I so amazed at how fast this year went by! I meant to post on the first of this month but I didn't want to until I had time to sit down and take my time. It is so hard to believe that in 16 days we will celebrate our first anniversary! Alot of people say, when referring to how long they have been married, that 2 years felt like 20. Well.....I have a hard time relating to that because 12 months feels like 12 weeks to me. I look at our wedding photos and I am in 100% disbelief that it was a year ago! Speaking of wedding photos, I never really got to finish posting them. When there's nearly 700 photos it takes alot of time that I simply did not have the past few months! So for our "anniversary month" (why just celebrate it on one day only? I'm even putting out anniversary decorations! Ha! Call me crazy :), I am going to finish recapping our wedding. Then in March move on to other things that I have up my sleeve.
I have this crazy feeling this is going to be nothing short of a wonderful, BIG, and busy year! I am anxious and giddy to see where we go, what we do, what we learn this year. =)
And just because I like to add a picture to every post...this is me with my *classy* friend Hannah and her sister {childhood friends}....

And of course since this photo is so awesome ;-) Check out Sam.
Here's to ummm.....making better habits of actually posting. *clink* =)

This is what I think about when I need a laugh.

First of all, here's Stephen wrestling with my veil. I was thinking, "This is already beginning to be funny...."

Now here we are looking at each other like, are we gonna do this or what? I mean, we CAN kiss, right?!?! {what's even funnier is right after this picture was taken, my veil fell back over my face)

Okay so now we're laughing. {love this!}

Can't handle it anymore! Baby I'll just have to kiss you later... lol

Something was funny...

What's funny about this one, is Stephen's just standing there like, okay, she's fell off her rocker.


Now we're standing there laughing trying to figure out, WHO BLEW THE BULLHORN?!?!?!?!?
'til next time....... =)
Linky Love: Sam, you rock for getting these shots.

Latest project!
Just made this! I grabbed some fabric from Joann (30% off!), 3 boxes of upholstery tacks, and a framed cork board, which you can get anywhere.
BIG THANKS to Lynn from 2 Excited Nests for this idea!!!! So creative!
First I ironed the fabric. Very important =)
Plain, ugly cork board.
Laid the fabric over the board. Make sure you work on a flat, steady surface, and that the fabric is lined up just like you want it.
It's a little tricky getting the tacks just right...
I placed the tacks an inch apart.
After I finished the tacks, I turned the board over to notice a bunch of tacks poking out! Ooops... So I pulled the fabric over {and doubled it} and then stapled it to the back of the cork. I allowed 4" all around, it was just enough to double, then cover the spikes.

The corners were thick so I folded them carefully and used a tack to secure them.
All done!!!! =)
Sorry for the delay in posting the giveaway, it will be Friday or Saturday probably!!! Keep checking back.
Thanks for reading and following!!
