life: daddy, the picture taker...

I can honestly say that it's weird not having a single picture of your child without tubes and wires hooked up to him. Sometimes it's hard to look past all those medical devices and see the little person you grew inside of you.
My sweet hubby started a photography business when he got out of the Air Force in January. Since then he's taken some really good shots.
The other day he brought his camera to the NICU and took more professional (than my iPhone) shots of our little boy. They turned out so good and I can't stop looking at them.

life: labor day wedding weekend...

This past weekend my sweet hubby and I flew to Omaha, Nebraska to take part in our friends wedding. We met them through the Air Force in California and we all became great friends. They found out that Timmy is a licensed minister and they asked him to officiate the wedding. They actually got married almost two years ago, but wanted a fancy wedding for their family and friends to be a part of. It was very beautiful and they looked so happy. Here are just a few pictures from the wedding.

Congrats to you both! 

Enjoy and God Bless!

life: 10 years...

10 years. 

That went fast.

10 years ago today my hubby asked me out on our first date. I was 15 and he was 16. 

Who would've known that seven and a half years later we would be married and starting our adventure.

I love you hubbyface and can't imagine my life without you.

life: D.C. mini adventure...

Yesterday, the hubby and I decided to have a mini adventure into D.C. and it was warm HOT! I was uncomfortable all day. All day. Other than being hot, we had a really good time. We decided to go to the Mall and see some memorials and monuments and then stop in the Holocaust Museum. 

After getting of the Metro we had to walk a bit to get to the WWll Memorial, which is a beautiful fountain. Unfortunately, this is where I took most of the photos because it was the only time I was cool. 

People cooling off in the fountain. 

Panorama of the awesome memorial.

Decided to cool off as well. Great TOMS tan, huh?

We passed in front of the White House on our way to the Holocaust Museum.

We also stopped at the Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Monument, and the Vietnam Wall.

The Holocaust Museum was amazing and heartbreaking. I enjoy learning about different events in history, but this one is by far the most horrific. With all that said it is a must see if you are ever in D.C.

A few weeks ago, when my sister-in-law was here, we saw a ton of things and I never posted pictures. You can see most of them on my instagram page!

Oh, and do you LOVE my new picture watermark? The glitter is my FAVORITE!

Have a great rest of the weekend! Hoping to post tons of jewelry pieces this week so keep a look out!

AND don't forget about the Christmas in July Sale going on in my etsy shop until July 31st!

Oh, and be on the lookout for my first GIVEAWAY this week!!

Life: Now that the hubby is home...

As you know my sweet hubby surprised me by coming home two weeks early. He got me good. It's been a week and a half now and we have done SO much in that short time it's friggen amazing. I have yet to be bored. 

1. Right after he surprised me we went to see our sweet friends in The Little Mermaid. It was adorable and they were both so good! 

2. Hubby took me to buy a computer. Love that man!

3. I've been sick and still am. Ugh!

4. CSTs started last week and ended TODAY! Praise Jesus!

5. Hubby and I have been walking. A lot. Thankfully the walk is beautiful. 

6. Tried the margarita at Chipotle and it was yummy. I suggest you go out and get one. NOW!

7. This happened...

8. Then THIS happened.

I think we like it. Ha!

We've been quite busy. Jeepers. Sorry to overload you with pictures. More writing next time.

Life: This totally happened today...

First off, I can't believe how long it's been since I last blogged. I went back to blogger after using wordpress for a year or so. Wordpress was fun, but I really missed blogger and all the customization. Best decision I ever made. I just love how my blog looks now. 

So, today was quite a day.

1. I am sick. Not just "suck it up Charlotte, you'll get through this without any meds" sick. No, I've got a cold that is kicking my ass. I haven't felt this sick in years. It started after school yesterday and has just been getting worse and worse. I was in bed early and didn't want to get up this morning. But, I had to...I'm a busy lady, you know. 

2. My sweet hubby has been in Texas for training since November. I saw him over Christmas when we both went home. But other than that we have been apart. Thank the Lord for FaceTime and modern technology. He was going to be done and back home with me in two weeks, but he surprised me today and arrived early! He arranged for me to be at a restaurant for a "meeting" with someone today, but little did I know he was actually the person I was meeting. He arrived in his ABUs and had a waiter videotape it. I was so excited and surprised! He was so sneaky. I had been talking to him for the past few hours having no clue that he was actually in between flights. I love him more than life and this entire day has been just wonderful. He is such a sweet man.

3. Now that hubby is home we went out-and-about. We have been talking about buying me a laptop since I want to be able to blog/create/work from anywhere. I have an awesome desktop that I just adore, but I wanted more accessibility. So...my sweet hubby took me to the apple store and bought me a 13 inch MacBook Pro for my 25th birthday. I know my birthday isn't for another month, but hubby was trying to be ubber sweet and it worked. 

4. I finally took some dayquil and am feeling much better.

The end and God Bless.
