Friday Funnies - 6.28.13

And just like that, it's the last Friday of June....the madness of this month is coming to a close and it looks like the first few weeks/weekends of July are going to be just as busy as well! But that's how we like things and seem to live - flying by the seat of our pants! After having such an exciting week with the job and internship offer, I am definitely looking forward to having a low key quiet night in tonight with just Jordan! We love our family and friends but this will be the first night where we are home alone without having to go somewhere or meet up with someone or have to do anything.... besides relax, lounge, and enjoy each other's company! Since it's mid-summer, I figured we could use a little baseball humor for the weekend since baseball season is now in full swing and the Cubs are back on the struggle bus. Like always. So the only thing to do about that is find some humor, laugh it off, and remind ourselves that "there's always next year!" (and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that....) Hope you all have a great weekend whether it's spent relaxing and doing nothing or entertaining some guests or traveling... it's summer so live it up and enjoy it!
#JOKE: Two buddies, Bob and Earl, were two of the biggest #baseball fans in America... #humor #lol

baby registry fun

Yesterday Jordan and I spent the afternoon at Babies R Us registering for Peanut! And wow, it was both excited and overwhelming all at the same time! There's literally SOOOO much to choose from....does there really need to be 100+ different strollers and car seats?! And tons of cribs, bottles, and swaddles to pick from?! We went in with a good idea of what we want to have for Peanut and ourselves but that didn't make it any less overwhelming. We did have a lot of fun though spending the afternoon together doing baby stuff. Jordan was so sweet and cute with a lot of it too...he was more concerned about the colors/style for some of the things than I would have thought. And he was most excited for the ErgoBaby carrier that we registered for and has every intention of wearing it frequently with Peanut so I'm hoping we get that...otherwise, it might have to be a special Dad-to-be gift for him! We picked out an awesome travel system and I'm super excited for it. It's the Graco FastAction Sport travel system and it's in a nice aqua/black color with 3-wheels which made it easy to steer and navigate...perfect for walks with Peanut and Paisley! There were so many gadgets and cool things too for babies and kids so we added those to our list. We spent a couple of hours there and left with only 25ish items on our registry which made us laugh for how long we had spent there! Thankfully, we can add things from on-line so we've already done that and added things on-line to our Target registry. Nothing like researching baby stuff and then adding it right to the registry from the comfort of our own home and couch! It's crazy how fast time is flying and before we know it, Peanut will be here so it's making me anxious to start getting things ready for our special arrival... just how early is too early to start nesting?!!

24 weeks


24 weeks update: First off, does anyone notice anything different?!!.... no? Ok well I'll tell you what it is.... I went back blonde! I was getting bored with my drab and blah brown-ish/blond-ish hair and it just really wasn't doing anything for me. I don't even know why I let my hair get like that for so long....oh well, it's gone now and I'm back to being blonde and am loving it. It's so much more flattering (at least I think, haha) and is so summery!

Ok enough about that! This week has been a very exciting one between the job/internship offers and having an appointment with our midwife for Peanut! I love hearing such good news from her and hearing Peanut's heartbeat is always so exciting. Our midwife said that Peanut is already head down and added that 95% of the time, once they go head down at this point, they will stay in that position and just keep growing. So that was nice to hear - no more flips or gymnastics Peanut, stay where you are and keep on getting bigger and healthier. Please, pleaseeee, don't go breech! The midwife also said that I'm still at a very healthy weight and everything is measuring right where she would like to see everything measuring at for 24 weeks. 

As for me, I have been feeling pretty good minus a few aches and pains that show up here and there. It's usually the worst in the morning when I wake up from sleeping in an awkward position or having a cramp but once I get going for the day, then it isn't too bad at all. I have been incredibly lucky to be this pain-free and symptom free for so long... still no swelling in my feet or hands even with how hot/humid it has been which is also very nice! Now that it is staying warm out, my cravings and NEED for fresh fruit and veggies has definitely amped up a ton! I could (and do!) eat an entire fresh pineapple every 2-3 days it seems...it's so good and so refreshing! I always try to have some sort of produce on hand in the fridge already cut up so when I start feeling hungry and need a snack, I go for a healthy option rather than eating some candy or cookies...not like I always resist that urge for something sweet but if I get some fruit in me, that usually has enough natural sugar in it to do the trick! I feel AND see Peanut move around like crazy and often times find myself just staring at my stomach as it changes shapes when Peanut is moving around. It is a very surreal thing but very special at the same time. It's weird to think that in 3 1/2 months Jordan and I will become a family of four (can't forget about our first fur-baby, Paisley!) and that we will have our own baby. Now that is crazy...not just another niece or nephew for us to love on and spoil but our own baby to love on and spoil and teach and guide through this crazy life! It's going to be quite the ride and I'm glad to have such an awesome husband to be on this ride with!

