down in dixieland

Ben and I love Dave Matthews and Dave has been an integral part of our relationship. Particularly, the live version of DMB's "Crash" has great meaning to us. There is a portion Dave will ad-lib and say, "I will be your Dixie chicken, if you'll be my Tennessee lamb, we will walk together down in Dixieland." So with this line, I was asked to be his girlfriend, this song was played in the background as I was asked to be his wife and all sorts of "chicken and lamb-ish" things were exchange as we were dating. It was only appropriate that when we got married, our cake topper was...
I fashioned it from clay and it mimicked a "Chicken and Lamb" painting Ben purchased from an art gallery as a gift for our first Valentine's Day.

So in Dixieland we have been for 3 years now and it has been completely wonderful. God made Ben perfectly fit for me and me perfectly fit for Ben...
Happy Anniversary Benny! I love you and love walking in Dixieland together with our little lambs (we don't have a boy yet, so there are no baby chickens.)... maybe next year (and no I am not pregnant!).

  5. Oh Happy Anniversary!!! From what you write on your blogs, you two are perfect for each other! I think Marriage and Parenting are the two hardest things you'll ever do, but the two most rewarding things! Nothing is more worth your time than your sweet family! Don't blink because time just flies... you'll be celebrating 16 years like us before you know it (and still feel like you just fell in love!).
