Last day as 3

May 8th was officially our last day as a family of 3! 

That entire morning I had a feeling I would be going over to the hospital to have our sweet Everley, though that wasn't the case. I had a doctors appt that morning, I wasn't far enough along for my doctor to send me over the hospital. Though have many looks at one another, him mentioning he was at the hospital that weekend, and I pointing out that it was Mother's Day. He said he would go ahead an induce me Saturday morning at 7am! WAHOO!

We decided to only tell our families and our small group at first. We made an official announcement on Saturday that we were at the hospital awaiting her arrival! 

I picked Tensley up from school that day. Knowing it was my last day with just her I wanted to make it truly count! So I made sure that it was an extra special day for her before her world is totally turned up side down.  As soon as school let out we went straight to her favorite park!

Climbing up the rock wall!

We stopped at our Aunt Carolyn's. I needed lunch and Tensley wanted a Ho-Ho, so a Ho-Ho it is!!

After we went back to the park. We stopped by Chik-Fa-La.
I love our Freebie Card every month! She loved another round of playing. 

Then we came home and watch a couple of episodes of Sofia the First, Daniel Tiger, and
Minnie Mouse Bowtique! I was loving all the extra snuggles.  

She packed herself for a sleepover with my Aunts.
She thought it was just a typically sleepover, nothing special :)

We convinced Daddy to have a picnic dinner back at her favorite park.
KFC was dinner of choice. David's pick!
I know your shocked too! 

Skipping rocks together. Her favorite activity with him. 

She rode her big girl bike for the first time! She did so great, I cried behind her the entire time.
Thankful for this guy and his willingness to run and catch up with her. 

This was her reaction when we told her that her sister would be
arriving the NEXT day!  She squealed so loud with excitement! 

4 Year Anniversary

On May 7th we celebrated one of my favorite days of the year, our 4 year wedding Anniversary. It’s hard to believe that we have already been married for 4 years, those years didn’t always come easy but they have been the most fulfilling 4 years.
We have continued to put our marriage first and fight for our time together so that we can continue to grow in our relationship. We have better learned how to communicate with one another, date one another, and truly be there when times are hard. By putting Christ first in the center of our marriage over the past few years, I can see how our marriage has blossomed. I can also see with great humility the areas the Lord wants us to work on.

David,

    It is truly a blessing being married to you, my best friend. You have a way of making me laugh, even when I tell you your jokes aren’t funny. You know how to keep me calm when I’m overwhelmed or feel things are too chaotic. You have taught me to have more patients, not to be such an in pulse buyer, and to be more adventurist. Though the greatest thing you have ever given me besides our now 2 beautiful daughters, was the ability to be a full-time stay at home mommy this past year. For that I am eternally grateful for the hard work and sacrifices you make.

Wedding Day!

1 Year!

2 Years!

3 Years!
