It was 4 years ago today...

Today, Rob and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.  Time flies!  It seems like just yesterday we said, "I do."    A lot has changed in 4 years, and also, not that much has changed.  We have really grown up and have learned to be more tolerant and patient with each other.  I am really proud that we have such a strong marriage.

We met about 8 years ago, and even though it was not love at first site, it didn't take us long to realize that we were meant to be together.  It's pretty cool being married to your best friend.  Our marriage is definitely not a fairytale, but I think it's pretty close. :)


Taking a trip down memory lane...

Our engagment picture.

The picture we used on our Save the Date card.  Just causal, like us!

Trying not to look nervous.  I'd much rather be the one behind the camera!!

You may kiss the bride!

My sweet Elli decided to make herself at home for this picture. :)

 

JUST MARRIED!

for the love of flowers..

Sunday, we held a wedding shower at our church. I was in charge of decorating the tables, buying the flowers, etc. Because I bought all of the flowers, I got to bring them all home after. They were a mix of hydrangea, alstroemeria and roses. Some of my favorites! I can remember the hydrangea bush that my Granny had in her yard. They were blue. Because of her, and our wonderful memories together, hydrangeas are my absolute favorite. I miss her. 
Coincidentally that afternoon, my friend Rachel brought me a sweet bouquet she had picked from her yard. They are a mix of black eyed susan and wildflowers. The sweetest gifts are the ones that aren't bought.

Here are some pics of the flowers... they looked a little better when they were fresh, but they still make this home cheery! :)

Something New..

I decided today to start a blog.  I've been thinking about doing it for a while, but today is the day I decided to put the plan into motion!  I'm excited to share my creative ideas, home projects, and daily inspiration with people who have similar interests!  Keep checking back, as this blog comes to life!
