an anniversary celebration

Yesterday Jordan and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! I can't believe a year has already flown by...it went by so crazy fast! Our year was filled with the expected joys, a few unexpected setbacks, and some surprising news! We are thankful that we had a year full of love and laughter, lots of special time with our families and friends, and we can't wait to welcome our first baby into our lives in a few weeks! We were able to enjoy the whole day together by relaxing and sleeping in then we had a delicious dinner and dessert at Chili's followed by a round of 9 holes of golf. Jordan is going to be such a wonderful dad and coach...he is so patient with teaching me to golf and helps me with lots of tips and tricks! My ultimate goal is to become good enough at golf so that we can golf together in a couple's league! 

Happy One Year Anniversary, Jordan! Thank you for being an incredible husband day in and day out! You are my rock and I would truly be a crazy person without by my side to keep me sane! Here's to our 2nd year of marriage...let's rock this thing!

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Mr. E!

Then

By: Brad Paisley

I remember

Trying not to stare

The night that I first met you

You had me mesmerized 

And three weeks later 

In the front porch light 

Taking forty five minutes

To kiss good night

I hadn't told you yet

But I thought I loved you then 

(Chorus)

And now you're my whole life 

Now you're my whole world

I just cant believe 

The way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea

Stronger then it's ever been 

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then 

And I remember

Taking you back 

To right where I first met you

You were so surprised 

There were people around

But I didn't care 

I got down on one knee right there

And once again 

I thought I loved you then 

(Chorus)

And now you're my whole life 

Now you're my whole world

I just cant believe 

The way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea

Stronger then it's ever been 

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

I can just see you 

With a baby on the way 

And I can just see you

When your hair is turning gray

What I can't see

Is how I'm ever gonna love you more

But I've said that before 

(chorus)

And now you're my whole life 

Now you're my whole world

I just cant believe 

The way I feel about you girl

We'll look back someday

At this moment that we're in

And I'll look at you and say

And I thought I loved you then

And I thought I loved you then

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Mr. E!

We have had more ups than downs this year

and it has been quite the ride!

We make the perfect team together

and I can't wait to see what our future holds!

The best is truly yet to come for us!

All my love, KE

Friday Funnies - 8.2.13

The first Friday funny of August, what whaaaat?! And it's our 1st wedding anniversary weekend! Other than celebrating our big one year, we don't really have anything else planned besides sleeping in and relaxing! We are getting settled in at Jordan's parents as minimal as possible because I don't want to have to repack/reorganize things when we get ready to move into our own place! But it's definitely no fun living out of a suitcase and having all of our stuff spread out in lots of boxes....but hey, I'll take that over being homeless! Looks like the month of August is going to fly by with my internship still going on, Jordan starts teaching full-time and coaching, our baby shower, and Iowa football starting! Bring on all of the fun times with lots of family and friends! Happy August everyone and enjoy the weekend!

And I am sad to announce that even though this is the first Friday Funny of August, it is also going to be the last....wahhh! Turns out between the internship, setting up our new home, and preparing for Peanut's arrival, turns out I don't have that much extra time to be spending dinking around on the internet! BUT! Rest assured, if I do find things that I still find really funny and entertaining, then I will be posting that because who doesn't enjoy a good laugh from time to time?! Maybe once Peanut arrives and we get in a good routine, I will be able to post Friday Funnies again consistently... until then, keep laughing and loving!

Love Stinks

Especially if you live with someone who farts into the fan every night!

11 months...wait, that's almost a year!

You're My Everything

By: Michael Buble

You're a falling star, you're the get away car.

You're the line in the sand when I go too far.

You're the swimming pool, on an August day.

And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.

Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.

Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.

Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, You make me sing.

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well, 

And you light me up, when you ring my bell.

You're a mystery, you're from outer space, 

You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man! 

And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.

Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through, 

And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, You make me sing

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, You make me sing.

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're every song, and I sing along.

'Cause you're my everything.

Yeah, yeah

Happy 11 month wedding anniversary, Mr. E!