BIG offer day!

Someone better pinch me quick because I think I must be dreaming today..... this has been a very special and incredible day! SO much good news, so much relief, and so much excitement! I don't really even know where to start...so I guess I just jump right in! A week or so ago, Jordan was in the office at school and happened to be in the right place at the right time because the principle walked in and started making conversation with another teacher who inquired about any teaching positions opening up. There just so happened to be a 5th/6th grade math/science class that she thought would be opening....so this kind teacher quickly introduced Jordan to the principle! And they got to chatting and exchanged contact information then a few days later, Jordan was approached to set up an interview! He had the initial phone interview and then they set up an in-person interview so we both had a pretty good feeling about things but didn't want to rely on it and get our hopes up just to be disappointed. So Jordan had the in-person interview today.....and 45 minutes later, they called him back and offered him the job!!! AHHH!!! Jordan is officially a real full-time employed teacher and I could not be happier!! He is truly so deserving of this and works so hard for everything...for our family and for himself to make things happen and to be a better person every day. He is amazing and he is going to be an incredible teacher! Those kids are so lucky to have him for their teacher and I can't wait to see him inspire all of his students and staff members as well. I'm so proud of him and admire his patience to stick out the job hunt while applying for several jobs without hearing back. I know it can get discouraging but he always stayed positive and that is one thing I really love about him!

The other big news is that I have received an internship offer from the University of Iowa Children's Hospital to complete a Child Life internship....starting in about 2ish weeks so that I can be done before Peanut is born!! My supervisor paged me before I left work and said, "we need to talk before you leave for the day." so I was of course freaking out and was immediately paranoid. When she offered me an internship position, it was really the LAST thing I was expecting! I had sort of written that idea off because I knew doing one in the fall wasn't going to happen and doing one in the spring seemed unrealistic with a new baby at home! And they are being so accommodating by letting me start now, mid-summer, and be done by mid-September. They told me, "kids in hospitals need people like you there by their side to support them and help them. We can see your potential and we don't want that to go to waste just because you didn't get certified." I feel so incredibly lucky and thankful for this opportunity!! I have always said how I work with some amazing kids and family...but I also work with some pretty amazing specialists and they are awesome for helping make this happen for me! 

Tonight we will be celebrating with some 312...oh wait. Well, Jordan will be celebrating with some 312 and I will enjoy a virgin strawberry margarita! I'm so happy that things are finally, FINALLY, starting to fall into place for us. Both of these things takes a huuuge weight off my shoulders and I'm thankful to have some of our prayers answered. Things are definitely looking up and looking great!

DIY photo clocks

Now that their bridal shower has come and gone, I am so excited to share my latest project that I made! Earlier this week when I made the two canvas prints, I also made a fabulous photo clock for our friends Ryan and Alyson for a bridal shower gift to celebrate their upcoming wedding in September! I had emailed Ryan asking for a jpeg of some of their engagement pictures and he got them to me in record time - so thanks for being a big help, Ryan! This project was very easy and quick (and affordable!)....with a really awesome final product! I am already thinking of what picture I want to use to make one for myself to have at our place! Anyway, here is what you will need and how to make your own photo clock:

- plywood or MDF board (I used 1/4 Oak pinewood from Lowe's)
- mod podge
- paint brush
- acrylic paint color in whatever color you choose
- numbers (I used scrapbook numbers but you could place them on before printing the picture by using PhotoShop or some other photo editing program)
- clock parts
- battery
- easel/stand
- matte sealant spray 

1. order your picture and make sure it is a true .jpeg or formatted nicely...downloading one from Facebook won't print out nice at all! I ordered mine from Staples in a 16x20 and am very happy with the print quality!

