Will you be mine?

Valentines day is one of my most favorite holidays ever! Yes it is super ridiculously cheesy, yes people say it's just a day for stores to up their sales in chocolates, flowers and oversized stuffed animals. But I love it all! well except for the oversized stuffed animals. I was thrilled to find out that I didn't have to go into work today, I spent the day purchasing chocolates, sparkling cider, organizing our home and get everything ready for a romantic dinner for our first married Valentines Day. 

February 2002 sophomore year in High School

Our first date was Sweethearts dance.

I was SO nervous that entire night, I actually tripped going down the stairs and had my 

"She's all that" movie moment when Ryan caught me. 

17 years old, seems so long ago!

I love that he can always make laugh

All he has to do is look at me and I become putty in his hands

Happy Valentines Day! After knowing you for 9 years I still get butterflies

being around you and feel like the luckiest girl to be called your wife

Monday again

The weekend is over and it's back to reality of working two jobs, thank heavens I only had one job to work last week so I was able to put most of my time and energy into unpacking, organizing and decorating our new home. With a few things left to do we are basically done! Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday and we had so much fun! We weren't able to go to Huntsville with my side of the family so we went to our friends Steve and Kylie to their party. Kylie and I lasted the first quarter than it was time to pull out our craft bags.

I made these little babies (thanks to this blogger) and can't wait till the white one is finished so I can put them up for the holiday.

The past week has been a bitter sweet one. My sister, her husband and two beautiful children (finally met the baby!) are in town and can't wait to spend time with them.

Ryans Aunt passed away last week, it was a shock to us all and will be attending her funeral tomorrow. It's a reminder of how short life really is and we need to live life to it's fullest. It is such a blessing to know the plan of salvation, to know that there is life after death and we will be re united with loved ones.

It has been 6 months now that we have been married, crazy how time flies by!! I swear it was just a few weeks ago is all. We have finally been able to unpack our wedding gifts and use them, purchase some items from gift cards (Thank you!!) We have slacked off and need to sit down and write our Thank You notes to everyone.
