1 Year Anniversary

On Sunday, January 24, 2010 my husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. It's hard to believe that a year has passed since we said "I will" (yes, that's what we said). Milestones like this really make me think back to the past year and realize how much has happened. As if the wedding wasn't big enough, we were expecting a beautiful baby girl in June. So, for the most part, we skipped the honeymoon stage and went straight for the next step - finding a bigger place to call home.

We knew where we wanted to go, it was just a matter of making it reality. See it's always been my husband's dream to live in his dad's house, which at that time was being rented out. After so much drama (shall I call it) those tenants moved out and it was ours. But, before we could move in, we needed to see what needed to be done to get it baby ready. Well, after the first walk through, we found that there was so much to do in a month before the baby was due and honestly I wasn't sure it was going to happen.

But after the hard work of not only my husband, but his Aunt Kay and his Uncle Kenny it happened. We ended up moving the weekend after our baby was born.

It's been such a crazy year for the two of us. Needless to say, after all that has happened, we are stronger than ever. The man that I married is really an amazing guy and one of a kind. He has always said that "The princess gets what the princess wants" - and that princess is me.

So, here's to us - a few of my favorite pictures from our wedding day - January 24, 2009.

And here's what happened next..........

7 Months Ago

So, today is my daughter's 7 month birthday. This morning when I was up with her at 4:00 (because she's teething) I couldn't help but think about what happened 7 months ago today at that time -- I was getting ready to wake my husband up to tell him it was time to go and my contractions were 3 minutes apart. He thinks I'm crazy because every month on the 15th I think about it. But I can't help it.

I take pictures of my daughter on the 15th of every month to watch how she grows and to put it in her baby book. So I would like to share my favorite picture of my daughter from this morning.

The Beginning

So I've decided to start this blog to share random thoughts and pictures with family, friends and any followers. I am not saying I will post every day but as something occurs or something happens that I want to share I will definitely put it up here for all to see.

I'm sure you will see a lot of my little darling as she is developing a personality all her own. She will be 7 months old tomorrow and it's so hard to believe. With that said, I've added two pictures below.

Over the weekend, after I got her dressed for the day, she decided she wanted to play peek-a-boo through her crib and these pictures just make me laugh every time I see them.

I hope they bring joy to you as well.
