Year 29

  • Happy Birthday Michael!

I feel like after 7 years of blogging, you know everything about my husband! I mean, you’ve known who Michael is for a LONG time!! We’ve dated since I was 15, he’s been a part of our family since before I could remember and I’ve documented every MAJOR life change that has happened to us over the last seven years on this blog! You know that he has an awesome smile, he loves all things Apple and that he has the power to make ANYTHING fun if he wants to. You know that he basically lives in button up shirts and he’s our travel expert. You also know by now that Michael is an irreplaceable part of our business.

Our House Is Officially on the Market!

  • And Why We’re Moving ...

Well, this is quite a crazy post to write. It’s official, we’re moving!! We have been casually mentioning this under the radar over the last three weeks but it’s not hear-say, it’s really happening! And I can say that with certainty because as of today, our house is on the market!! It’s listed and we’re having an open house in Saturday!! Our most common response is WHY?! WHY would you leave this BRAND NEW, BEAUTIFUL house that you JUST built?! That’s a fair question…. and it’s kind of hard to answer because there are so many pieces to this puzzle.

Nick + Megan

  • A Chesapeake Bayside Wedding | Essex, Maryland

This is going to be such a strange way to start a blog post… but, I was in the restroom during the reception, and I overheard a conversation. Now, I barely have a chance to grab sips of water during a wedding day and so when dinner begins and we have a few minutes to take a deep breath and use the bathroom, this isn’t the time that I expect to find my “Blog post” inspiration! I overheard two ladies in the bathroom talking about how lovely this wedding was. Their exact words were “This is such a warm and inviting wedding… you can really see the love between the two of them.” Wow! What a compliment. My momma always told me not to eaves drop but I’m really glad I heard this sweet exchange because there is no better way to describe Nick and Megan’s day.
