five on friday

Apparently a twice a week pop-in is as good as it's going to get for me in the blogging department right now. I have the best intentions to blog in the evenings once Jaqs is in bed, but then I get busy doing other things & before I know it, it's 11 p.m. & I'm ready for bed again! Once football season starts back up, I'll have more spare time on my hands ;)

Anyway, I'm linking up with Darci & the other girls once again for Five on Friday! Love this link-up!

{one} Rob and I celebrated 5 years of marriage on July 5th! I truly cannot believe we've been married this long already, but the fact that we've been together for 10 is just mind-blowing. Seriously. I'm not old enough! ;) Ha. We were still in Abilene, so we got to go out for a little date once Jaqs went to bed thanks to my parents! True story: my dad made us take the kissy-kissy pic! 

{two} Jaqs has mastered the cheese, and if you ask for it, you're getting it. That big ol' smile makes me laugh every time! Can't get enough!!

{three} We've been having so much summer fun lately, and I'm just loving life. Also the reason for my neglected blog. Football season starts in less than 2 weeks, so we're about to be in for a serious reality check around here. Adjusting back to single parenting is so hard...hoping J takes it easy on me. 

water park fun with our buddies!

{four} I'm in the process of giving our living room a little update, so I've been looking for some new throw pillows (story of my life...for real). I found these on Groop Dealz the other day, and I just love the arrow print and colors! I got the Robin's egg blue & yellow, and I can't wait to get them! I've also finally started on the "play area" in the room, so I'm excited to share that with y'all soon!

{five} Do y'all watch Big Brother? This is another one of those shows I haven't watched in YEARS, but I'm hooked on it this summer! Who are you liking so far? I'm totally digging the Mom Squad, and I love Howard & Candice, too! Really hoping they pick the "cool" kids off one by one. They got a good start last night!

Hope y'all have a fun weekend! Other than the state 7 on 7 tourney and trying to keep from melting, we don't have a whole lot planned. I'm thinking there will definitely be swimming though because WHAT ELSE do you do when it's 105 outside?! Oy.

4 years!

Rob and I celebrated 4 years of wedded bliss yesterday! I'm so grateful to be married to my best friend and to be able to share this life with him. It may not always be perfect, but we are abundantly blessed, and I'm excited to see what our future holds!

July 5, 2008

newlyweds!

it almost fits! couldn't quite get it zipped over the feeders, if ya know what I'm sayin'

We went on our first solo date since baby came last night! Grammie and G-Pop were ready for us to leave I think ;) We had dinner at a steakhouse and McDonald's milkshakes for dessert. Those things really are the best. YUM!

oldy-weds

 We wanted to go to a movie, but we're lame, and the one we wanted to see wasn't playing until 10:30, (wow) so we hit up Red Box instead.

We had fun even if we did feel 70! ;)

love my baby and my baby-daddy

Of course we had to end the night with admiring our sleeping angel...is there anything sweeter than a peaceful baby? Melt my heart.

Thanks for babysitting Grammie & G-Pop!

Happy Anniversary Bobby! I love you to infinity and beyond. Here's to many more!

home-home

We've been lucky enough to get to spend some time home-home in Abilene this week, and we've had a lot of fun! Last Friday night Rob took his grandparents to Lubbock to see his brother graduate, so I third-wheeled it with my parents on their anniversary date.

They were celebrating 34 years!

Aren't they cute?

They are the greatest example to my brother and me of what marriage should look like, and we're so thankful to have grown up with them as our parents. 

I pray that we can do the same for our own children...it's the greatest gift.

On Saturday night, Rob and I went to the wedding of our friends Jay & Ashley!

dressed up & ready to go!

the gorgeous bride! she looked awesome.

my forever friend--anna

in case it isn't obvious, this is the bride's twin sister, Emily! love those girls.

After the wedding, we went to hang out with coaching friends still at Cooper. I can't remember whether I ever mentioned it or not, but one of the coaching families bought our 'old' house in Abilene, and that's where we hung out Saturday. It's always funny to go back into that house now because it feels like I should still be living there. We only lived there for about 5 months, after all! Anyway, it was fun to be with everyone again...we always have a good time with them! :) Plus, 3 of us are preggo, so there's lots of baby talk.

We're just hanging out and enjoying family and friends now! We're finished with Christmas shopping, and all the presents are wrapped. I'm so excited for Christmas this year! We even have a chance for snow on Christmas Eve! YAY!!
