all over again

falling in love all over again
one year later


i seriously can not believe that we are officially past the 1 year mark!
i don't think i ever thought much about it 
and what it means
and what we have accomplished as a couple
we have lived together
learned (a whole lot) from each other
put up with each other (more him putting up with me)
and loved each other
more & more
every single day
some days it came naturally
and a lot of days we had to work for it
but let me tell you one thing i have learned
the days you have to work for
are the ones you will remember the most
...the come to Jesus meetings...
those days made us "us"
those days taught us what real love is
i am so incredibly blessed to be his wife
and so so so thankful that God placed him here
on this earth
to guide me and care for me

here a few (a lot) of pics from our wedding day






had to throw one with my girls in :)



....and here is a little seek peek of our weekend getaway




to my number one man
thank you babe
love always

this & that

i know, it's been forever
a combination of no internet
and being super busy

but here are a few things i've been doing

found this beauty



well it wasn't quite that pretty yet
but thank goodness for rustoleam spray paint :)


now it sits nicely next to our sofa
over our nesting tables!

 i should probably add that i bought this at the habitat store
the mr. was with me thank goodness
on our way out i spotted about
30 huge, dead spiders stuck to the bottom
i don't do spiders
that's why i have a wonderful mr.

in that same trip 
by the register they had tons
of old readers digest books
for .10 cents each!
they have beautiful covers
and wonderfully colored bindings
could not pass it up


they are currently in front of my fireplace
not to sure about them being there
but for now it's alright

remember me talking about these?

well awhile back they turned in to these!


with the help of my momma, i am in love with them!

i decided to try making my own cake stands
i've seen it done all over the blog world
and for less than a dollar you can't beat it!


this plate and that candle stick are 
currently attached :)
i haven't painted yet
but when i do i will be sure to post!

my weekend consisted of
date night


for days they said hurricane irene
would hit charleston
instead she brought us this beautiful sunset
praying intently for those who are
struggling because of her

more time with my handsome mr.

brainstorming lovely things 
for a dear friend's wedding
