Seven years in Duet

Matt and I were married seven years ago today.

Every day I'm thankful to have him by my side.

I look forward to seven more years.

And seven more after that...

A few photos from the day we vowed to each other "hey, I want to wake up next

to you every day for the rest of my life!" :

Sweet Caroline, you were only seven years old in this photo!

Matt wrote me a sweet little letter, which I read before the ceremony.

Both my mom and Matt's mom had daisies in their wedding bouquets,

so I thought it'd be cool to have some daisies in mine too :)

My mom walked me down the aisle (since my dad was gone already).

I love you mom.

Together. Forever.

Our wedding party.

We gave all of our guests a tree sapling as a gift.

Many people still have these trees growing in their yards to this day!

This is a good photo to post to represent the 'end' of the reception...

It feels like this was just yesterday...

I love you Matt!

Mr. & Mrs.

I'm a huge fan of putting together gift baskets. I think it's fun to find things that "fit" together when creating a basket.

Well...my brother got engaged last weekend to his girlfriend Chris (congratulations you two!) so I put together a quick little basket for them today :)

Somehow, in between nursing Chloe/changing diapers/wiping Liam's booger nose for the 100th time/etc, I found a bit of time to run to the grocery store this afternoon. I got everything I needed in one quick stop. I'm sure I could have found some better things to throw in the basket (had I gone to Target or Shopko) but I did the best I could perusing the grocery aisles...

What's a gift basket without beer and/or liquor?

Beer for my bro. Wine for Chris.
