Spotlight Sundays: The DIY Bride

Welcome to the inaugural post of Spotlight Sundays! These posts are meant to share something awesome I came across in the past week and want to share. Plus it's an awesome little pick me up when you're at work on Monday morning procrastinating. (I promise I won't tell your boss)

This post is dedicated to the DIY Bride:

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love me some DIY, Martha Stewart, Etsy and anything that gets you down and dirty in creative-ness. With that said, you can imagine my excitement when I came across:

Happy Sunday!

This love is ours...

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.” {Douglas Adams}

Never in a million years did I think that this is where I was suppose to be. There was a plan for me. High school.College. Job. Marriage.Kids. But I've never been one for plans really, which is why I wasn't surprised that my life has taken the turns it has. There was on surprise I didn't count on. And that was meeting Greg.

At first, I didn't think he liked me. He barely talked, kept minimal eye contact and only responded with few sentences. It felt like I was pulling teeth!He always says I was texting the whole time. In my defense, I was reassuring my sister that I wasn't being kidnapped by a weirdo. Somehow deep down, I had this feeling. The feeling that this would be {my last first date}.

Almost two years later & things haven't changed. He still gives me butterflies and I somehow haven't driven him crazy. It seems like no matter how bad things got, God wouldn't let us break it. He is the surprise I always prayed for.

Now whether or not we make it to the golden years, sitting side by side in rocking chairs on the porch, is up to God. But I know one thing is for sure. I'm grateful for the moments where I can look into his eyes and realize that not only do i have a best friend but I have the love of a man who makes me want to be a better person.

Merry Christmas to the best present! {That I get every single day}

My Boo

So this week is dedicated to my little peanut, My future partner-in-crime, Jah Jah Bean!! (Legal Name: Elijah Andrew)

It has been a wonderful year watching him grow up from looking sightly like E.T. to a walking, talking little tornado with a color coordinated wardrobe. [Thanks to Momma's OCD :::True Story::: ]

As I've spent the last couple of days with him, i cant help but feel grateful for him. He's God's pint size reminder to always laugh, enjoy the small moments and rejoice in the "firsts of life".

To my munch: Titi loves you boo!! <3
