One Year

I can't believe that my hubby and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on Sunday. It seems like just yesterday we were saving and getting ready for our big day! My how time flies. We have accomplished so much in just a year. We bought our townhome, got married, traveled out of the country for the first time for our honeymoon, and a few weeks later we found out we were pregnant with our first child! Then came Decemeber where I finished up student teaching and graduated from Purdue Cal! Next thing you know were decorating a nursery and welcoming our first born on May 14th, all before celebrating our first year of marriage! I couldn't imagine sharing this life with anyone else :)

 A year later...

I don't know where I'd be without you here with me, 

life with you makes perfect sense, you're my best friend.

We have grown so much in a years time. I fall more in love with Dave as time passes, especially seeing him as a Daddy to our sweet Toby. I could stare at them together all day! I am so blessed to have such a loving, caring, funny, and hardworking man as my husband. We often talk about how much we have grown up together as individuals and a couple. We have been together since our junior year in highschool, almost 7 years. We have stuck by eachothers sides through the really good times as well as the really bad times. We have been tested and retested but no matter what we always stand by each other. I can't picture life without him and I am so excited for our future together! I love you with all of my being! Happy one year of being married baby :)

Toby David

I've been wanting to blog for quite some time now. I have always enjoyed free writing and expressing myself through words. As I lie here next to my sweet Toby David, staring at this beautiful little human my hubby and I created, I couldn't help but be inspired to start this blog. 

Those sweet baby coos and snores, the wiggles and giggles in your sleep, the innocence and peace on your face. I could stare at you while you sleep all day. Sometimes I smile and sometimes I cry (happy tears of course) because of the beautiful blessing in front of my eyes. I thank God for you everyday, my sweet Toby David. 

I am so incredibly lucky to wake up next to my sweet boy every morning. God has truly blessed me. All of my life I was always sure of one thing and that was being a mama. I was blessed to have found my soul mate at the young age of 16, marry him at 22, and give birth to our first child a month before turning 23. Nothing can compare to this love I have for our sweet Toby. I always knew I would love my child very much because I love children in general. But, I never imagined I could love someone so much. Don't get me wrong, I love my hubby with all of my being, it's just a different kind of love. A love that I am so blessed to know and feel. I now understand how my mama feels about my siblings and I, and boy do I want to kick myself for the way I treated her as a preteen and teen now. Love you mama :)

My goal for this blog is to post at least once a week, yes I'm sure it will mostly be related to the topic of Toby. One day Toby and my future children will be able to look back on this blog and see my thoughts about them and our crazy life and world around us!

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more :)
