Two Years Of Happiness

Two years ago today...

I was going out to get a massage with my mom and sister.

I was going to lunch with my bridesmaids.

I was getting my hair and makeup done.

I was writing a letter to my husband to be...

... and reading his letter to me.

I was getting ready to walk down the aisle...

...toward my best friend.

And have some amazing women stand next to me as I said my I do's.

And celebrate the beginning of the rest of my life with the man I love with my family and friends.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Here's what I'm loving on this gorgeous day!

I'm loving that over the weekend I got to go see my beautiful cousin get married!

It was so much fun, and I got to dance with Chris and my dad :)

I'm loving my new wedges!

I may be slightly addicted to awesome shoes...

I'm loving that I made the President's List for last semester!

Sometimes you do all the work, but it doesn't pay off.

I'm just glad it did this time!

I'm loving that my mom and sister came to visit last week.

I got to spend all week with my mom and part of the week with my sister.

It was much needed girl time!

And last, but not least, I'm loving my baby boys!

They have been extra cuddly lately :)

What are you loving this week?

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

To My Mom

You raised me.

You watched me grow.

You taught me right from wrong.

I made mistakes, but you loved me anyway.

In my life,

I have met so many people who's moms gave up on them.

But you never gave up on me

even though I didn't always make it easy.

You did without so that I could have.

You inspired me.

You believed in me.

You stood by me.

You loved me.

You are more than just my mom.
You are my best friend.

All that I am is because of the example you set for me.

And I hope that the person I become is more and more like you every day.

I love you!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Here's what I'm loving on this beautiful day!

I'm loving that I'm officially done with this semester!

I have gotten A's in three classes so far (INCLUDING CHEMISTRY!!) and fully expect A's in the other two.

If so, this will be my first 4.0 of my college career :)

I'm loving that Pinto Bean and I are off to visit my family for a few days!

I plan to spend a good bit of this visit relaxing on the beach before summer semester begins.

I'm loving this pet bed I am making!

I'm not sure who will sleep in it since all my babies are so spoiled that they sleep in the bed or on the couch, but it has been a fun project.

It looks exactly like the white one with the black paws,

except the one I'm making is white with black paws :)

I'm loving this little splurge I made for all my hard work from Craft Couture.

I can't wait for it to get here!

She makes the cutest things!

I already have these two headbands from her shop that I love.

Here are some more favs I'm loving from her shop!

She does comment games on her Facebook page and gives great deals on her items :)

And last, but certainly not least,

I'm loving my sweet husband.

Even through the difficult time we're going through right now,

at least we still have each other!

What are you loving today?

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday y'all!

I'm loving that I'm officially done with classes for this semester!

Next week this time, I'll be done with exams and have a little break before summer classes begin.

I'm loving all my hard work in Biology paid off this semester!

I got a 149.63/150 on my 10 page paper summarizing my research, and I got to present my project :)

I'm loving these coffee/tea cozies I made!

I'll have to post a tutorial soon!

I'm loving that I get to go to Charleston to visit my family soon!

I'm loving that I've talked Chris into starting P90X with me!

I needed a workout buddy :)

Easter Weekend Recap

Happy Monday y'all!

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!

I know I did :)

{Thursday}

On Thursday night Chris and I dyed Easter eggs!

We had so much fun.

I love having the eggs around this time of year because I love to make egg salad.

I will admit that I normally soak a few that are cracked in the blue or green dye for a long time so that I can have egg salad that has colors in it ;)

I don't know why I like doing that, but I do!

Chris always has to take one egg and make sure it goes through all 12 of the dye colors.

He calls it the speckled egg!!

{Friday}

On Friday Chris and I drove down to Charleston.

My home church puts on a play every year at Easter called the Passion Play.
This year was the 25th annual Passion Play and the last year they will be doing the play.
I really wanted to see it for the last year so Friday night Chris, my sister, and I went to see it.

(That soldier to the right there is my dad!)

We had a really good time!
The performance is always really good.

{Saturday}


On Saturday my sister and I woke up and dyed more Easter eggs.

Then my dad sent my mom, my sister, and I out shopping for Easter dresses!
Since Chris lost his job I didn't really expect to get a dress this year so I was really excited!
I ended up getting the very first dress I tried on at Dress Barn.
Have you ever shopped there?
They have a huge selection for a really great price.
My dress was a third of the price I would have paid for it somewhere else.

This is the dress I ended up getting:

We ate at Moe's for lunch, and Saturday night we had pizza for dinner and watched The Ten Commandments on television.
The Ten Commandments is an Easter tradition for my family!

{Sunday}


On Sunday we went to Easter service, and then came home to a big lunch prepared by my mom.
My neighbors who I consider my grandparents came, and my aunt and uncle were also there.
It was a great day with family!

We took lots of pictures with everyone dressed up.
Allie was in her Easter dress and Pinto Bean, D'Artagnan, and Thomas were all in their bow ties :)

It just so happened that D'Artagnan's bow tie matched Chris, and Pinto Bean's bow tie matched me!

The cupcakes and cake my mom made!

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend as well and that everyone's week is off to a great start!
