9 Years ago today...

We were just two 16 year old kids sitting on my parent's couch nervous about what was to come. You finally got up the nerve to ask me to be your girlfriend and I, like a giddy little girl, said yes!! That day has forever changed my life. I still get the same butterflies in my stomach when I hear the door unlock each night when you are getting home from work, and I love that we still make each other feel like we are 16 again. I love the journey that we have taken these past 9 years together and I look forward to what has yet to come in this journey!

During the past 9 years we have gone through a lot together: first kisses, graduating high school, moving to college, fraternities/sororities, losing loved ones, internships that kept us apart for 6 months, graduating college, getting our first big-kid jobs, an engagement, a wedding, a honeymoon, moving in together in Baton Rouge, moving to Austin, an unexpected pregnancy, a horrible miscarriage, moving across the country to New York, unemployment, long hours at work, and thoughts about what is to come. Whether it was good or bad, we have been by each other's side the whole time. I would not change one thing about our life together, even though I complain on a daily basis about being so far from our families. You are my rock and my best friend, and I look forward to many, many, many more years together. Happy 9th {dating} anniversary!

Here is a look back at the past 9 years {wow, I went through a lot of hairstyles}....

Have a Great Weekend!

My First Blog Post

I finally decided to enter the world of blogging. So far it feels strange, like I am talking to myself, but I am going to try to hang in there because I think that this will definitely be something fun to look at in the future.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a twenty-something housewife who loves to cook, bake, and shop. My husband and I met in high school when we were 16 and got married at 23....yes, after 7 1/2 years of dating we finally took the plunge!! Since being married we have lived in 3 different cities in 3 different states. I know moving 3 times in a year and a half....we must be crazy. We both went to LSU for college so our married life started out in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The economy put a damper on my husband's job search, but we felt very lucky when he got a job offer so we packed up and moved to Austin, Texas. After 8 months there the economy took an even deeper plunge and his hours were cut back in Austin, an amazing job presented itself at just the right time so we again packed up and moved halfway across the country to New York City...Brooklyn to be exact!!

We are still getting used to life here, and it definitely has its good and bad side (LOTS of shopping but no car and no laundry). All that matters right now is that we are together and happy.

I can't wait to share more about everything from Fashion and food to laundry and dishes!

To anyone out there....thanks for reading!
