Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

My 2 valentine's <3 p="">

I got Ashlyn some new pink sunglasses. The little sock monkey is from one of my students. They know she loves her pink sock monkey. Wasn't that sweet? Her Daddy has a surprise for her later.

My girl last year on Valentine's (picture from Timehop). So cute!

Happy Birthday Dustin!

Today is Dustin's 30th birthday!

It seems surreal that we are both 30 but it's much better than I ever imagined. Life is really good right now. We both agree that 30 is just the start of many more great years!

Happy birthday Dustin! Ashlyn and I adore you!

Tonight we are celebrating with a cookout at the house with our parents and friends. 

3 Years

Dustin and I have been married 3 years!

Father's Day

We celebrated Dustin's first Father's Day! He loves his little girl fiercely and he is such a good Daddy! Ashlyn adores him!

I let them spend the day together while I went out to hang out with my Dad for the afternoon! 

Flowerbed Surprise

Dustin didn't get to come with us to the cabin over Memorial Weekend because of work. However, he worked his tail off redoing all our flowerbeds and our pond to surprise me. I've been trying to find time to get out there and update our flowerbeds so I am super grateful for this nice little surprise!

9 years

Nine years ago today, Dustin and I went out on our first date. 

I remember it like it was yesterday and I still know exactly what we both were wearing. 

I can't believe it's been 9 years! 

It just doesn't seem like it's been that long. 

I told Dustin earlier that we've been together 1/3 of our lives. 

Sounds crazy to think of it that way!

House Projects

I need to brag on Dustin for a minute. 

I've already talked about how Dustin gave the outside of our house a makeover. It looks amazing and one of these days I'll get around to showing before and after pics.

But anyway...

After finishing the house, Dustin decided that we needed a shed in the backyard to keep our garage and yard from being cluttered. In order to get the size that he wanted, he had to build the shed himself. He calls it shed, I call it garage. It's the size of a 2 car garage but everything plus more can fit easily in there. I have been so impressed with his work!

 There are latches on both sets of doors and there is gravel flooring now also. I didn't take another picture after he did both of those things.

So, now that those two big projects are out of the way, we will be moving on to Project Nursery very soon. I've already started cleaning out the room we plan to use. We have the furniture and I have the bedding and "theme" picked out! I can't wait!

Dustin's birthday

Yesterday was Dustin 29th birthday. 

We started the day off with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. 

Then, we had some family and a few friends over to our house last night to celebrate. I really didn't do a good job taking pictures, but I managed to get a few.

 Happy birthday Dustin!

Coming Soon...

Yep, that's right! 

Dustin and I are expecting our first baby!

The pictures were taken by my sweet and wonderful photographer friend Elizabeth Wiggs. Thanks Liz!
