My Valentine.

Pardon me as I take a minute to get a little mushy on the old blog. If you know me or read regularly, you know that's not my norm...but sometimes completely necessary.

Mikey has been my Valentine for the past NINE years!! Hard to believe, huh!!?? We were wee little babies when we started dating but I wouldn't change it for the world. I fall more in love with this man day by day; he truly is my best friend, love of my life, and lifelong companion all wrapped into one. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make me smile and for that I am so ever thankful. He's seen me at my worst and at my best and loves me no matter what i do:)

We aren't big present givers...mostly it's just us telling the other what we want or we just decide to not do anything at all and put our money towards something else. I know...no fun, but that's how i like it. He did surprise me this morning with some beautiful flowers and the BEST GIFT EVER for a 9 month preggo...a gift certificate for a MASSAGE at my most favorite place ever:) I have already set up my appointment to get in one last prenatal before this precious little girl arrives. It is absolutely the BEST present I could receive right now, he knows me well.

And just because it's fun for me to look at....

Summer 2011; we knew we had a BABY on the way...but no one else did yet since we hadn't been to the doctor. NO WORRIES...beer bottle was filled with water;) Had to fake everyone out!

I am so thankful to have such a wonderful VALENTINE, but more importantly an amazing husband and soon to be father. I look forward to celebrating MANY more Valentine's with this man.

    I loveeee your love!! So sweet! My husband and I have also been together for 10 years (college sweethearts) and I gave birth to our first child, a baby girl too, in December. She came 2 1/2 months premature when I was 27 weeks along (you can follow her story at www.letterstobabymc.com if interested). She's completely healthy and home now and we couldn't be happier. Just wait until the man you are so purely in love with holds your little girl for the first time. I literally almost passed out with happiness!!

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
