Three years ago today...my now husband was about to pass out from being nervous as hell and extremely hung over. And I was downing champagne and popping Vicodin with my best friends and dear mother. I kid you not. Today is our three year wedding anniversary! On May 1, 2008 I was getting ready to pack for our wedding in Virginia Beach, but first had to drive to Richmond to pick Billy up. Once we got back to Charlottesville, we were about to have dinner with my classmate and her husband. But damn me, I had to reach into the laundry room with my newly acrylic-manicured hand with full force and caught my pinky nail on the door frame and yanked the whole dang thing right off! Enter: me screaming like I have never screamed before!

So off to the campus health center we went! And they decided this finger situation was too much for them to handle, so they sent us next door to the UVA Medical Center ER. Seriously? For a broken finger nail? Let me tell you, it hurt like hell. They gave me x-rays, prodded my poor naked nail bed, cleaned me up, gave me some drugs and sent me on my way. So on my wedding day, I had a sweet bandage on my finger. I did NOT care because I had my healthy supply of Vicodin.

But all in all, it really was a great day. There is no other time when you can see all of your favorite friends and family all in one place!

I can't tell if three years has gone by fast or slow, because in one way it seems like the wedding was just yesterday, but then I look at all that has happened in the past 3 years and it is really a lot! I know I can say that our relationship is much stronger now that it was then, we know each other much better and are both better spouses because of it. We have certainly had our fair share of challenges, and I won't say I wouldn't change any of it, but I am happy that I have had Billy there for all of it!