2. get your plywood or MDF board. I knew I wanted the clock to be 16x16 so I had a guy at Lowe's cut the board down to 16x16 so now I have a left over piece...perfect for making a second clock! You can obviously choose whichever size you would like depending on where you plan to put the clock!



3. once you have the board, cut the picture down to match its size.

4. put a layer of mod podge onto the plywood and then starting with one side, align the picture and swipe across it slowly to make sure there aren't any air bubbles and to help keep it aligned on the plywood.

5. place the numbers onto the picture. I did this by measuring across creating an X and then down the middle and across the middle to essentially create a pie. I placed each number on and then measured to make sure then were all equally spaced. You could also get a clock template and mark on the picture where to place the numbers if you don't want to measure it out yourself.

5. **this is optional** on a few of the edges, just barely, the plywood was sticking out because the edges weren't perfect cuts and I wanted to edges to have more of a paint brush effect/look to match the background of the picture. So all you do for that is, get the paint color you would like, just dab the tip of the brush in the paint and then make quick/short strokes along the edges. There's really no right or wrong way to do this and you can make the strokes as thick/heavy as you would like. **this is optional**



6. once the paint has dried (or if you skipped that), paint a thin layer of mod podge over the picture including the paint and the numbers. Be careful going over the numbers so you don't peel one up but if you do, just stick it back down and make sure it is secure! This is just like painting over the picture with mod podge when making a canvas picture so it will look white/glossy at first, but it dries clear! Make sure to keep it a thin layer and if it bubbles, that means you have too much so spread it out evenly.

7. now it is time to drill the hole for the clock parts! I measured the width of the clock "hole" from the old clock that I took the parts off of so I knew what size of drill bit to use. Then, I measured an X across from each corner and marked the center so I knew the clock parts would be centered. Once you have the correct size, drill the hole .

8. **this is optional** I sprayed the matte sealant spray on top of the picture and along the edges to completely seal it and help protect it from sun damage and fading. I did two coats of this and it gave the clock a nice matte finish! **this is optional**

9. insert the clock parts along with a working battery then set the time and admire your new personalized photo clock! I found a nice picture stand for the clock but you could attach some poster hangers on the back of it if you would prefer to hang it up instead. 

"together until the end of time"
Congrats to the future Mr. & Mrs. Nelson!
We are so excited for your big day!

Friday Funnies - 6.21.13



Well it's finally Friday and we have another fun-filled and busy weekend ahead of us! My good friend Leah will be here in a little bit so I'm really excited to get to see her and hang out because it has been far too long since we've been together! And then tomorrow I have a bridal shower for my friend Alyson who is engaged to Jordan's really close friend who he grew up with, Ryan! We are really looking forward to their wedding in September even though I will be 8ish months pregnant...it will still be a great time! And on Sunday, Jordan and I are Godparent's to Lucie and she is getting baptized! Whewww lots of action and lots of family time plus seeing some old friends...should be a great time all around and I'm ready for it! Thankfully I haven't been feeling too exhausted lately and am still able to enjoy all of these get togethers with everyone! Hopefully you all enjoy your weekend and make time for some relaxing and lounging!

I can't wait until my own kid sasses me like that...oh wait, yes I can.

(more!) DIY canvas pictures

The crafting bug hit me again and I whipped up a fabulous wedding picture display that I love! And I did it super cheap and quick too so for anyone who is still afraid to take a stab at making their own canvas prints, don't fret any more! Canvas prints are a huuuge thing right now and as most of you know, they are also a huuuge expense. They are just plain crazy expensive! And you really have to commit to the picture that you decide for them since unlike a normal picture frame, you can't simply swap out the picture and update it as the times change! Which is why I knew I couldn't go wrong picking out some wedding pictures because those are ones that we will always cherish and I want to have on display to share and remember our special day! So, let's get down to business! Here is what you will need:

