Colwell Family: Happy Anniversary Bobby

On March 18, 2006 Bobby & I got married. That day was a day that I thought would never come. As a single mom I thought when I decided to leave Madison's dad I not only was agreeing to be a single mom and breaking-up with him, but I really thought I was giving up my chance of ever getting married. I never thought I would find someone that loved me for me and loved my daughter as their own. But God had bigger plans for me! Bobby & I started dating in October right before Madison turned 4. We immediately hit it off-and very quickly I knew he was the one. We were engaged a couple days after my birthday in July while on a trip home from Steamboat. We stopped in Ft. Worth to watch the Yankee's play and before their first game of the series Bobby nonchalantly asked if I wanted to wear "this ring" I was in the process of putting away jewelry I had on and was not planning on wearing any--I quickly changed my mind! We had a fun rehearsal dinner, beautiful wedding and very relaxing honeymoon-it was a wonderful start to our lives together. The last 3 years have been amazing-I get the privilege of seeing a different side of Bobby. He's an amazing dad to Madison & Zach, and an amazing husband to me. I thank God for bringing him into my life. Happy Anniversary Bob!

This year we got to celebrate without kids-Nana & Grandpa kept the kids and we headed to downtown Denver to celebrate. We went to Ruth Chris' for dinner-it was amazing!! I would highly recommend getting the sweet potato casserole-It was out of this world! I really wanted to lick to bowl, but thought it wasn't the proper thing to do at such a fancy place. After dinner we headed to the Brown Palace for the night. This is a very nice hotel in Downtown Denver where the presidents stay when they come to town. Although we didn't stay in the presidential suite we had a very nice room-no one came and got in bed with us during the night, and we got to sleep as late as we wanted to. Thank you Nana and Grandpa for watching the kids!!! Once we got up and ready we walked to Cecil's office and went to lunch at Maggianno's-another one of our favorite places to eat.

My beautiful little flower girl-she told me before the wedding that you throw the petals up-and if they land on someone they get to take it home-it's like a prize! She did a great job!

Bobby & I

I love this picture-Bobby's acting goofy "pretending" the sign the marriage certificate (which you don't have to sign anymore) and Madison is giving he the eye.

Me, Bobby, Madison, Amy (my best friend since kindergarten & matron of honor), Chris (Bobby's brother & best man)

Cutting the cake--I designed this myself! I love chocolate cake and Bobby likes white so instead of doing 2 cakes we layered the cake chocolate & white and alternated the icing--it was so yummy!
