5 years

Brady and I have been together for 5 years now. We started went on our first date February 18Th 2006. This was my senior year of high school and Brady has been out of school for about a year. We were introduced to each other by means of Maceys, Emily and Bradys uncle Bill. Bill and Brady were at a family party chatting about Maceys, Emily had transferred up to the Pleasant Grove Maceys where Brady was working and Bill asked if he liked working with Emily and if he thought she was cute Brady said yes to both and Bill then said if you think she is cute you should meet her younger sister Becca. So at work Brady and Emily were talking and Emily gave him my number, so Brady texted me.
His texed said "is this Rebecca", and on my side I was on a date and sick of people texting me where I didn't have there number so I said "This is Becca who is this?" and history takes over from there. Random thing we have seen each other every day from our first date till now except ten days not bad for five years. So this year I decided to make a shadow box with things from our first year until we got married.
Top Shelf: we went to my senior prom together. The white paper that has talley marks, the first day we met was Feb 15 Brady came down to visit me at work there was a bad storm making the radio do the same songs over and over so I was keeping track. The pack of cards was from the same day since it was a day after valentines day they were clearincing them out so we played that game on my brake.
Next shelf: The little book was something I made in young womens and I filled it out with things that I love about Brady. The ring was one I would wear while we were dating to pretend that we were engaged I loved that ring but didn't like that the ring didn't connect to make a circle. Brady took this ring and designed the ring I now wear now. I will be putting a small toy mustang to represent the one he had when we started dating.
Wedding invitation explains it's self. The book we were in a book store and he picked it up and started reading it to me, I had a gift card so we bought two copies of the book and wrote a nice note to each other. The silver dollar was given to me by my father in law on the day we got married its a family tradition. Brady's grandpa gave one to Brady's mom on there wedding day and said if you keep this you will always have money. So Gary gave this to me saying the same thing.
The bottom shelf is full of tickets that we went to in the first year, the cool one is we have the first movie ticket from our first date. We went to Fire Wall and didn't see the movie at all...because we talked the whole time.
