We met in June of 2007, dated for 7 months & got engaged - January 1, 2008. We were married on July 26, 2008 and welcomed our daughter, Kaitlynn Leane into the world on August 20, 2009. We said hello & goodbye to our precious son, baby Joshua on December 5, 2011. We are blessed knowing that we'll be with him again one day in Heaven. We also have two sweet beagles, Willa (4) and Sadie (1). God has truly blessed our family in numerous ways! We both have extremely wonderful and loving parents, plus amazing friends! We couldn't be any happier!

25th Birthday Weekend

This was a fabulous birthday weekend! Mark & Bridgette came to Atlanta Friday evening to spend the weekend with Kelly & I. Mark & I have always been with each other some how for every birthday! We have yet to experience a conflict that doesn't allow us to spend our birthday together. Very neat!

Friday night we stayed in & relaxed at home. Neither Mark, Bridgette, Kelly or I had seen 'Yes Man' so we rented that on On Demand - pretty funny! I, of course, fell asleep somewhere around 10:30 on the couch :) I never make it through a movie that late, especially after getting up at 5:00am that morning!

Saturday was a big day! I got up and made breakfast for everyone - we had sausage balls & cinnamon rolls!! Kelly, Mark, dad, and Chris left around 10:00am to play golf for the afternoon. Bridgette & I headed over to Angi's to drop Willa off for her play date with Makai. Bridgette was able to see Jackson for the first time and we spent some time catching up with Angi before she headed to Rome, GA. When we left, we headed to Polished Beauty Lounge for a pedicure!! I go to Polished about every 6 weeks and get their Barefoot at the Beach pedicure - it is so relaxing & amazing! Bridgette ended up getting my pedicure for me for my birthday so that was definitely a treat!! Kelly picked up Mark's golf tab for his birthday :) ANYWAYS - after our fabulous pedicure, we headed to Wal-Mart by Perimeter Mall where we found some VERY cute outfits for Kaitlynn & Elizabeth!! We also headed to Perimeter Mall to do some maternity shopping (my 1st time!!) and baby shopping for the upcoming girls :) We celebrated our stomach growth by enjoying some pretzel sticks from Auntie Ann's - the boys heard about this and were quite the jealous ones!! Our shopping trip was very successful! Here are some of the outfits we found for Kaitlynn and Elizabeth!! :) They need SOME matching outfits for pictures and such!


We headed back to Angi's to pick up Willa around 4:30, and then went home to relax before heading back out again for dinner & trivia at Vinings Grill. We had a great turn out - Chris & Angi, Kelly & I, Mark & Bridgette, Charles & Christy, Ginny & Zach, Vance & Janet, and Mrs. Erika :) It was a great crowd and wonderful food. I definitely enjoyed their queso dip, which ended up being my entire dinner!! I think I must have eaten the entire bowl - thanks Bridgette!

Sunday morning came and Kelly, Mark, Bridgette & I headed to Johnson Ferry around 8:30am for Sunday School & church! We had a great time and enjoyed having Mark & Bridgette join us!! We met dad & Zully for brunch at Vinings Grill :) It was amazing!! I had their french toast with powdered sugar, strawberries, & maple syrup! Pure bliss! We had a great time catching up with dad & Zully!

Sunday night came quickly - Kelly took me out to dinner to celebrate my birthday! I was in the mood for steak and really wanted to go to Hal's - they have the best steak in Atlanta! However, they are closed on Sundays :( So, Kelly & I did some research and chose a recommended place that we both had never been to! We ended up going to Ray's on the River - totally recommend going!! The experience was amazing and the food was wonderful! I had the Filet Mignon and Kelly had their Tuna! We were seated right at the window by the river so we were able to watch the sunset during dinner - thanks babe :) They also knew ahead of time that it was my birthday and we enjoyed a wonderful chocolate mouse pie on the house!! Chocolate mouse is definitely one of my favorites so it worked out absolutely perfect!! After dinner we walked along the river and took some pictures to remember our evening!


My birthday weekend wrapped up pretty quickly, but it was definitely a wonderful way to celebrate 25 years!!
