is a Christmas photo from say, 2003?!?! I cannot remember, I do not think I was out of high school.

 

The below picture was taken in Georgia as a result of a detour I requested coming back home from Florida to see his folks. It made me happy to be near water.

We were working when this picture was snapped. We enjoyed our time together. . .  2004 

We went to the top of the mountain in San Francisco that overlooked the Golden Gate bridge. We snapped a photo there.

Night before we were married. . .. 

Of course, our wedding day.     

These two pictures were taken at Christmas time….. either last year, or the year before. . . I am having trouble remembering.  I am THINKING two years ago..  

As you can see, after we got married, we stopped taking so many pictures together. We have enjoyed our time together. . and even though I know the chapter of just us two is ending, I am so sure that we will love our little boy and any other children to come, that it will just add to the romance…Or, well, so I hope. :)

We love you guys for reading our blog of our life together, and hope that things get even more interesting to read when Daniel arrives in a few SHORT SHORT weeks. :)

Love to you all.

Merry Christmas- -

and a happy new chapter to you as well. :)
