Eleven Month Anni + Pics!

Happy Friday, Blonde Ambitioners! I'm super jealous of those of you who are off work today...sadly, I am not : ( But, I'm making the best of it and trying to focus on that fact that I have a three day weekend. Woo and hoo!

Yesterday Stephen and I celebrated our 11 month anniversary. 11 months ago yesterday, we went on our first date here in Northwest Arkansas!

Last night we celebrated by getting all gussied up and going to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Abuelo's. We believe that special moments in life are to be celebrated with copious amounts of cheese dip and salsa : ) We ended the evening by playing with our furry son, Ari. We figured 11 months should be a family affair, haha.

We cracked up at this pic...he looks pitiful!

I know this is riveting stuff, but y'all gotta understand, I am so utterly grateful for the turn my life has taken in such a short time.


(I treat this blog like a personal journal, so I'm going to get a little deep and sappy....feel free to skim down to the pics, haha)

I never knew one's life could change so drastically in only 11 months, but I'm living proof that it can. In fact, I was thinking of where I was at this time last year. I was actually headed to Memphis with a friend for a fun girls' weekend. We did have a great time, but I remember thinking of how much I would love to have a special someone to watch the fireworks with the next year.

Well, I guess God decided it was time to send a fireworks watching companion my way. A mere 15 days later on July 15, 2010, I learned of S's existence and he of mine. On July 30, we went on our first date.

My life has never been the same since.

This weekend we intend to take the boat out, eat some burgers and....watch some fireworks.

Together.

Be blessed, lovelies-
