Here's to the Royal Couple!

I had a few plans for the Royal Wedding Day and none of which have turned out!  Thanks to a stomach bug so generously given to me by sweet little boy I didn't make it up for the 4am footage!  I am looking forward to Wells' naptime so that I may catch up!  I also wanted to post a fun wedding post full of pictures from our own wedding but thanks to that bug again I didn't quite finish that up!  I mentioned this fairy tale life the other day, didn't I?
Anywho, I sure hope William and Kate have a life full of fun, laughter, happy tears that out way the sad ones, and lots of beautiful babies! (Dude, can you imagine what their kids will look like?)

Happy Royal Wedding Day Everyone!

Prince Charming

It's Royal Wedding Week...in case you hadn't heard! :)  I thought it would be oh so fitting to talk the next few days about my fairy tale life!  (Que sarcastic tone:  Because that's just what it is 100% of the time...a Fairy Tale!)
I met my prince charming in high school!  I was a senior and he was a junior (I am a cougar!) and I actually asked him out!  Talk about breaking all of the rules!  We had a seven year off and on courtship before our royal wedding (more to come on that Friday!).  And we have been married now for just under five years!  And let me tell ya, the longer I am married to this man the more I realize that he is a true prince!  And here's how I know:

He's strong!  All prince charmings must be strong...ya know, just in case they have to fight off any dragons!

  The Kiss!  I mean, it only took one to change the lives of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White!  Kisses are very important!

He is chivalrous!  I was cold, he took off his coat, and we have the picture to prove it!

He cleans up well, and that's important for a prince and important to a princess!

I think the walk says it all! 

Sunsets, sunsets, sunsets!  Don't most fairy tale couples ride off into them? 

Just look at him!  He's just the cutest thing!  I am pretty darn lucky that out of all of the people in the world, the Lord had him designed just for me!  And though life is not always a perfect fairy tale (GASP!) when you are married to a man like this it's easy to forget that it's not!

Boo-Boo

Wells took his first major tumble...culprit: cobblestone walkway and wrought iron gate!

Here's to hoping that your Monday has arrived with a very GENTLE landing!

Here are some pictures and memories from previous Easters!  (Mainly last Easter!)

Before Wells was born Graham and I would make Easter baskets for each other!  This particular photo was taken in 2008.  It was always so fun and each year it would bring out the kid in both of us!  This particular year Graham put a Chick Fil A gift card in mine because I used to LOVE to stop and get chicken minis and a large Diet Dr. Pepper on the way to work!  Hey, there is no better way to start your day!

And, well, last year the Easter bunny came to see Wells!  He forgot my candy and gift card! :( 

I love how Wells is eyeing his goodies!

Shout for Joy Wells!  Our Redeemer Lives!

 Little did we know last Easter that this picture would be such a treasure to us this one!  Here's Wells, his cousin Cashton (only 9 days apart) and our dear Mama Tut!  We sure do miss her!

Wells actually loved the Easter Bunny, while in D.D.'s arms of course!

This Easter we have a really special treat, the Butlers will be here for the weekend!  We have lots of fun activities planned which we are all pumped about!  Graham and I will also have the chance to celebrate with his wonderful family on Sunday!  So, lots of pictures to come next week!

Happy Happy Easter to you all!  Take some time this weekend to celebrate Jesus! 

He Lived, He Loved, He Healed, He Served, He Mourned, He Died (an unbelievable death...for us), He Loved (even more),

He ROSE!  He LIVES!

Are you coming to the party?

Party: yes, please!  This Sunday just so happens to be EASTER!  And you better believe that we have cause to celebrate!  I will be partying it up at NewSpring Church...and if you don't have a place to go this weekend then we would love to see you there!  If you do have a place, however, I hope you have an awesome party as we rejoice in the greatest reason of all to celebrate!
