Our Lovely DIY Save the Dates!

I knew that I had to do something cute for our save the dates that was "us." I decided to use our engagement photos (some of which I even took myself with a tripod and remote!) and make cute overlays on them or generate a complete design all by myself! Not gonna lie, I got most of my basic ideas from Pinterest! However, I changed each on to fit our style and the style of our wedding! I came up with 10 designs total but decided to only use 9 of them in the end.

Corpus Christi, Texas & Surrounding Areas

The trip from Pensacola, FL to Corpus Christi, TX really is not all THAT long in the grand scheme of things but it sure seemed to go on forever. The drive is 733 miles following I-10 and it takes 12 hours.

Along the way we stopped in Mobile, Alabama to see the USS Alabama, the resident Battleship turned museum/tourist attraction. It was pretty awesome to see the ship along with the memorials they have outside of it. We couldn't stay long though because we had our little man, Iccabod, in the truck with us. It was worth the stop though!

My Scrapbook: The Pages So Far

I have always loved scrapbooking. I LOVE having "evidence" of all the great memories I make with the people I care about! I have made several in my lifetime, some which I no longer care to look at, but at least I have them in case I ever change my mind.

25 Days of Christmas

The first year we were dating I had this awesome idea to give my husband a gift a day each day in December leading up to Christmas. I have decided to try and do this for him again! So far I do not have any huge plans and I need to really get started! {Currently the day before Thanksgiving!} Yikes! Only a few days before I need to start!! So here goes nothing, The 25 Days of Christmas 2013.  ((Will Update as I Pull Together Ideas).

Project Life--The Details So Far

     Ok, so I have been looking into this whole Project Life thing and I cannot believe I have not heard about it before now! Normally, I do my scrapbooking in the traditional way by just occasionally going back and documenting the important events in our lives. Trips, holidays, big events, etc. However, with project life, you go week to week and document things from each week as you go throughout the year. How fun!

Our Newest Addition {Save a Life: Adopt a Shelter Pet Today!}

     My husband and I both grew up with plenty of critters in our lives. Back in Indiana, at our parents' homes, he has 2 dogs and a cat while I have at my dad's 10 horses, 4 dogs, and 10+ barn cats and at my mom's 4 dogs and 1 cat. Yes, that's a lot of critters! I also grew up with an even wider variety from corn snakes to iguanas to tanks full of fish. I was very fortunate to have parents that loved animals as much as I did and allowed me to save all the strays I brought home.

Yeah, Random, I Know!

     So, I wanted to start this blog to keep track of everything that happens to my little family as the Navy sends my hubby everywhere and back. It is, however, going to be a little more than that! Yes, I'm still going to write about where we go, where we have been, and all of that good stuff but I also want to write about some of my other interests.
