our new beginning...

For those who know Kyle and I, we have been going through the process of becoming homeowners and (fingers crossed) everything will be completed May 31st and we will have a house that is OURS. Ever since I got married (3 months ago) I haven't felt "married." Everyone says it changes and your relationship changes and everything about you, including your name, changes. I haven't felt any different other than calling this man I've known more than half my life my "husband." That has been an adjustment! The house we have lived in for the past few years has been our home and all that we've ever really known. We literally got engaged in this house, in our bedroom (after he made me go through a little path to find him with rose petals and notes.. but that's not the point). I'm not going to lie I am sad to leave behind this home that we have made so many memories in that I can't even list on this blog because I might get a little emotional. I know they say when you get married that you're on your own... You do away from your parents and become one and I don't have a problem with that but changes kind of freak me out (those of you who know me, know that I freak about everything anyways) but really you start to think you're leaving this house you've lived in for years to start a "new beginning" in this very large and brand new home and it's no longer "his" or "yours" ... it's YA'LLS. Who would have thought that word would have such a LARGE meaning... I don't mind sharing with my husband that's not the problem readers, the problem is I feel as if when I move out of this house that everything I've ever done or known is about to really change and I will feel MARRIED. wow. Good thing I love and even like my husband ;)

back in the day

our wedding

Happy Mother's Day :]

I believe that each special Mother out there deserves more than just one hallmark holiday, "Mother's Day," for us all to say thank you to our Moms and buy them a nice gift or take them out to eat... We should appreciate these amazing women more than just ONCE a year! I know I say "Thank You" as much as possible to my Mother and I tell her everyday I love her... I am truly blessed with an amazing, strong, supportive, loyal, caring Mother and I would not trade her for the world. She is my heart and she has been there for me more than anyone else in my life. I admire her for where she's been, where's she going and who she is for so many different reasons. She has taught me so many things in life and I would not be where I am today without her love, advice and support. I am also very lucky to have her acceptance and support of who I married- makes me wonder who she loves more! She is the ROCK of our entire family and we are all so blessed :)

So Mom, THANK YOU and 

I LOVE YOU!

Mother and I on my Wedding Day

Like Mother, Like Daughter :]
