Celebrating Five and Thirty Years!
June 20th, Pure Photography celebrated it’s fifth year of business here in Abilene! We are now in our sixth year and going strong! I’m not much of a party girl so we kept in kind of low instead of throwing a big celebration! I’ve been very blessed with great clients and the relationships made thru these past five years.
Tomorrow is another anniversary though! Mark and I were married August 11th, 1979 which is thirty years ago tomorrow! I want to say that all in all our road has been pretty fairly straight with only a few “bumps” along the way! We put God first many years ago and He remains there today and He’s been faithful to guide, protect and bless us abundantly. We have two amazing children who live way too far away! (perhaps you’ve heard me mention that from time to time?)
Mark and I met at A&M Church of Christ in College Station, TX. He was in graduate school at A&M and I was working as a nurse in Labor and Delivery in Bryan, TX. (Yes, I’ve had more than one career) Some of you may have seen our “story of how we met” back in February when the local newspaper featured us in an article with other couples. So, I won’t repeat that now. Let’s just say, it was “divine” intervention!
I thought you might enjoy looking back with me and Mark at our special day thirty years ago! (Where was digital photography when we needed it!)
I was raised by my grandparents and this first picture is one of my favorites.
This was a group of singers/friends who traveled from College Station to Graham to sing at our wedding! (one was even a former boyfriend!)
Our wedding party. Surely the photographer took more than one pic of our wedding party! But, I guess for the flower girl, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
Our family
Who are these kids? Well, surely Mark hasn’t changed as much as I have, but he didn’t produce two 10 lb. babies!
Thanks for letting me get personal today! Stay tuned as I get back to business!
Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary to the sweetest couple. Can you believe that I have known you and Mark going on 24 years!
Congratulations to you on your anniversary and to your business!
Debbie, I love these pictures! I think that I went to ACU with some of the people in the group that sang for your wedding…are two of them Desiree and her brother? Other faces looked familiar also but couldn’t recall names. So funny how close we came to knowing each other way back then. I started at ACU in the fall of 1979. You are even more beautiful now than then….and you were a very beautiful bride.
Hey, I have one more question…is that Julie Jameson as one of your bridesmaids? I lived with Connie our junior year at ACU.
