Our 10th Wedding Anniversary!

Somehow, Jimmy and I have been married for ten years?! How! It truly doesn’t feel like ten years has gone by since we tied the knot. What’s even more wild is that we started dating in 2008, so that would mean we’ve been together 16 years. I just turned 32-years-old, so we’ve been together half of my life!

He’s definitely my person and also one of the best people I know, period. I have definitely been blessed by the Lord with such an amazing man 🩵

Husband and wife on Jeannette's Pier

We went on our honeymoon (and babymoon for Sadie!) to the Outer Banks, so it was a very full-circle moment to be back at the Outer Banks on our ten year anniversary. It also happened to be my birthday (yep, we got married on my birthday!). (more…)

Fall Decorating

What do you do on a Saturday during Labor Day weekend when your husband goes mountain biking for the day?

Decorate your house for fall! Even if it’s close to 90°F and fall isn’t technically until the end of September ;). I found myself with a free Saturday afternoon(!), so I decided to get in the fall spirit by pulling out last year’s decorations and making a quick trip to the craft store for a few new ones.

I found some birch vases at the store, so I bought one and filled it with some fake flowers to make my own little floral arrangement, somewhat similar to the wreath project my mom and I did a few years back!

I also picked up some wooden decorations to paint, which was fun. I don’t like how the leaf turned out because I think I used too many colors, but I do like the turkey! Jimmy was home at that point and saw my camera laying on the table so he decided to take a picture of me in my happy zone.

I tried to adorn more rooms this year to spread the festivity around the whole house instead of just our living room. Our house is pretty small, but I still feel like I could add more ;). I guess I just like crafting and decorating! I’m glad I decorated earlier this year (versus late October last year, ha), so I can actually enjoy all of the decorations before the season ends!

Do you decorate for the seasons? How far in advance do you start?
