Engagement Pictures

I never shared our engagement pictures,

only gave a sneak peak in which weren't the best ones!

Aaron and I took these at a location where he grew up....

Rambling Creek; his families plantation We also live on this plantation as well! It's really a beautiful place!

The barn photos were not taken on Rambling Creek,

however they were taken in our hometown!

Aaron was hilarious...

Didn't know what to do on shots like these...

He is the worst piggy back rider... e.v.e.r!

not very graceful...

I was holding on for dear life.

He never got directions on how to give a piggy back ride.

Smile honey, it's almost over!

Love this one

my feet were SO white

Favorite Picture

Wanted this one to be our save the date, however...

You can not see Aaron's face!

It was a very cold day, I froze my toosh off.

The happiest girl in the world♥

The Notebook???

Stage kisses are always funny...

On the road leading to our home!

Aarons favorite picture.

Aaron was having the hardest time keeping his eyes open.

Favorite Picture

Newspaper picture; Engagement Annoucement

I love the idea of this one.

Just wish my ring was in the middle of my finger.

Prior to getting it resized.

Really like this one...

But the glare on my eye ball makes me look freakish.

Best every day photo

Such a hands in the pocket kinda fella♥

Save The Date

I picked this picture because it symbolizes us the best.

I really wish the paddle was showing the date on it...

It would have made it 10 times better!



True Story.

Since I've been blogging, I've seen a great amount of inspiration & life.
I've met amazing people. Realized & have been educated about babies & pregnancy.
I've laughed, gotten angry, became sad...I've cried like a baby.
I've learned that my bad days are someone else's worst days of their lives.
I've been inspired by wedding & your every day living. Watching life through others eyes, is pretty incredible. Especially when there is a catch to the story, there usually always is.
I've been taught by all of you [strangers] that life can not be taken for granted!
Life is special everyday.

People ask why I blog.
Me? It's a documentary. Well, that's what it started off as.
Now? It's the book of life. Blogging has been an inspiration and has become a big part of me and how I feel or what I think. Sometimes, what I believe.
Thank you!
You have no idea what you do for me & how much you've touched my soul.

Aaron and I have been together for a little over 10 years. We've had a lot of struggles a long the way
in which describes our long term dating. Our struggles made our relationship. I would say we are pretty strong, however we have many years ahead of us. I know there will be many potholes awaiting. Many bridges to cross. Keyword: Together.
What I thought was tough in my relationship, is no where near as tough as what I'm about to start following
as of April 4, 2011.

True Story.



This couple is a hugh inspiration in my eyes.
Her words are written below...

Marriages are worth fighting for

Aaron & Jessica plus 8!

My favorite people in the whole world...

wrapped in my arms!

John Aaron, Chloe, Angel, Reid, Addyson, Emily Grace, Ashlyn, & Austin

Are they not the sweetest boys & girls you've ever seen?

They are my ♥

Lucky to say, we have one more on the way!

Being an Aunt is truly the funnest & most rewarding thing I've ever been blessed with. These children make me smile every time I see each one of their faces.  

Marry Me MOnday: Megan [LOVED her story]

Hey y'all! I am SO grateful and honored that Jessica asked me to be here today!! 

My name is Megan and I blog over at Mackey Madness. I have been married to my amazing husband for almost 6 months. I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about having a perfect marriage, but we have managed to grow, have fun, argue, and learn during our short time as husband and wife. 

We met back in August 2009 and things got serious VERY quickly. We were "officially" dating by October and we got engaged in March 2010. 5 months. Crazy fast, right? I would never have thought I would get engaged so fast, but we fell in love and couldn't wait to get married. I have had so many people ask me, "How did you know?" Well, honestly, you just know. I used to hate when people would tell me that. I wanted real reasons. Now, I see how true it is. We just knew. ; )

Besides that feeling that I got about my wonderful man, I wanted to share a few reasons why I knew he was the one for me. Justin is a gentleman...through and through. He opens car doors for me, doors to places, and does all the "manly" tasks. Even now, 6 months after marriage, he still opens my door every single time. I'm not saying that I wouldn't have married him if he didn't, but do you know how special that makes me feel every time? I feel like a princess, like a woman!!

He also is adventurous, active, and up for anything. Through our time together, he has always been up to the challenge when I want to do something. He has: carved pumpkins with me, gone mud riding with me, taken me fishing, hung out with JUST my girls and I, taken care of babies, baked cupcakes/cookies with me, gone on walks with me at any time, driven me wherever I suddenly wanted to go, and so much more.

Baking cupcakes for Halloween. 

Mud riding.

Justin is a hardworking man and LOVES his job. It melts my heart when he comes home with his eyes glowing as he talks about what he did at work. I love to see that passion in him.  He also knows how to have fun and act like a fool. He always makes me laugh and we have fun together all the time...whether we are out and about or sitting at home. He's a big time family man and his daddy is his best friend.

I hate to be cheesy when I say this (not really...I love cheesiness), but I hope that EVERY single one of y'all, male or female, finds their soul mate like I did. Someone to love you at every moment and to treat you right, all while having some fun. Life is too short to be miserable in a relationship...I learned that the hard way!

Thanks so much for having me, Jessica! I really enjoyed it!! : )

Are they not the cutest couple ever?

LOVED their story!

Thank you so much Megan!

Turkey Season, Fun.

Opening Day of

Turkey Season

The things we do for love♥

That's right. I'm sitting underneath a tree with my hubby to be....

waiting on this bird!

I'm not much of a hunter. Actually, when I was a kid [BIGGEST Disney fanatic of all time] and I watched Bambi for the first time, I thought... Who could kill an animal? I hated Bambi for that reason.

Who knew I'd end up marrying hunting-holic!

I pray for my sake, we don't see a turkey.

I pray for Aaron's sake he kills one. Yet I also pray for his & my sake I don't freak out!

Aaron is so excited about opening day. Earlier this week I walked in our living room to find him

sitting there, fully clothed in his camo, head mask and all... sitting on his butt pad by.him.self.

I thought poor thang! Until he made me do the same. I didn't cooperate very well.

[Butt Pad]

I must admit. I went turkey hunting with him ONE time last year...

and I have to say, it was more exciting than I thought. NOTHING like deer hunting.

I'm too hyperactive for deer hunting.