- blank canvas (I got mine from Hobby Lobby in an 11x14 two pack for $5 on clearance!)
- pictures of your choice (I got three 11x14 prints from Staples for $20! and they are awesome quality!)
- mod podge
- brush
- paint (if you want to paint the edges of the canvas instead of leaving it white)
- matte spray sealant (completely optional but since I already had this, I figured I'd spray on two coats to completely seal the final picture and protect it from fading)

1. paint the edges of your canvas whatever color you would like. I chose black since I had printed out and white pictures for mine. 
2. let the paint completely dry before moving on! I painted these at night and then finished the project the next morning so the paint wouldn't run or get on the picture. After the paint is dry, add a layer of mod podge and align picture onto the canvas making sure to do it from one edge to the next to help eliminate air bubbles.

3. ok this is usually the scary part of making a canvas picture and working with mod podge that people don't like and I was leery of it at first too (but I tested out the mod podge on a smaller picture just to verify and had proof it would dry clear and not ruin the picture!) Once the picture is set on the canvas, take the mod podge and put a thin layer across the picture and make sure to get all of the edges done too - this will help seal it entirely to the canvas and prevent it from trying to peel away. The picture will look sort of "milky" while the mod podge is still wet but I promise it will dry clear and leave a perfect matte finish! 

4. once the top layer of mod podge is dry, your new awesome and original canvas picture is done! After this, I sprayed two layers of the matte sealant spray onto mine but that is optional and not something you necessarily have to do!

Here are the final products up close:


I also picked up this float frame I found on clearance at Gordman's and used the extra set of vinyl letters I got when I had ordered them for our wedding mailbox to make this center picture:


And here's how they all look put together and hanging up to help decorate our bedroom. And of course there's Paisley, being my shadow and helping to model the complete look! I love it and even Jordan was completely impressed with these pictures! I wish I wouldn't have waited to long to make these but I see some being made in the future for gift ideas for people - they are cheap, quick, and easy plus such a great keepsake!

23 weeks


23 weeks update: another week down and another week closer to being in the 3rd trimester... I don't even get how that is possible! Thankfully, things have been pretty quiet and boring so far and I'm pretty happy about that. I've been trying to eat as healthy as I can but with the weather warming up so much, it is hard to resist an offer to get some ice cream or a smoothie! I walk at least 2 miles just to and from work each day and then another 2-4 miles while in the hospital so at least that makes me feel better...I know I'm getting in more than enough daily exercise and walking off the extra sweets I've been letting myself have! I can't believe  how much Peanut has started to squirm around. I'm convinced Peanut is doing downward facing dog at times and then just completely stretching out and lounging... every now and then my stomach goes from being round to crazy lopsided and with a bump protruding out of it! I've still been feeling great minus a recent development of getting cramps in my calves every now and then usually when I'm sleeping. There's nothing worse to wake up to than a cramp so bad where I can't even flex my foot one way or the other to make it go away! I suppose if that's the worst thing I've experienced so far, then things really aren't that bad though! We are looking forward to next weeks appointment to hear Peanuts heartbeat again and see how much we have both grown!

a Wicked recap

outside by the official Wicked semi!
spoiled by my sister...love you!
ahhh it's almost show time!
Jordan was embarrassed that I made him stand here for the picture..

"no photography allowed"
I think the guy meant during the show so I snuck this pic of the stage!

WICKED was absolutely incredible!!!! From the very beginning opening scene all the way through to the closing scene and final moments! I was in awe the whole time and even found myself tearing up from time to time because I was just that happy to be there and so impressed by everything and loved the whole story line along with every single song. I would highly, highly recommend this show to anyone if you ever have a chance to go see it....then definitely, buy tickets when they become available and go see it!!! You will not regret it at all! The show was both mesmerizing and amazing all at the same time... I still have all of the songs stuck in my head!

The rest of the weekend was just as awesome as well... we stayed up late both nights playing cards, exchanging lots of stories, and plenty of laughs. Saturday night we actually stayed up until the sun came up. I mean, until it was "daybreak" as we kept calling it. When we realized it was 5am, we quickly wrapped up our card game and called it a night or morning? We all slept in late on Sunday, because that's how all Lazy Sunday's should start, and then had breakfast together before hitting the road back home to Iowa. The weekend went by way too fast but it was one for the record books that's for sure. Jordan and I were both spoiled with the awesome tickets for Wicked and all of the good food and good company for the weekend... I have the best sister ever! Can't wait until we are all together again in a few weeks! Thanks for the laughs and filling our lives with love, you're the best!

