In late March of 1999 Brooke was watching TV (like a loser) in her dorm room while her roommate and friends were out and about. They came back to the room and told Brooke she had to meet this guy across the hall that was visiting a neighbor. Brooke obeyed and went across the hall (in her pajamas) and introduced herself to an amazingly hot guy named Bobby! :) Suddenly Brooke became more and more interested in hanging out with her roommates and friends...oh yeah and also the hot Bobby that she met that night. After about a month of hanging out, Bobby and Brooke decided that they would try to date each other and stop the whole "friend" game.
The night of that first date was 10 years ago tonight, April 23, 1999...it has been the most amazing 10 years of "dating". They have lived in Greensboro and Durham. They have changed jobs and changed cars. They have made new friends but kept many of the old. They have lost family members and celebrated the arrival of nieces and nephews. They have had fights, laughs, and memories that they will never forget. They have had 2 amazing kids! They have seen the tops of mountains and valleys that are dark and scary. They have both dedicated their lives to Jesus and have grown closer and closer to Him with each day that passes. They are one blessed couple and they are so thankful for everything that has happened to them over the past ten years, but they are most thankful for the love and bond known as "The Farrs"!

Congratulations! Y'all look so young in that first picture! Why did this make me cry? Seriously.