You are truly my everything and together we have everything.

I know you will always be there to pick me up when I am down.

I'm thankful to have you by my side in this crazy life of ours!

All my love, KE

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

9 months...3/4 of a year already!

 'Cause I Love You
By: Johnny Cash & June Carter

I'll sweep out your chimney 
yes and, I will bring you flowers

yes and, I will do for you

Most anything you want me to

If we live in a cottage

You will feel like it's a castle

By the royal way you're treated

And attention shown to you

I'll be there beside you

If you need a cryin shoulder

Yes, and I'll be there to listen

When you need to talk to me

When you wake up in the darkness

I will put my arms around you

And hold you till the mornin sun 

Comes shinin' through the trees

I'll be right beside you

No matter where you travel

I'll be there to cheer you

Till the sun comes shinin through

If we're ever parted 

I will keep the tie that binds us
And I'll never let it break'Cause I love you 

I will bring you honey

From the bee tree in the meadow

And the first time there's a rainbow

I'll bring you a pot of gold

I'll take all your troubles

And I'll throw 'em in the river

Then I'll bundle down beside you

And I'll keep you from the cold

I'll be right beside you

No matter where you travel

I'll be there to cheer you

Till the sun comes shinin through

If we're ever parted 

I will keep the tie that binds us

And I'll never let it break

'Cause I love you

Happy 9 month wedding anniversary, Mr. E!
You are incredible, supportive, and you make me a better person each day.
I vow to always give you my best and to be your best friend.
All my love, KE

8 Months...and ready for the adventure of our lives!

This I Promise You

By: N*Sync

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes 
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)

Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

Happy 8 month wedding anniversary, Mr. E!

We are in for the adventure of our lives together becoming parents!

I can't wait for what's ahead of us!

You are a wonderful husband and you will make an amazing daddy!

All my love, KE

I'll Cover You
By: RENT

Live in my house

I'll be your shelter

Just pay me back

With one thousand kisses

Be my lover - I'll cover you

Open your door

I'll be your tenant

Don't got much baggage

To lay at your feet

But sweet kisses I've got to spare

I'll be there - I'll cover you

I think they meant it

When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it

A new lease you are, my love,

On life - be my life

 

Just slip me on

I'll be your tenant

Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat

You'll be my king

And I'll be your castle

No you'll be my queen

And I'll be your moat

I think they meant it

When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it

A new lease you are, my love,

On life - all my life

I've longed to discover

Something as true as this is

So with a thousand sweet kisses,I'll cover you

With a thousand sweet kisses,I'll cover you,
When you're worn out and tired
When your heart has expired
If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you,
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you

Oh lover I'll cover you

Oh lover I'll cover you

Happy 7 month wedding anniversary, Mr. E!
We are on the downhill slide to nearing a full year already!
I'd be lost without you and all that you do for me!
Thanks for always being the best everyday :)
All my love, KE

half a year!

Stuck Like Glue

By: Sugarland

Absolutely no one who knows me better

No one that can make me feel so good

How did we stay so long together?

Everybody, everybody said we never would

And just when I

Start to think they're right

The love has died

There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it, do it one time?

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue
Some days I don't feel like trying

Some days you know I wanna just give up

When it doesn't matter who's right

Fight about it all night

Had enough, you give me that look

I'm sorry baby let's make up

You do that thing that makes me laugh

And just like that
There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it, do it one time?

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, you almost stay out

Two stuck together from the ATL out

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, feelin' kinda sick

Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whatcha gonna do with that?

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, come on over here with that

Sugar sticky sweet stuff, come and give me that stuff

Everybody want some

Melodies that get stuck up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me together, say it's all I wanna do

I said there you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it, do it one time?

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know I'm never letting this go

There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it, do it one time?

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, stuck like glue

You and me baby, we're stuck like glue

Happy 5 month wedding anniversary, Mr. E!

If I had to be stuck with someone for my life, I am happy it will be with you.

Here's to a full year of being Mr. & Mrs together!
I can't wait for what this year has in store for us!
All my love, KE
