Catching Up

I can't believe that I haven't posted since March, but quite frankly sometimes I feel like I don't have much to say that would be exciting. Since I last posted I finished subbing and have spent the summer at home bored out of my mind honestly. Brian has been working hard and I'm so thankful for how hard he works for us. He recently moved to the office he originally started out at in Humble.

Last week I went to Aaron's 4th of July parade at school and it was SO cute! It was raining but we didn't let that rain on our parade and truly had a parade! Here's a cute picture of him riding his bike in the parade.





I truly can't believe that in just a few short months my favorite nephew will be 3!! There are times when I look at him and say holy cow when did he turn into such a person instead of a baby!! The stuff he says will keep you laughing forever!! Aaron I love you and can't imagine a better job than being your aunt!!




This is truly how I feel at this very point in my life!! I am still looking for a teaching job, but I have faith and am trusting God that He has the perfect job out there for me. I'm not good at waiting so waiting for my dream job is hard! Hey anyone that was born 3 months early was not meant to be good at waiting in life is what I always say.

We are leaving today to go to Brian's parent's house because Brian will be turning 27 on Sunday!! I will post about his birthday when we get back. Have a great and safe weekend everyone!

A Whole Year Already?!

On Sunday (March 7th) Brian and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary and I can honestly say that the last year of our lives has flown by!! We celebrated all weekend...Saturday we went to a movie and out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory and then on Sunday we grilled steaks and corn on the cob for dinner. It was a perfect anniversary weekend!! A few weeks ago Brian got 2 new suits for work so that was his anniversary present (who knew suits were so expensive!) and he got me a diamond heart shaped necklace & yes he went to Jared's!

Everyone told me to enjoy every minute of our wedding day, because it would fly by and then later it would seem like a whirlwind and it definitely has. It's crazy to think that this time last year we were on our honeymoon in Disney World & how I've wanted to go back every month since!

Again thank you to our parent's and awesome friends & family that made our day so special! Also who can forget the crazy adventure that my brother sent us on the night before the wedding! Kim and I are going to have to think of a way to pay him back at his wedding! HaHa!

To my wonderful husband: Thank you for making this last year the best year of my life! We don't always see eye to eye on everything but at the end of the day we love each other and would do anything for one another and that's all that matters. I can't wait to look back on our 2 year anniversary and see what our lives have been like over the last year and for many more years to come! I love you with all my heart!

One of my favorite wedding pics.

My bubba never smiles in pictures but this picture right here let me know that all he'd been through and had to go back and face was worth ever bit of it!

Look how cute & little he is...oh yeah and at my pretty sister too! :)

Such a big boy! He can do everything by himself these days!
