A DUSTY ROAD

03.04.14
Hey Monday! While we had a rough start (cue hitting my alarm too many times), you treated me well. I’m currently hanging out with my husband and folks, watching my sweet pup, Piper, snuggle up to my dad as she falls fast asleep. Even though she’s over a year old, she is still such a baby. Scout, who will be two in May, is just the same. It’s been so neat to see their personalities develop and grow over time. They were definitely meant to be in our family! Do you have any fur babies? I would love to hear about them!

 

Two words — wedding band! *Sorry, I just had to.* I’ve been rocking my wedding bands (I have one that sits in front of my engagement ring too) for over a month now, which is crazy to think! I remember the day we picked out our wedding bands, and how exciting it was to be trying on a ring that would soon mean so much. I wanted something simple that would complement my engagement ring, and Scott wanted something comfortable and classic. We left the jewelry store happy and excited with his ring in hand (mine had to be resized). On Christmas day Scott surprised me with a second band that I had been wishing before, but had decided to wait on until my birthday, our first anniversary, or another exciting day in our life. He had another idea, though, and I’m so happy that he did. I can’t even tell you how many times a day I still catch myself looking at my engagement ring and wedding bands. I still can’t get over how lucky am! Thanks, husband, for asking me to be your wife!

Remember last week when I shared my thoughts on Teal Monday? Well, I’m still holding this to be true. While I may not be wearing teal today (although, light blue is close), I still rocked the Teal Monday vibes all morning and afternoon. I really like the idea of bringing positivity into a day that carries such a negative connotation, and while I may have my off days every once in awhile, it’s nice to focus on the positive and make every Monday (and every other day, for that matter) the best it can be. Did you rock the Teal Monday vibes with me today?

I posted this little story on Instagram earlier, but I thought it would be nice to share it here as well (because let’s be honest, my heart is still swooning and it’s too sweet not to share). So, five o’clock hit me hard today, so I told my sweet husband that I was going to make some coffee when I got home. Twenty minutes later when I walked in the door, there was an iced coffee waiting for me on the kitchen table. I truly am such a lucky lady to have such a thoughtful husband – he just gets met! Someone mentioned in a comment that coffee is clearly my love language, and I think she couldn’t be more right.
