we have been having such a great time lately. A well oiled machine. This kid is just too good to me. When he's not crazy busy with work, he's making sure that I get lots of rest. I'm spoiled. Lucky beyond words. And happy:)

my heart has a birthday:)

my honey. my husband. my show-pony-love...turned the big THREE-0 on July 24th:):) 

i know he hasn't looked forward to the years passing over the last few years and has actually gotten a bit annoyed with it. I really hated the idea of him starting to dread his birthday!! I'm sure the majority of us would like to stop time in it's tracks...but since that shit just ain't gonna happen...we must embrace our birthdays! Celebrate them! Milk them out as long as possible;) 

this year, especially being his 30th, I wanted to make it something great for him! I surprised him the morning of his birthday by telling him that I'd gotten him the day off of work...by his reaction...that would have been amazing enough;)

BUT nope. I'm pretty awesome...so I then told him to get ready cause I had gotten a sitter for the night (thanks MOM:) and we were headed to a Brewer Game with 2 of his buddies! We also met and stayed with his sister, Renee, who lives in Milwaukee!

it was an amazing time and I think he had a smile on his face for 48 hours straight!!!:)

   

we cooked out and had a few drinks prior to the game...we didn't have enough time to get to the stadium parking lot but were able to do a little tailgating at his sister's place:)

seeing as the game was on a Wednesday, it wasn't too packed. But we had great seats and have promised we'll make sure to find our way back to those seats for any future games! We actually had our own waitress for our section! Which made getting expensive food and drinks...too easy;)

i think we broke records with the number of selfies we (I) took! Oops;)

it got a taddddd cold out so we hit up the stadium shop for some hoodies....and now Homer may have to drive an old Astro Van to high school and get a job in order to attend college!!:/ Sorry buddy;)

since none of us are heavy drinkers...we had a super tame night of drinking. Seeing as we are ALL heavy eaters...we ended the night with full belly's of Toppers. Nom. Nom. Puke;)


happy birthday to a man that I'm insanely proud to call my own. All I wanna do is make you happy forever:)

this day we were celebrating Jacob's 2nd Father's Day:) 

i have to admit...these last few weeks have been...trying. I think sometimes you get to a place in a relationship where you're all "we rock. done.". And then all of a sudden there's 3 weeks where you're completely not in-tune. This happens?? Not to us!!!

i guess no relationship is untouchable. Perfect. Not even ours people;) In this situation, I blame us less...and maybe that whole moving thing more. These last couple weeks have been a whirlwind and stressful, to say the least. 

We finally got a chance to really sit down and talk and all feels right in my world now. Usually, for us, that's all it takes. A late night of pizza in the middle of the bed while we talk about everything and anything. How we feel. What we want. Where we want to go. What we want to get done. And then we're all good. We're back to our happy place:)

i love this kid so much. And he'll always be the answer to any of my troubles - and quite possibly the source sometimes;) We're in this forever and then we have plans to meet up and do it all over again:)

fantastic weather is finallyyyyyy here and that means more ice cream and walks and sunnnnnnn!!!! It brings a whole new level of happy to our home:)

if you see me walking around with a ridiculous smile plastered to my face...it's a bit to do with this amazing weather and a lot to do with how fun my boys make all my days:)

so this man I married...he means the world to me:) I'm not the greatest when it comes to expressing my emotions. Sureeeee, I cry a lot. Like a lot...a lot;) But when shit gets a little serious I usually screw it up by saying something stupidly inappropriate out of sheer uncomfortableness:(

i found a few quotes, pertaining to love and marriage, that i love and agree with fully. Enjoy:)

DISCLAIMER: puke bag or tissues needed...if this kinda lovey dovey shit gets to you;)


“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” 
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“I don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with.” 
― Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

“After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.”
― Mark Twain, The Diaries of Adam & Eve

“Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete. Who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. Its about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing all the way to your bones that she's simply the best person you've ever known.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

found via Quotes About Marriage:)


and the one below I found while reading a book and thought was kinda cute:)

"...the most important decision you'll ever make is who you marry. You can take every other decision you'll ever make, add them together, and it still won't be as important as that one. 
Suppose you choose the wrong job, for example. With the right wife/husband, that's not a problem. She'll/he'll encourage you to make a change, cheer you on no matter what.
You have to love her/him more than anything in the world. But she/he has to love you just as much. Your priority should be her/his happiness, and her/his priority should be yours.
That's a funny thing - caring about someone more than yourself. It's not easy. So don't look at her/him as just a sexual object or as just a friend to talk to. Picture every day with the person. Picture paying bills with that person, raising children with that person, being stuck in a hot room with no air conditioning and screaming baby with that person..."
- Harlan Coben, The Final Detail

because he's the best in the world...

and because I like to make you puke in your mouth;)

have I mentioned lately how impossible life would be without Jacob? NO?! Ridiculous. One thing we've promised each other so far in this pregnancy and a promise to keep after baby arrives..is to never forget where it all started:) Me and Him. Him and I. We believe in coming first in order to give our baby(ies:) the best:)

and there we are having it all figured out already;)

PS. we fully realize that things are going to be SO much different than we have planned/hoped/thought once this baby is a reality...here! We are 100% positive it's going to be hard and there will be 'tough' times.

Just wanted to point out that we're not pretending that things will be perfect, by any means. But we can't wait and we're both 100% sure we can do this, only because we have each other:)

trying some new stuff here on iheartmywedding. Trying to keep things new and fresh!!!!

For realio...I've actually seen this little animation thingy a few times and really liked it. I don't really have it completely right yet...I think I need to look for the right shots to get...like going down a slide - See Here.

But for now it's kinda fun to mess around with it!!

so now I want a freaking locket. Not just any locket. A love freaking locket.

i was thinking I could get one off Etsy and then have it etched with 'my heart'. That's what Jacob calls me. Ahhhhhhh! He's too much...in the best way possible:)

i'm thinking the bigger, the better:)
