The BEST Gift.

Wow, what a birthday! Thanks to that sweet post below I am now a weeping mess, Thank you, Jas!!

It seems like we have been celebrating my birthday for a few weeks now but today it is official!

For my birthday Jason took me shopping for all the things needed for my brand new etsy studio. I cannot wait to take pics once it is all set up! This weekend we are celebrating with family and he also got us reservations for Saturday night to celebrate just the two of us.

Last weekend I blew out candles at Mom and Ron's.




Love the 80's sunglasses?? You could say I am feeling pretty loved! What an amazing year it has been. Since my last birthday, I have survived a scary hurricane, married my very best friend and become an aunt (twice!) We have been lucky enough to have travelled all over the place from Dallas to San Antonio to Breckenridge to Florida to Mexico.

And now for our grandest adventure yet and the best birthday present in the whole world....

Happy 29th B-day Mackenzie!!!!!!!

Today, along with every other day of the year, I get to celebrate the birth of my beautiful, loving wife.
Mackenzie, thank you for everything that you do, and for being the awesome person that you are! Some people look at aging another year as another year older. Know that I view it is another day closer to us being able to spend the rest of our lives together; a new chapter in life to live. I hope that your birthday is a fantastic one! I love you with all of my heart, my sweet!
Love,
Jason

Not So Little Anymore.

This weekend we got some exciting news all the way from Provo. Laci (AKA "Little Sis" "Runt") is getting married!!


I'm pretty sure I blew out a couple of people's eardrums in Cracker Barrel with my screams when we heard the news. Laci and Mark, we couldn't be more happy for you! Laci, it seems like yesterday that I carried you around everywhere on my hip and told everyone you were mine. You've been my best friend for almost 21 years now which is a lot because you can kind of be a pain in the butt sometimes.... I kid! I kid!





Mark, you are getting an amazing girl, take good care of her and I can't wait to meet you!


Congratulations to you both!!! We love you!!



XOXO,
Mack & Jason

Kanye Is At It Again.

September Rain.

It has been a rainy, rainy week. The kind you wish you could spend inside wrapped in blankets napping.

This time last year we were running with a trunk full of bottled water and a full tank of gas away from Hurricane Ike.

I'll take a simple rain shower any day. :o)

Aunt Debbie.

My sweet sweet aunt lost her 14 month battle with stage 4 cancer and passed away Sunday morning. Memorial services have been set for Saturday at 11am.

Monday was hard, waking up and coming to work and putting on my smiley face as if nothing had happened. I think the hardest part right now is trying to wrap my head around the fact that family gatherings will never be the same.

But then I look over at my sweet sweet husband who, since this has happened has been holding onto me tightly as if afraid to let go, and I realize that we will have our own little family one day and be starting new traditions and we will bring along everyone with us who was left behind.It might be different and it might be missing someone very important, but we will go on.

Plus we will have the best guardian angel that anyone could ask for. We love you, Aunt Debbie! XOXO
