Our Anniversary Staycation

Last week Timmy and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary and decided to have a staycation. We had tossed around the idea of going back to Florida where we got  engaged or traveling to Asheville for a long weekend, but we ultimately decided to have a staycation in Raleigh.

{ Married Life } Why I'm Grateful

Next Monday Timmy and I will have been married for 1 year and I love him more than I ever thought was possible. We have grown as a couple and individually more in this first year of marriage than we did the 4 years we dated. Thinking back to our  Wedding day always brings such a big smile to my face - it was the Best Day Ever. Over the past year I have been jotting down little things he does that I don't always thank him for, things he does without expecting a thank you for. He has been a wonderful husband and I can't wait to spend many more anniversaries with him!

Some of the Best Decisions I've Ever Made

Awhile back I was doing my daily blog reading and saw that Chelsea wrote about some of her  best decisions she had ever made and I thought it was such a neat post! I agree with Chelsea, it can be very hard to get caught up in the negative things about yourself or your life, but we have to choose to be positive and focus on the good things in our lives. We can't dwell on past decisions that may not have been the best decisions we have made, but without them our lives could have ended up differently. All of our decisions shape who we are, good or bad. We have to learn to accept them and focus on the good decisions we made along the way.

{ Married Life } January 2016 Dates

Valentine's Day is this weekend, so I thought it would be fitting to recap our January Dates! Timothy and I are very social people. We are hardly ever not with some of our friends on the weekends, so making sure we have time for some one on one time is very important to us. We love spending nights with our friends making memories we will never forget but since we are a newly married couple we also make time to set aside for just us two. With 2016 just beginning we wanted to make sure to not get too busy and make it a priority to also spend some time alone.

Sneak Peek!

Happy Wednesday!!! Today I have been officially married for 4 days and I love married life so far!! Today we are off to Williamsburg to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family and then Sunday we are off to our wonderful Honeymoon in Mexico for an entire week! But until the wedding posts start I wanted to give you all a little sneak peek of our wedding!! It was the most magical night of our lives and we couldn't have been blessed with a more perfect night to start the rest of our lives together!
