Friday's Letters

Dear blog allow me to reintroduce myself. I've neglected you and left you celebrating our wedding anniversary for two months. 

Dear UGA football let's pull up our bootstraps, forget about that nasty South Carolina team, and win out the rest of the season. I'd like to see you play at the Dome in December. 

Dear ATL weather you are rocking my {frye} boots right off. You are perfect for running. Stay like this forever?

Dear Pepperidge Farm Goldfish I'm not proud of the amount of you I've eaten this week.

Dear Mobile, AL I'm beyond excited to meet you in one week!! Let's drink lots of coffee together and get to know each other super quick with a weekend-long life chat.

Two Years.

Two years ago, Frank was patiently waiting for those double doors to open. 

And I was trying not to peek at him from my hiding spot.

That moment felt like yesterday.

Today, we are celebrating our second anniversary!

With each passing day, I love and learn more about my husband. As I reflect on the past year, I remember the times we've laughed and times we've cried. Days we were unkind to each other and beautiful moments of being madly in love.

I thank the Lord daily for giving me a caring and passionate leader. I can't imagine my life being any different. I have excitement and trust in the Lord for the future. 

Here's to year three!

Goodbye Summer

Summer has officially ended. While I'm sad to say goodbye to free week days and a flexible schedule, I'm excited for what Fall has to offer. I am starting a new job on Monday (more on that later!) and the idea of planning outfits and packing lunches has me giddy with excitement. NERD ALERT! 

Before we kissed summertime goodbye, we capped it off with an amazing lake weekend with the sweetest friends. The weekend was filled with jet skis and boat rides, great conversation, delicious food, and new memories :) There is nothing more affirming and satisfying than simply being around friends that love and care about you. 

And then Jill put all of our wedding rings on. 

The End :)

Summer Update!

Summer has flown by and July is coming and going way too fast! We'll be celebrating my birthday this month, our anniversary in August, and Frank's birthday in September. Goodness gracious...before we know it, it's going to be Christmas. Overreaction? Sorry.


After we wrapped up wedding celebrations in June, we experienced...ummm how do I say...a month with a BUSTED air conditioner?!?! I'll spare you my complaining...it's finally fixed! 


At the beginning of June we got a dog!

Meet Ellard:

Ellard is a "retired" CCI dog. He was released from the program at the end of May because of "fearful behavior"...which is fine with us! He turned 2 in June and is a Golden Retriever-Yellow Lab cross. His temperament is as sweet as can be, he's very calm, and a huge snuggle bug. (I know my non-dog friends are shaking their heads at me...)

For July 4th, we continued with tradition and spent the day with Lindsay & Travis. We also hung out with Lindsay's high school friend, Anna and her husband, Frank. Anna was also a matron of honor in Lindsay & Travis's wedding and I got to know her very well over the past few months. It was a fun day of sunshine, swimming, and cooking out. 

 Ellard wasn't a fan of swimming...he preferred to lounge.

That's our summer so far. I hope y'all are having a great summer too!

Mandy's Baby Shower

Last weekend we showered Mandy with lots of love & baby goodies! The shower was decorated perfectly with the sweetest touches, here and there.

I'm always so excited to see Laura and her daughter, Veda Jane -- who celebrated her 1st birthday at the end of June! I can't believe how fast this sweet girl is growing up!

A sweet giraffe blanket from Lindsay...

...a precious monogrammed lovie from Mallory!

Veda Jane was bored with all the gift opening, so she grabbed her purse...

and wore it as a necklace.

Congratulations to the mom-to-be!

I can't wait to meet Layla Claire :)

The Meyers!

Lindsay & Travis are MARRIED!!!

Last weekend, we gathered with a bunch of college friends to watch these two exchange their vows. 

The entire weekend was simply beautiful. 

Frank and I arrived in Athens on Thursday for a laid back evening of dinner and drinks. It was fun to hang out with the bride, groom and their families -- they were beaming with excitement!
