2 years ago today...

i met a boy on the beach and my life has never been the same. the past two years have been a roller coaster (in only the best way). we dated for 8 months, engaged for 5, married for 11 and will have a baby girl in 2 1/2. i wouldn't change a thing about the journey we have been on, and i can't wait to see where else life takes us. 

here's to many more years and adventures. husband, i love you to the moon + back.

husband's first father's day.

precious decorated root beer bottles my sister-in-law made for all the dads

 gift for wade's dad complete with an old photo from the early 80s

the dad to be and i.

husband's gift and list i made him of the reasons i think he will be a great dad.

this year we got to celebrate husband's first father's day. even though our baby girl has not yet arrived, her daddy loves her so much already and deserved to be celebrated. we went over to wade's parents house for lunch then we spent the rest of the day relaxing at the house and watching knocked up. i made wade a basket of goodies, and typed up some of the reasons i think he is going to make an amazing father. 14 more weeks until i get to see him in action! 

i, unfortunately, did not get to see my dad this father's day. we had considered trying to make it down to the beach, but it was too crazy of weekend for everyone. luckily, i will be seeing him next weekend when we drive to texas for my shower. 

another great beach weekend.

on wednesday i headed down to the beach for memorial with these two love bugs. my mom was in town and decided to ride with us instead of flying home then driving herself to the beach from texas. we got there late that night, but it was so worth it waking up at the beach thursday morning. my dad, brother + some of our family friends flew in that night. we all had an amazing weekend filled with lots of beach time, great food, dog walking + bike riding. more pictures + details for the weekend to come soon!

sweet husband of mine.

almost 8 months ago today (minus a few days), i married the man of my dreams. as cliche as that sounds it's true. by some crazy chance i met the most amazing guy on the beach in FL two years ago this summer, and a year ago he asked me to marry him at the exact place we met. we decided that are only choice was to get married there as well. after all, it was where it all began. he is my very best friend, and i feel so blessed that God placed him in my life. i know we met not by coincidence, but by God's perfect timing. 

i love doing life with you. xoxo

... more wedding stuff to come.
