December 29th, 2005 I became Candace Southern Monteleone and it was the best day of my life!!!! Flash foward 5 years and I am happily married to a wonderful man and have the cutest 2 1/2 year old healthy toddler!! Life is good here in Charlotte, NC. Joey is currently working at Bank of America, JJ is in pre-school at the YMCA and I am working part-time (from home) for my father and as a successful Makeup artist!!
We are so blessed to live near family and so Joey and I had the opportunity to just take a day OFF on our anniversary!! We sent JJ to his granparents house on the 28th to spend the night. We had a fun get together with old friends and then had the whole next day to relax and do whatever we wanted to do!!!! It was wonderful... we got some great after Christmas sales at the Mall and ended the evening with an amazing Sushi dinner uptown at the Epicentre! It was so nice to have a day to ourselves and remember what it was like before we had a child..... but at the end of the day I wouldn't trade being a Momma for the world!! My life is now full and I enjoy being needed by my sweet boy!! I do need to mention that we agreed on "no gifts" for our anniversary since the month of December is jammed packed with Joey's Birthday on the 1st, Christmas, anniversary then My birthday on the 1st of January. Joey did surprise me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a dvd with all of our pictures from the past 5 years matched up with some beautiful music!! I LOVED this gift!! It was so meaningful and I was so surprised that he put the time in to put it together!! I LOVE YOU HONEY, THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL ANNIVERRSARY AND THE BEST 5 YEARS!!! HERE'S TO 50+ MORE!!!!
LOVE, CANDACE
