Dave was born!!

Happy 31st birthday Dave! This whole post is just for you! I'm so blessed to have a wonderul fiance like you, and I can't wait to marry you!!

I'm feeling guilty about having class in Troy tonight on Dave's birthday, so this blog is my apology for my absence. I may have gone into photo overload here, but I've been working on this post for a week now. I just kept finding pictures that I had to add. And you may get tired of the Star Wars music. I uploaded it to go along with the blog intro. Click on the next song by Toby Keith. It's always reminded me of Dave. Also, for all of you readers that are always telling me you don't know how to leave a comment, it's easy.

This was Reese's first dove hunt with Dave.

This photo is of Dave calling in some geese.

Another turkey bites the dust.


We love Auburn football!


Dave and Chad ( his little brother)
This is Chad's first turkey. The hunt lasted all of

30 minutes. How come this never happens when

I go hunting with Dave?????

Here we are on Dave's 30th Birthday last year.

This is "some of" my family (plus or minus a few:)
I gave Dave a duck hunting themed surprise party.


Here we are at The Hilltop last April when Justin
was home from Iraq. I had to throw this one in baby
because you're smiling so pretty. Also because I noticed Nugget's
expression in the background ;)


I love my turkey hunter, and hope he kills one on his
big day! Gobble, Gobble!!


Here he is exhausted after a hunt. Dylon
didn't know what to think about all of this.


Here we are with The DuBose's (Jessa Ann is in Marrianne's tummy)

Before there was a Dave and Mandi, there was a Jay, Marrianne, and "Neighbor Dave".

While they are no longer Dave's neighbors, they are still the best of friends to us

and we love them so much!

Last summer we met The Simpsons!

Here we are visiting Camp Mac on party night.

We don't look half bad here, especially considering that we hadn't
showered in over 24 hours.

Long story, but we were on our way to a wedding in TN, and Dave's uncle's car over-heated on the interstate. After we sat on the edge of I-65 for 4 hours, we finally got a new mode of transportation, and were on our way. We made it to our hotel in just enough time to throw on our dress clothes.

In this photo you see two tired birthday boys

and their worn-out Dave.

In October we got engaged!

2007 Iron Bowl..........War Eagle!!!

Here we are on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2007.

We are getting married in exactly one year!!

This picture is of Dave and his HouBaby at the Christmas Parade in December.

Happy Birthday Sweetie! I LOVE YOU and thank God for you every day!

I'll see you tonight when I get home from school!

We love you!!

Mimi and Reese
