My How Time Flies When You Are Having The Time Of Your Life...

We can not believe that we are already celebrating our one year anniversary! Our first year of marriage was nothing but wonderful and for that we feel so very blessed! Drew and I celebrated this past weekend and had a fabulous time! On Saturday night we stayed at the new and gorgeous Hilton in Southlake Town Square. Our weekend was filled with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, massages, dinner at Brio Tuscan Grill, movie night, Cheesecake on the Square, room service breakfast in bed, a stroll around the Square, dinner reservations at Sullivan's Steakhouse, and enjoying some of our wedding cake (which was quite delicious believe it or not!). The weekend was just picture perfect and it was such a relaxing getaway. Thank you to everyone who wished us a happy anniversary! We love you all!

I love you with all of my heart honey! Thank you for a WONDERFUL first year, I can't wait to celebrate many more!!!

And I just need to brag on my hubby for a minute because for our one year he surprised me with Marc Jacobs sunglasses! He came up with the idea all on his own, picked them out on his own, and he totally surprised me!...I LOVE surprises! Thank you thank you thank you for my fabulously fashionable shades! (see picture below)

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO US!.....AND MANY MORE!

Trying "House Wife" On For Size

And it fits so well! :) You can get so much done when you don't have work interfering with your busy day! These last two weeks I have very much enjoyed being a little house wife and its something that I could very easily get use to! (one of these days)

So let me explain...a couple of weeks ago I was given the amazing opportunity to go and work for my dad and it was something that Drew and I jumped right on! So I gave Scott my two weeks notice and was very ready and excited to wrap up my time with Northwestern Mutual. To make long story short, after I had given my notice to Northwestern, the owner of Mohawk (my dad's company) showed up in the Dallas location and announced that he was selling the Dallas branch. Everyone was completely and utterly shocked! It was such a sad day and a day that left our family feeling very unsure of the future. But my oh my is God good!! My dad and I both had several job opportunities open up to us during the last two weeks that were nothing short of God's grace. I have accepted and am starting a job on Monday with Tenet Healthcare and my dad is starting on Monday with Daryl Flood. The Lord has provided us both wonderful opportunities that are far above and greater than where we previously were employed. He gives and takes away, He gives and takes away, my heart will choose to stay, Lord blessed be your name!

These last two weeks have been amazingly refreshing...I have very much enjoyed the time to get caught up on everything and to do the special things that I would not have had the opportunity to do otherwise. This situation has reminded us to rely on the Lord always, no matter what, and that He has an amazing plan for our lives even though we may not see it at the time. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, you all are amazing!

CHEERS to a fresh start!

Happy one year anniversary to my precious Em and Matt! (on Monday) I can't believe that you guys have already been married for a year! Love you guys so much and it is so special to see how in love you guys are! Miss you sweet Countryman's and hope to see you soon!!
