Fabulous FIVE

Wondering what I mean by Fabulous FIVE?

Well...I have been married to my sweet husband for FIVE months today. Those who have been married for years and years probably laugh that I am highlighting this day in our life. However, as newlyweds we love celebrating our "monthly anniversary". At the beginning, we said we were going to go out for every month, but that's changed to pretty much saying, "Happy _ anniversary!" Not that we don't go out, but life can sometimes get in that way. BUT, Josh is such a wonderful husband, and he takes me on dates all the time. :)

FIVE things I have loved so far about being married...

1. Always having someone to come home to, eat dinner with (cook meals for), and snuggle beside when it's time to go to bed. I guess all of those things equal having someone by my side everyday.

2. Laughing all the time. Josh has always made me laugh, but since we have been married we have formed so many inside jokes. Let me tell you, we think we are funny. It's fun. I laugh until I cry all the time.

3. I love having someone to lead me. Life brings so many changes, and it is wonderful to have Josh by my side to lead us and find what it is that God wants for us. God has already done so much in our life, and I'm thankful to have a husband that wants nothing more than to live the life God has designed us to live.

4. Creating hobbies and finding new things we love has been so much fun. We found that we love walking together in the evenings. There is nothing more relaxing than going to the park and spending time together without phones or any other distractions. I love that time together.

5. I have someone to grow with, pray with, and share life experiences with. Family is similar in that way, but there is nothing like a husband, especially a Godly, Christ-filled, husband. So, I love that with marriage, you are given a life partner and given someone to share every experience, whether good or bad.

Here are FIVE pictures of us since we have been married :)

I am looking forward to our future and all that God has planned for our life!

Love y'all....HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Life Lately

My life lately...in a list!

- I love being a wife...I think I was made to be a wife and a mom. It is so much fun to come home to my husband every night, cook dinner, clean our little home, and then just relax together! We love planning stuff on our weekends, and we love walking in our local park during the week! I also love that when he needs to take something for his company picnic, I can send him to work with these...yummo!

- This past weekend was a celebration of our nephew's one year Gotcha day! Daniel has now been with his forever family for 1 year. I am so thankful to live so close to my in-laws and be apart of our nephew's lives! We hung out with them on Saturday night. We had a perfect "southern" evening. We had BBQ for dinner, and then we headed to a local Bluegrass concert in a barn. They were all little old men, and they were so good! It was definitely a new experience! 

Pardon the picture...it was dark and taken with my phone.

- Sunday was Daniel's Gotcha day so we celebrated that evening by eating his favorite foods! He wanted hotdogs and PBJ's! Ha! It was so fun to all be together for his special day. We ended the night by eating some delicious watermelon. William really loved it, and Daniel had a little I think. He really loved his hotdog and PBJ!

- I am really looking forward to this weekend! We are going to the Braves game on Friday night. We haven't been to one all season, so we are really excited to go. We are hoping it won't be too hot. They also do an awesome fireworks show on Friday nights!

Saturday we are going to see the new Harry Potter. I am not a big fan but Josh is! I don't really get into stuff like that, but I love being with my husband so I will right by his side. Saturday evening we have a wedding to go to. It is our last wedding of the summer! I love being able to know how excited the bride is! It makes me so happy, and I love reliving our special day.

-I am so ready for fall to be here! I am trying not to wish my life away...but doesn't cool weather, football, and pumpkin-spice lattes sound DIVINE??? I can't wait!

-Josh and I have decided to travel to NYC in December! We are so excited and can't wait to be there to see all of the beautiful Christmas decorations. What a great way to get in the holiday spirit! I have been to NYC one time, but I was on a church trip and wasn't able to really explore the city! We can't wait to explore together! I have already started a list of things we have to do!

I'm sure there's more to say...but I will leave you with these thoughts for now!

Enjoy!
