TWO Years...


Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary!
(this week also marks 8 years of dating)


My first thought is: Where has the time gone? It has gone so fast!
My second (and the most important) thought is: How did I get so lucky?
and that is honestly how I feel today.
No, Billy isn't paying me to say all this. 
Although... kidding.

I feel so grateful to have this man by my side.

Two years ago, I woke up to realize I would be living my dream that day.
I'd have my Dad to walk me down the aisle, I'd get to have my best friends and family beside me, and most importantly-I realized I'd finally get to marry the man I've been crazy about since I started college. Sure, I was excited to put on my dress, to have my makeup done, to see all the little details we worked so hard on come to life, but what I was the most thankful for (and am today) is that I'm living my life with my best friend. 

I'm most thankful for you, Billy.
That we found each other and get to spend forever making memories.
I know what we have is so special and that we were meant to be together. 
Some people say I'm more athletic than you are (me), that I crack the better jokes (me), and that I have more talents (okay... just me, again), but I assure you just the second one is true this isn't the case. 
You are my better half. 

...so, let's celebrate us big time this week, ok? Let's go all out.
Maybe we could just stay in Cali and ship Rocky out there to join us and not come back for a month or two? 
I joke.
I'm stretching it.

I love you, babe.
Happy two years..
and many more to come!

  40. This warms my heart so much!! Friend to friend...you and Billy truly have a marriage I've always admired! Beau and I have learned so much from y'all (from the whopping 2 times we've been together) and they're things we probably wouldn't have learned on our own. (Like how Billy ALWAYS tells you how pretty you look...ya...Beau IS working on that thanks to Billhead!)

    Love y'all so so so much! Wishing you 2HUNDRED more years of bliss!!
