I suppose that’s enough pictures for now!

Today, I have nothing to do. That makes me so happy. It’s snowing super hard in Pittsburgh right now and my little sister is really sick. I plan on hanging out with her and my brother all day and then heading into church tonight. Sounds like a perfect day to me!

What are you up to today?

Lovey Dovey

Jimmy and I have been dating for four years now. I can hardly believe that I started dating him when I was a junior in high school and now I’m a junior in college. He started dating me when he was 18 and now he’s 22. It’s crazy how fast time flies… when you’re having fun ;).

We’ve been through a lot together. We’ve changed and grown. We’ve also had so much fun these past four years.

I don’t know if I ever mentioned it, but we met at church! I was new to our church and after a while (we were both super shy), we would talk after Bible classes. We eventually exchanged phone numbers, hung out a few times, and started dating soon after. The rest is history. He’s my big buddy and I love being with him.

We live almost an hour away from each other, so we usually only hang out on the weekends. We try to really enjoy the few hours/days that we do get to hang out. Jimmy is seriously the most patient and kind person I know. I feel so blessed.

You know why else Jimmy is awesome?

HE BAKED ME PUMPKIN MUFFINS FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY.He’s never baked before and he used The Pioneer Woman’s recipe! I’m in loooove.

Happy anniversary to us 🙂
