Six Month Anniversary

Happy six month anniversary to Jameson and I! We celebrated the day by attending a wedding of two of my best friends. It was such a special day and a great reminder of the vows we made to one another back in June.
Since our wedding was pre-blog days I thought I would share some of my favorite wedding pictures now. Better late than never, right?

 

My Best Friend's Wedding

Dear Melissa,
Soon you will be marrying your very best friend and I could not be more thankful to have had a front row seat to your love story over the past 7 years. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for all the laughter and joy you brought into my life. Thank you for being my roommate and not getting mad at me when I was loud in the mornings. Or when I left all my dirty dishes in the sink. Thank you for listening while I sat in your pink fuzzy chair and talked about life. Thank you for challenging me to be a better daughter of Christ, to be a better friend, and to be a better spouse. You follow your dreams with such passion and drive and I know that will only continue after you become a wife. I am so proud of the woman you have grown into and can't wait to see all you will accomplish in the years to come.
So cheers to you love!
Cheers to looking better than we did in high school! :)
Cheers to Skype dates and long distance friendships!
Cheers to you becoming a wife!
Cheers to you and Matt on your wedding day!

xoxoxo,

Merry Christmas

Greetings from PA! We are celebrating our first married Christmas with Jameson's family and I look forward to eating and laughing the day away. And of course opening presents too. Merry Christmas!!

Meet Mr. Milton

I figured a good way to brighten up this Friday would be to share with you all the most handsome puppy you have ever laid eyes on. I may be slightly biased, but just humor me. Milton is a 1.5 year old chocolate lab and while he is on the smaller side for a lab he has no shortness of personality.

He is such a silly puppy and he brings so much joy and laughter into our home. I know having a dog isn't for everyone but I grew up with a dog (or two) in the house and Jameson and I knew when we started our own family a pup would definitely be included.

Milton is the perfect mixture of smart and silly. He knows the basic commands - sit, stay, lay down and speak. Jameson is also in the process of teaching him to fetch the paper for us in the mornings. He can bring the paper back, although sometimes it has been torn up a bit.  That dog loves to chew paper. He also picks up on routine very quickly...just like his mama. He knows when it's time to get up, when to eat, and when to go to his bed so he can get a treat. But perhaps the thing I love most about Mr. Milton is his cuddling ability! He loves people and when he is tired he enjoys laying right next to or on top of you. We have been known to take many naps together on the couch. Afternoon naps are great, but afternoon naps with a pup are 10x better!

 Milton is also as silly as they come. He continuously finds stray socks around the house and carries them in his mouth. He will dive his head into any laundry basket and always come out with a sock. Too bad he can't use his talents for good by helping me find the lost matches.

Milton is obsessed with squirrels and will start wining at the door when he spots one through the window. All you have to do is mention the S word and he will start going crazy. He also loves to play frisbee, although he prefers to watch it land and then bring it back to you. The whole catching it in your mouth while it is in the air thing just hasn't happened for him yet.

Thank you Milton for all the happiness you bring into our home. You are the best fur baby we could have ever asked for!! xoxo
