One sleep!!

.... And then we are FINALLY in our new house!! 


I wasn't excited about having to pick brick for this house at first{it was required upon the builder code for the neighborhood} as we are more stone and/or hardy plank siding kind of people. However, I really love it in the end! We went with a unique neutral white washed brick and changed the garage and posts to make the house look more craftsman, my fave type. We're really pleased with how it looks. Thing I'm looking forward to the most? Spending time on that big front porch!! So come visit :)

The end of our misery apt transition living is here folks and I couldn't be more excited....

"Do you know what today is? ..... it's our anniversary, anniversary"

.......Poor Blair actually woke up to me singing this to him this morning. 

Three years ago today I married my sweetiepie. I love thinking back to that wonderful day. All of our favorite people in the world in one place, just for us. So blessed! Even though it rained the second the ceremony started, it was the perfect day. I remember it like it was yesterday! We've moved three times, built two homes & have endured a lot of changes in our first quick three years as a married duo but there's no one I'd rather share those adventures with than B.

Quick walk down memory lane, because I'm still as obsessed with our wedding pictures as I was the first time I laid eyes on them. Hands down the #1 thing (in my opinion) to spend money on for your Big Day. It may have been drizzling and grey outside, but for B and I, it was warm and sunny!! I love you Puff-- here's to 100 more years!

We came, We saw, We Easter'd

What an awesome Easter weekend it was! We had alot of windshield time starting with our day trip Saturday to Lexington, KY { Keeneland } to see some horse racing. I love going back to Lexington, where I grew up, it's always a blast. My sister organized the trip and we joined her and her friends Nicole and Naz for a fun couples extravaganza. My husband is obsessed with horse racing & came quite organized with his paperwork of who he's betting on and an organized spreadsheet of each horses racing odds, etc. It was pretty hilarious and all worth it when we left up $150! Not a lot of money, but I also held his allowance {we are closing on a house in a week ya'll} but I'll take it! We decided to dress the part this time & had such a great time during a beautiful sunny and 75 Spring day!!


Our sweet Atticus turned 7 as well on Saturday, so we came home to love on him. I can't believe this big ol' sweetie is 7. Every year our furbabies get older I get a bit sad and more dreadful of the "Rainbow Bridge" that we never know when they'll cross over. I can't imagine our lives without their love. We brought him a burger & gave him a nice long brush  outside{his favorite} to cele! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATTY MONSTER!! WE LOVE YOU YOU BIG OL LUG OF LOVE!




Saturday we drove to Shelby, to the church I grew up at to hear my Dad, Papaw and others preach and watch a beautiful baptism. The weather was beautiful again and the service was wonderful. We cooked out at my grandparents house with cousins and family to follow who we don't get to see as often as we'd like to; all in all it was a wonderful Easter weekend. I mean seriously, how cute are my grandparents? Their marriage motto: never stop having fun with each other. Clearly it's working after 60 years together. They got married when Mamaw was 17.



We are so very grateful for our God who died on the cross for the sake of our lives. Sharing this day with our family which have all been blessed by Him is so humbling. I think often how lucky I am that I was placed into this family of mine. I hope you also had a blessed, beautiful Easter weekend!

Weekend Recap!

Am I already recapping the weekend again? Slow. down. time!!! Actually don't slow down because we FINALLY close on our house in only 15 days. But who's counting? {updated pics coming soon}

This past weekend was all about Isaac (and when isn't it)!!? I may be biased but I think he is just the cutest, sweetest thing. I love when he wraps his arms around my neck and plants a big juicy one on me. I love to love on my little nephew man. And with a face like this? I meannnn..... 

clearly excited when I told him we were hunting more Easter Eggs after church


Church weekend was near our house this weekend so my sister and her husband and my Dad spent the weekend our way. We went to a local high school in our hometown for a little Easter Egg Hunting and again on Sunday after church. He was obsessed with the Firetruck but not so much the Easterbunny. I don't blame him....college mascots would scare me let alone this bunny.

Help!

Coolest lil fireman around.

Isaac and Momma!



I may or may not buy this Easter Jacket of Isaac's from Von Maur for B for Derby weekend next weekend. It's too freaking cute. I think B could totally pull it off, no? ;)


Reese's for Auntie!

Weekends at the park and hanging with Isaac refuel me and fill me with so much love!!



Hope you all had a fantastic weekend also filled with love.

Birthday Weekend (s) recap!

My birthday weekend was awesome. Got to spend time with family & friends dining out my favorite restaurant here {Salar} and felt very loved to hear from those near and far who couldn't be there in person to celebrate. Extra bonus; my husband surprised me with a gorge emerald and diamond ring! Green is my fave color, making the emerald my favorite gem. Very special surprise. Some pics from Dad & my birthday weekend:

Amazing sugar free/gluten free cake my sis got for us. And it was actually GOOD! Really good!

Pops and I

the man has good taste! Beautiful surprise.

A little after dinner fun. 12a on the dot!

Sunday, on my actual birthday, I met my gf Erin for a beautiful hike with Casanova. It was just what my over served (woopsie) self needed!



My buddy; Casanova

blessed!

The hubs bday is the weekend after mine, and every year we end up catching a big basketball tourney out if state. This year we were able to make The Final Four. I will say it wouldn't be my first choice during "off season", but I really had a nice time. I was able to join him in some of the coaches conferences he attended & also was a part of a coaches wives brunch hosted by Athletes in Action. It was a breath of fresh air to have open forum with other wives who have been sharing this coaching/basketball industry with their families for many more years than I. We met up with my Austin bestie & her family to catch the Dallas Aquarium and a local park. My sweet Brayden is growing like a weed and is so incredibly kind. He has an old soul like his Auntie :)  

Andrea & Braydon <3

This cutie pie!

the whole fam dam


We then met up with Ohio friends for the game & explored Dallas! I think it's safe to say B had a nice birthday as well.

O.H.I.O Baby!

Unfortunately I got food poisoning {hell on Earth} from wings at a sports bar our last night in Dallas which made for a TERRIBLE trip home. My worst fear is puking on an airplane (odd I know) and by the grace of God, on a flight where we were not permitted to get up due to the roller coaster ride in air, I made it. Very grateful to that. Upon arriving home, I slept for 15 straight hours! Meh. Hey, at least my body got a good cleanse after treating it with copious amounts of birthday fun, right? ;)

31 and 35 for B and I were a success!!! Glad to be 365 days or less until the next birthday ;)
