Daniel Joseph... is Five!

this and that!

I must admit, I enjoy being a wife.

There are some days I realize that I have no idea what I'm doing...

okay, that's most days, if not all days.

BUT!

I really am enjoying this new stage of life.

In fact, Andrew and I have both said that it feels like we've always been married... we haven't really had to adjust to it, except for in a couple ways, but nothing straining and serious!

I'm so thankful.

Hard days.

They do come.

Even when you're living happily ever after.

Beauty and the Bubbles

My sweet sister, Jessie, was able to spend a couple days with Andrew and me this week!

What a loverly time we had! 

Lots of chips and salsa.

Other unhealthy meals.

Ice cream.

Gallons of coffee.

Staying up late watching movies.

Sleeping in.

Hairdos!

Manicures.

Shopping.

Doing lots of dishes.

Duets with keyboard and violin!!!!

AND!

This quick photo-shoot:

a thousand words

Isn't it lovely when you can rely on pictures to do most of the talking for you?!

So, here is my life as of late... portrayed with few words...

because sometimes they aren't needed.

Because there's more to a wedding...

... than cool hairstyles and saying "I do".

After doing my post of wedding photos, I realized how perfect everything looked...

You couldn't tell that we were sweaty and tired.

You couldn't tell that certain things came together last-second.

You couldn't tell that I had lost my voice.

:-P

There are so many things that made that day uniquely ours.

And I wanted to share some of those other, special pictures...

some very beautiful and sweet,

others just simple awesome because they paint

thousands of words and memories...

and have become some of my favorites.
