Today is 13 years that we have been married. Honestly its crazy to think that. Yes its cliché to even say it but oh so true… why she married me is still a mystery.
I was a punk, I had white hair from bleaching it so much. An eyebrow ring, 5 or 6 earrings and really was not her type. Forget that, I know I wasn’t her type. I was a kid and she was a woman.
How or why or what (besides God) that helped her make the decision to marry me is still crazy.
I know she didn’t know what she was getting into and neither did I. Thankfully she didn’t or she might have said no!
I worked construction, was in a band and helping out at a youth group. She was a college graduate and had good job. Yea…We didn’t really go together. I still can remember what she was wearing on our first date! I know people go crazy talking about love at first sight but this girl had my heart after our first date.
Did she know that marrying me would mean living in Charlotte or in a fishing village in Thailand, or now moving to Metro NYC?
I would say NO. Actually… I know so because she told me. 🙂
I love that she thinks I’m cheesy, I love that she calls me Jas, I love her smile, I love her laugh, I love her Hazel eyes, I love the way she loves me, I love that she love Jesus, I love that she has stuck with me through the good and the bad, I love that she supports me, I love that she believes in me, I love she is willing to go wherever we feel God is sending us, I love the way she loves our children, I love the fact this blog will embarrass her, I love how creative she is, I love her style, I love she knows me better than I do, I love when she’s stubborn, I love that she is more gorgeous today than when I met her(seriously), I love that she is adventurous, I love she can be a city girl and still love the outdoors, I love that we trust each other, I love to make her laugh, I love to hear her laugh, I love that she loves teeth, I love she is always singing or humming, I love she lets me dream big, I love love to love her.
I know for a fact that I didn’t love her this much when we got married. She had my whole heart then and apparently my heart has gotten bigger because she has even more of it now. I am truly grateful that she chose to spend the rest of her life with me.
I love you Brandi Nicholas. I love you with every part of me.
You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
These Pictures prove that she has only gotten more beautiful!!

That’s sappy but it fits you. Sweet
Yea yea yea 🙂
How blessed am I to have my own Mr Darcy!! I so don’t deserve you! Do I think you are cheesy…ABSOLUTELY!! Would I change it if I could…ABSOLUTELY NOT!! For all the great things you say to me, that I roll my eyes at, I truly need them. They silence the insecurity and doubt in my life and for that I am thankful for your cheesiness!! And yes, at some point in my life I hope to feel “settled” but really what fun would that be. I wouldn’t have shared in half the adventures If I didn’t have you. For each move we’ve made we have learned, met amazing people, and lived in some pretty great places! I’m thankful that we will have a great story to tell! And the adventure continues…..
I love you, and am thankful for you! And I can’t wait to see what you will look like at our 50 year wedding anniversary:)Maybe you will be back to dyed hair and earrings. Ha!! Happy 13th my love!
Happy Anniversary to you both! And to your family! As a child, I remember my parents getting dressed up to go out and celebrate their anniversary, sometimes knowing the gifts to be shared, having a “baby” / kid sitter come in and stay with Stuart and me … it was a celebration for the whole family. For those of us on the outside of your family, it has been fun to keep up with you all during these years! Bless you as you enter this next Season that Father has for you!
AWWW that’s precious
Perfect! God is so good.
OMG! Brandi I liked you and your man from the first. How very BLESSED you two are to have each other and we are to have you in our lives. Can’t wait to see you and the kids! Congrats on your first 13 and the next 37, too! 🙂
