The Nelson's: My Gator Girl

Look how cute our little "Gator Girl" is!! We went to the "Manatee Festival" today and had a great time. There was a vendor there that makes pillow case dresses and they are adorable! I found this Gator dress and it came with bloomers and the hairbows to match. Love it!! GOOOOO GATORSSSSSSS!!!!!!

A Little Bit About The Nelson's

On June 12th, 1999, Tim and I met on LDS Matchmaker online. Two days later, we spoke on the phone for the first time. After spending a couple weeks talking on the phone and online, I decided I had to meet this guy! So in August, I bought a plane ticket and flew from Florida to Las Vegas to meet Tim. When I got off the plane, I was pleasantly surprised to see this super cute tall guy that I couldn't live my life without! I stayed in Vegas for 10 days and while I was there, we talked about getting married. When I came home, my mom and I started planning the wedding! In October, Tim flew to Florida to meet my family. While Tim was here, he proposed to me and I was so happy and excited! I couldn't keep my hot lips off him!! Then at the end of November, I flew back to Vegas with my wedding dress in tow and spent Thanksgiving with my soon to be husband. While there (only the 3rd time we'd seen each other) we got married in the Las Vegas NV LDS Temple, on December 3, 1999. My parent's joined us for the wedding and it was a wonderful freezing cold day. We decided to live in Las Vegas for a while. On Valentine's week, I found out I was pregnant with our son, Brayden. He was born on November 3, 2000 (1 month early). Then in March 2001, I couldn't stand being that far away from my family anymore, so we moved to Columbia, SC where we lived for the next 3 1/2 years. While in Columbia, we had our baby girl, Baylee, born on July 25, 2003. After Baylee was born, we wanted to be even closer to my family, so we decided to move to Florida. We moved to Casselberry, FL 2 weeks before Hurricane Charley hit and it was Tim's first hurricane. We were terrified, especially when the tree fell on my mom & dad's house and we were house-sitting! So, we were quickly welcomed into Florida with 3 hurricanes back-to-back that summer! But, we have been back for over 4 years now and we love it here! We wouldn't trade Florida for the world!
