*I haven’t quite figured out what is wrong with the blog.  It works on Macs but not on all PCs.  So, I apologize if it doesn’t show up on your computer.

Now, I know I am a LITTLE biased, but I think Noah has to be the cutest little boy on the planet!

A quick family photo right when we arrived!

Noah’s swollen lip after a little wrestling match!!

He’s got music in his blood.

Lake pictures.

Noah with his ‘rents.

Some great family photos!

Two sisters!  My grandma is on the left and her sister Ruth, who is 94, is next to her.  I just love their love of life!

Last but not least-Noah sporting his Georgia duds in hopes that we would beat South Carolina.  That was a rough game.  I don’t think I can take a whole season of that type of game.  

Besides my personal attachment to this place, Noah had an amazing time.  He was terrific on both plane trips there and back, and he loved being outside playing ball or swinging or floating in the lake.  Noah is such an amazing little boy, and I am so excited that he was so fond of this spot as well. 

As I know too well, vacation is not reality, so we headed back to "life" yesterday.  I did my fair share of crying as we left my family.  I am so proud that they are my family, and wish we could see them more than once a year.  My mom and dad still have our camera, so I only have one photo to share until I can download the others. 

One of Noah’s favorite spots..

Here is the picture of the peanut.  (My scanner stinks-sorry about blurred the image!) 

If you know of anyone needing a house, send them our way…please!

Little man is an official toddler-he busted his lip this morning, when we were wrestling.  Time goes by so quickly.  I’ll post pictures soon…I hope!   

Noah loved sitting in his chair right at the edge of the water watching the helicopter fly back and forth.  

Noah loves his Mimi! 

It’s hard to get a good picture these days! 

He was such a cute little guy.  Can you tell who Noah’s daddy is?!?

As I have been packing up the house, I ran across some things from the beginning of our relationship, so I thought it would be a great time to reminisce on how we became The Odoms.  As many of you know, I wasn’t really a "dater" before David.  I had a few relationships in high school that are not worth mentioning and went out with a couple guys in college for short stints. People would tell me that I was too picky or that I needed to be more open, but I knew that God had my perfect match out there and I would know when he came along.  Let’s say that David was the exact opposite of me when it came to dating.  He liked to "play the field."  I actually think I would have thought he was a bit of a player if we would have met under different circumstances.

My world was changed when I met David at SuperWow in the summer of 2004.  I had met him a million times before that week (he ironically remembers none of those previous introductions), and I definitely thought he was a looker, but was determined to keep my focus elsewhere as this was the last week of camp.  At lunch one day, David had confessed to our sweet friends Dustin and Erin that he really felt like he was going to meet his wife this summer.  They so graciously pointed out to David that I was single.  All the while, I thought David was WAY out of my league.  After dinner on the last night of camp, David had asked for my phone number.  These types of things didn’t happen to me, so I really TRIED not to think about it all that much!  I wanted him to call so bad I was sick to my stomach.  To quicken up the story, I will leave out some other key details, but just know that God had intricate plans to bring us together. 

David called me that next Monday, and our first official date was July 19, 2004 to see I-Robot.  We spent that whole entire week together.  After those seven days, I just knew.  After being faithful to wait on God’s perfect match, He had brought David to me.  I was completely enamored by this man.  I couldn’t be without him (I was a really bad friend at this point in my life-sorry friends!).  We were engaged on November 14, 2004 and married that next July.

David, I love you more than life itself.  I am honored to be your partner in this life.  Thank you for loving Jesus with everything that you have and for wholeheartedly loving me for who I am-flaws and all.  You are my perfect match. 

Here are some of our wedding pictures from that glorious day!
Our families made the day so special!

I had the best bridesmaids in the world.

Here are a couple of our favorite bride and groom shots. 

Happy Anniversay Honey!
