when i find you, i'll find me

waiting for mitch, & being apart from him was the hardest thing that i've ever had to do. music was my vice, it was what helped me get through. there was a point where i honestly thought that it was me and my music against the world.

i love blowing the dust off of my old ipod, and listening to the music that got me through this difficult time in my life. except for now, its me and mitch against the world and well you could say that this is now our background music. 

i stumbled across this song earlier, and couldn't help but smile, it warms my heart not to mention that it's just absolutely beautiful. 

thanks for listening, & you're welcome for sharing.

i still can't believe

-- that we (FINALLY) got married.

-- that we became southerners & lived in the heart of New Orleans

-- that we traveled through 10 states in a matter of seven months.

-- that we met and shook the hand of David A. Bednar

-- that we went to Disneyworld

-- that we came out swinging on December 21, only to find that it didn't live up to the hype. 

-- that we hotel hopped, and lived out of our suitcases for three weeks.

-- that we have an addition to the family, Mya our sweet pup.

-- that we met Jonah Hill

-- that we attended an NFL game at the superdome.

-- that we have our own place.

-- that we watched the fourth of july fireworks over the Mississippi River.

-- that we both got pedicures, yes including Mitch. 

-- that we ate fresh seafood.

-- that we walked bourbon street, and still managed to make it out alive. 

-- that we drove a full 30 hours on little to no sleep. 

-- that we were blessed with a new family member, our newest nephew Kru.

-- that we (I) went to the beach for the very first time. 

-- that we went through the Orlando Temple.

& SO much more.

this last year has been absolutely incredible to us, and i know that this next year is going to be just as good if not better. Its the memories, and people that make life worth while, and I can't even begin to explain how grateful and lucky I am to have the people that i do.

father + son bonding

if there is anything that you need to know about me, it's that i'm a daddy's girl. i've always had an extremely close relationship with my father. he's my bestfriend, and my number one fan. he's constantly doing everything that he possibly can for our family, and he always does it with a smile on his face. he's my biggest hero! i'm so lucky to have such an amazing father. so with that being said, i'm sure it doesn't come as much of a surprise when i tell you that: 

there is nothing in the world that puts a bigger smile on my face than when my father and husband bond.

these two have always had a good relationship, but it's when i leave the room and come back to find them laughing, sharing stories, or simply just enjoying each others company that really gets to me. it makes me cherish these moments, and really feel lucky. 

right now is one of those moments, as i sit here and type my father and husband are trash talking over a game of NCAA now that may not be ideal for some woman, but i love it. i truly love it.
