*NINE*

Sometimes it feels like we’ve been married for 20+ years (we did Start dating at the age of 19) but sometimes it feels like our wedding wasn’t all that long ago. It’s hard to fathom how much life has been lived, changed, and evolved over 9 years.  We would both say without a doubt, that the past couple years have been harder than the first several (add in 3 kids in 2.5 years plus the normal stresses of every day life)but that’s what marriage is, right?! Hard work? It’s something that you have to continue to work at, communicate about - all the while trying to raise three beautiful young people to be decent humans, maintain a work life balanace, climb the career ladder- you name it. There are literally nights where we both climb into bed after wrangling kids and chores and are flat out EXHAUSTED- the most we may say is “ Netflix?” But, there are also nights where we do make time for each other and plan special nights out or just a “porch date” to reconnect. Mikey can still make me laugh harder than anyone I know - he also drives me nuts sometimes - but without a doubt, he is my person and I couldn’t be more thankful that I get to live this beautiful, chaotic, hectic, amazing life with him. So grateful for a loving man who supports me, keeps me level, loves me, and appreciates me (most of the time ;-) ). I love you always and happy anniversary to my guy. 

We snuck away for a two night getaway to Amelia Island Sunday- Tuesday and it was perfect. We relaxed, reconnected, and recharged. It was so nice to have some quality time with my husband of NINE years 😊

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...
