6 Years Ago...

Well, 6 years ago today Patrick asked me to be his girlfriend. Actually his exact words were, "I guess when people ask, you can say we are together." Ha! He was so funny! :-) We were sitting on the curb outside the back of Hickman Hall. These past 6 years have been something else! :-) They have been full of love, laughter, joy, frustrations, happy times, and sad times, but above all we have grown and are now living a wonderful married life!!! I know there will be obstacles along the way, but we are in this together, and I am so thankful!!!

I am so very thankful for Patrick, and proud of the person he has become. He is a wonderful husband!!! Here is to many more wonderful years!!!

A picture from our younger years!

So, what else has been going on in the Lowery household:

We have been busy, busy... USM football is in full swing. We are enjoying our time tailgating and spending time at the ROCK! We also just made a trip to Ruston, LA. It was not a pretty game, but the Eagles pulled out the W. Thank goodness. Hopefully, there are many more road trips to come!

Also last week, Dave, Emily, and Sarah were in town. We were able to have a little get together at the apartment. It was so great to see them. I miss them already. It was a great night of fun and fellowship. I am very thankful for great friends. I wish the Cook family all the best as they move up North! We will have to plan a trip to see them very soon.

Oh, and I want to wish a very (belated) Happy Birthday to a dear, sweet friend Samantha! I hope her year is filled with many wonderful wishes!

My trip to Louisville!!!

Well, I have been back for a week from Louisville, but I wanted to make sure that I told you about my trip.

I had a great opportunity to go visit Dave, Emily, and baby Sarah. I was so very excited. It was a wonderful trip, and I had the best time. I just love Sarah bear! She is one precious, wonderful baby. It was so fun to watch Emily as a mom. She's a wonderful mom, and Sarah is very blessed. However, sometimes I would sit and think, "how did we get to this point in our lives." Not too long ago we were trying to figure out how we were going to spend the night with each other!

I am very thankful for Dave's and Emily's hospitality. It was a wonderful time of fun and fellowship. I am so glad that I got to go visit them. I wish them the best as the get ready to move way up North. Hopefully, one day I will have the opportunity to visit them in their new home!

I leave you with a few pictures from my trip!

It's HERE!!!

Well, it's here!! Football season that is! Patrick and I are so excited. We have been waiting. It is one of our favorite times of the year. Tailgating, Eagle Walk, The fight song, touchdowns, friends, and family, and watching it on TV.. What more could you want? I may not be the typical girl to love all of this stuff. But, it's been in my blood since birth! (Thanks Mom and Dad). I really do love it! We are ready for SATURDAY at the ROCK!

BUT, until then we are ready to watch the Eagles take on South Carolina tonight on TV. It is sure to be a great game, and we are hopeful the Eagles will come out on top. My dad informed me he was going to sit quietly and watch the game. ha! Everyone who knows my dad knows that he does not sit quietly while USM is playing. I'll be sure to give you an update on how that goes! Wish we there in person, but we should have a great view from the comfort of the couch. Patrick and I do plan on making some road games. Now's the time to do it!

Labor day weekend is fast approaching. woo hoo! I have a very special trip planned. I will give more details when I return. I can't wait to see some very special people!

Have a great day, and GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