Friday Funnies - 6.14.13


We are getting ready to hit the road to leave for Milwaukee for the weekend and I can't wait! We are going up to my sister's place for a weekend of fun that will include a lot of laughs, lounging, and we are going to see WICKED!!! Ahhh I'm sooo excited! I love a great weekend spent with my sister but a weekend together with a show?! Perfect! Jordan is the only one out of us who has already seen Wicked but he is just as excited to see it again... I somehow already have the entire soundtrack memorized and I've never even seen the show so I definitely can't wait for some of the songs to make a little more sense! June is really shaping up to be a great month and I'm so lucky to have gotten so much time with my family and our friends. Here's to another amazing weekend - hope you all enjoy the weekend as well!

now why didn't I think of this when I gave Paisley her summer buzz?!!

whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo!!! 
it seriously gets funnier the more you watch it.....

22 weeks



22 weeks update: I am feeling Peanut move a lot more frequently now that's for sure! It's always a weird feeling looking down at my stomach and seeing it bulge out or be really lopsided when Peanut is squirming around and getting comfortable. I hope that's the sign of a healthy and happy baby! Jordan and I have a lot of fun daydreaming about what different sports and activities Peanut will do and how we can't wait to attend different events like that...it's exciting to think about but I also want to cherish every moment of every day before our baby grows up too fast! I have been feeling really great and still have lots of energy. This is truly the "best part" of pregnancy like everyone usually says. No signs of nausea and I'm starting to actually look pregnant so it makes it fun when strangers acknowledge it and want to talk about baby stuff. Sleeping is starting to get a little interesting...I can get comfortable on my side with a pillow between my legs but have found myself waking up a couple times a night with a cramp in my calf or needing to go to the bathroom. It's not much to complain about so I try not to at all because I this point, I know my bump is still minimal so sleeping shouldn't be, and isn't, a problem! I still don't pass up a chance to take a nap when I can though - usually when I get home from work for the day, I'll take an hour (or two!) nap before Jordan gets home and we have dinner. I've been hitting up garage sales like crazy and have quite the stockpile of clothes in all sizes going, a really nice practically new pack 'n play, some toys, maternity clothes, and some other baby essentials for all stages/ages! I love finding such good deals and quality items for such a cheap price for Peanut! I don't really have many cravings but I still love eating a lot of fresh fruit especially pineapple. I can eat an entire fresh pineapple in 2 days.....and am then left wanting more still! I've gained a bit more weight it seems so I'm up to about 13 pounds total that I've gained and thankfully, it doesn't really look like I have (or at least that's what Jordan likes to tell me!) and it seems to be all belly and boob weight! No swollen ankles and no swollen fingers - I hope the summer heat doesn't make me balloon up... guess I'll keep drinking 100+ oz of water a day to hopefully avoid any serious bloat and water retention! Today officially marks 4 months until Peanut's due date!! 4 MONTHS! Ah we have a lot to get done between now and then but I know the time is going to fly by...I can't wait to meet you Peanut but please don't come too early - we need to prepare a little more!

weekends go too fast. way too fast...

Our girl's weekend officially came to an end when I had to drop my mom off at the airport today around noon. Man, why do the weekends always have to fly by especially the ones that are spent with family?! All of us girls had an awesome weekend though that's for sure! And I know Jordan had a blast in Chicago with all of his guy friends so it was a win-win for the both of us. Us girls did a lot of shopping, pampering ourselves with manis/pedis, and then did some baby stuff for Peanut! And it wouldn't of been a girls weekend without a chick flick movie marathon, popcorn, and plenty of snack food for the night! It was so fun hanging out, relaxing, and enjoying time spent with each other filled with lots of girl talk, plenty of laughs, and tons of love. I wish I could have more weekends like that with my mom, my sister and her girlfriend but I will take the time together that we can get! 

