Happy Anniversary Buster!


Today Matt and I are celebrating 9 years of wedded bliss! A little tribute here to the Grateful Dead, but What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been!! In 9 years, we have moved 7 times!! We started in Abilene, moved to Haltom City, then to North Dallas, Coppell, North Carolina, back to Euless and now we live in Keller! When we walked down the aisle after being pronounced "Mr and Mrs Matt "Buster" Noe", we walked to James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You." It has been very sweet to be loved by Matt. We've been a lot of places together, some good and some not so good. When we first were married, I was finishing up school at ACU and he had graduated and was selling cell phones in a kiosk at Walmart on Judge Ely!! He made $6.50/hour!! We did still have my dad's Texaco card though and we used that for many things, not just gas. (oh to have that card today!!) We moved to the metroplex for a "better life" if you will, and stayed in the area until I came home from work one day and Matt was shooting baskets outside...at lunch!! His company had laid everyone off that morning when he went to work. About two months later we found ourselves 1400 miles from home in a town called Cary, North Carolina!! If he had not been by my side through that move, I couldn't have made it. To this day we will tell people it was the best move we ever made. We bought our first house there, had our first baby, and really found ourselves! Now here we are back in Texas, a family of four, living a great life!! We've been poor as dirt, we've been through deaths in the family, infertility, the miracle of life x two, a leap of faith move that changed our life forever, and recently a diagnosis of a life altering disease! When I was diagnosed with MS almost two months ago, my mom told me that she knows now, more than ever, that God gave me the most amazing man to be by my side! I agree. Thanks for 9 unbelievable years Buster. Here's to our future........
