Just Because

Adam brought these lovelies home one evening after work. He sure did sweep me off my feet! I love it when he surprises me like this, it shows that he's still actively pursuing my heart. I love you, Adam! You're the best husband and I'm so glad the Lord brought us together, I couldn't imagine my life without you! Thank you for everything you do and for being exactly who you are, I'm so in love with you!

Something Borrowed

I saw the previews for the movie "Something Borrowed" a few months ago and knew I had to see it. It was one of those, "Yes, I'll pay an outrageous $10 to see this in theaters!" [Where I'm from, movies don't cost near this much to go see] So when I realized it came out May 6, I figured I'd take my  mom out on Mother's Day weekend, but my dad wanted to make it a whole family outing and didn't want to see it, so needless to say I was a little more than bummed that I wouldn't see it on opening weekend.

However, God always has other plans, doesn't He? I mean the things that I think are great, never truly are in comparison to His. I know you're thinking, um how did she bring God into this? Well this is how: if I had gone to see that movie last weekend with my mother, then I would've missed out on the opportunity to hang out with a colleague of mine who never ever gets out and about. We were able to make plans to meet up in Williamsburg and watch it and then catch some dinner later. It was the BEST girls' night I've had in a while.

So I will not spoil how amazing this movie is, but I highly suggest you watch any of the trailers for this film here.I suggest #1, it's my favorite. Aaaand if you haven't read the book, check it out, too! It's by Emily Giffin. As always, it doesn't exactly follow the book, but it's pretty close with the exception of how a few characters were adapted. Anywho, I usually don't rave about movies or books like this, but they're GREAT! I must warn you that there are expletives and some material that is crude, but overall I give it two thumbs up! Check it out ladies!

Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

A year ago, as of yesterday, I married the most wonderful man I know :-) Last year this time, we were honeymooning in Hot Springs, NC in a quaint log cabin. Here we are a year later and this past weekend was interesting to say the least. We were on our way to Garth & Kristen Runion's wedding when a deer crossed onto the highway and ran into us. So the front right light on our car is gone and the hood is bent underneath itself. Needless to say this wasn't exactly what we had planned in our anniversary weekend. Despite my sour attitude, with the encouragement of our brother Luke, we continued to go on to the wedding.

At the wedding, I was able to catch up with some friends of mine from college and it changed my sour mood immediately! (Oh how I miss those wonderful friends of mine!) The wedding and reception were absolutely beautiful! Kristen was stunning and Garth was beaming! After the wedding, we drove north to Charlottesville and stayed the night there. The next day we slept in late and meandered around the city until we saw all we could on a last minute dime and then finally went home. We did not exchange gifts; although we did swap some sweet anniversary cards and Adam did find the disposable cameras from our wedding and we have taken some to get developed :-) It may not sound like the grandest anniversary weekend and it certainly wasn't if you consider the deer incident, however, despite that one minor detail, it was PERFECT and I loved nothing more than spending time with the man I love and cherish! God is always so good!