We also spent Sunday at my cousin's baby shower which was a lot of fun and really special. She is 10 weeks ahead of me so it was fun sharing stories of how we have been feeling and seeing what I have to look forward to (or dread!) as my pregnancy progresses with Peanut. She is expecting a little girl so she got lots of cute little girl outfits and fun stuff for the little princess...I can't wait to meet her when she arrives! It was great sitting around with my aunts and cousins talking about life, babies, and anything in between. I'm definitely lucky to have the support system I have no only with my immediate family but also my extended family...there's some awesome women in my life!

I was totally bummed to have to drop my mom off at the airport today and was avoiding having to say good-bye...good-byes are the worst and they never get easy. But knowing I will see my mom and dad in a few weeks when they drive back up to Iowa in July made it a little better that's for sure! I can't wait to see them already and am counting down the days until we're all reunited for another fun weekend! 


cousins and 2nd generation cousins on the way!

the mamas-to-be!
mom and her girls all in purple...
unplanned but pretty funny once we realized we all coordinated!

Friday Funnies - 6.7.13

It's Friday and it's girls weekend for me and guys weekend for Jordan! And today is also a special Friday because it's my parents 33rd wedding anniversary! Wow!! Way to rock, Mom and Dad! Hope you have a wonderful anniversary and 33 more years of wedded bliss - you two are my biggest supporters and have always encouraged me and loved me in all that I do. Thanks for being so awesome and the best parents a girl could ask for! Hope you all enjoy the weekend - around here it's supposed to be rainy and gloomy but that won't stop our fun! Since it's my parents wedding anniversary and my mom is spending the weekend with us, today's Friday Funnies is dedicated to moms and the job of being a parent. Enjoy!

Here comes Mom and a girls weekend!

It's finally that time...... time for my mom's plane to be landing in about an hour and a half for our Girls Weekend to be kicked off! Eeeek! I can't wait to spend four days with my mom and get in plenty of shopping, spoiling ourselves and Peanut, some manis/pedis, and a baby shower. Not only all of that but also my sister and her girlfriend will be here on Friday night for the rest of the weekend too! Whoo hoooo! Jordan will be leaving for Chicago on Friday afternoon so it will be just us girls all weekend and I can't wait....he probably would go crazy if he stayed here with all of us for the weekend! Time to finish getting ready and head to the airport to pick up my mom!

21 weeks


21 weeks update: whoooo, now we are down to the teens for weeks left. that's part terrifying and mostly part exciting all at the same time! I guess it's true what everyone says about enjoying the time with your husband and family and friends before the baby comes because the time really does fly by! I'm already dreading how fast our baby will grow up because I know that's what will happen next! Jordan and I have found a girls name that we both love AND can agree on....we won't be sharing what it is though because we don't want people to be critiquing it and giving us their opinions beforehand. We love it and that's what matters! We are still looking for the perfect boys name but I say we don't need to worry about one because I am just that convinced Peanut is a girl.....and I'm really sorry Peanut if you are a boy because I've been thinking otherwise this whole time so far! I have been feeling movement a lot more lately and that definitely makes all of this seem so real. It's mostly when I am laying down after work or before going to bed... Jordan has even seen some movement on my tummy every now and then which is awesome. It makes it really sink in that we have a baby on the way when we can see Peanut moving around like that! I'm still loving eating tons of fresh fruits and veggies and have been trying to work out at like 3-4 times a week. I'm trying to not be paranoid about the weight gain but I definitely am...I know I need to gain around 25-35 pounds but I'm hoping to not go much past that if at all possible! But it will all work out in the end and if gaining a couple extra pounds means having a super healthy and happy baby then I will take the extra pounds! I'm feeling really great, pretty energized for the most part, and my face has finally started to clear up. If it wasn't for my growing belly, I think I would forget I'm pregnant some days so things are definitely really smooth and quiet but boring is best my midwife says!

double digits of marriage months!



My Best Friend
By: Tim McGraw


I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of searchin'
'Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do

Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend, oh yeah


You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me

You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend


You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

Happy 10 months wedding anniversary, Mr. E!
I can't believe how fast we are approaching our first anniversary!
You control the crazy in my life and give the best support.
You truly are my best friend and better half.
All my love, KE
