New Year Blogging Party

I'm linking up over at the New Year Blogging Party, hosted by The Crowley Party, Casey Leigh, and Changing Lanes.

We signed up and got paired up with someone to get to know and send a little care package to! Now we're all posting what received, and a little about the person who sent it to us...

I was paired up with Desiree from Mama and Her Boys, who sent me this precious

It's so sweet and dainty, and I love it! I've worn it so much already.

The name of Desiree's blog fits her well as she has two little boys that keep her busy. She likes to have fun with her family on the weekends finding lots to do in their town of San Francisco. They mostly like to find new eating places, as well as go to parks and the zoo! Desiree also likes to cook as her hobby (I sent her a new cookbook!) and enjoys blogging to share her experiences as a wife/momma/student!

Go visit her at her blog, she's lovely!!

A Happy Girl

I truly believe this phrase. This has been a year full of wonderful blessings, and I'm glad to be a happy girl. God has given me many reasons to be happy on a daily basis, one of them being my husband.

The day Jerry and I met, my world changed. He has been there for me through a lot, and through it all, we've laughed and had joy. Whenever he comes home from work everyday, I get excited and know that my best friend just walked through the door. 

I also have a great family that gives me so much happiness.

And behind every happy girl lies a great friend, or two, or six. :)

I love these two boys so much!



My oh-so-cute puppies, Bentley and Rocky.

So today put on the prettiest thing that you could, a smile, and ...

Rehearsal Dinner

We had so much fun on our rehearsal dinner night. It was filled with family, food and friends...

The gerbera daisies on all of the tables were so pretty. It was a blast too going that morning with my mom to get them all!

We love our friends!

Yummy mexican food.

My sweet grandparents.

And this would be my adorable niece...she's just so stinkin' cute!

F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Addi loves flowers. She even puts her little nose up to them, wrinkles it a bit and makes a sniffing noise.

She also loves Memaw.

Here are some of the wedding party gifts.

I made the cards using an embossing technique.
