A Letter to My Hubs On Our Anniversary

Oh what a happy day it is!

2 years ago I married the man of my dreams and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't wake up thankful for the blessing of his unconditional love. 

Don't get me wrong, we have been through so many ups and downs together in the last 6 years. We've learned (and keep learning) how much work marriage is, but rich is the reward and I wouldn't want to work at it with anyone else. 

It's funny to think about how much I thought I knew/loved him back then, but each year just keeps getting better. My love for Adam only continues to grow deeper, and what adventures we have lying ahead!

Dear Adam Trembley,

Thank you for teaching me that...

+ happily ever after is a choice
+ it's okay to eat cold pizza for breakfast
+ some of life's greatest joys are the simple things
+ no matter how many days (weeks?) we leave clothes in the dryer, they can always be re-fluffed for the 3rd time without judgment
+ grace will always be given even if I've had to apologize four times before noon
+ your primary love languages are sour patch kids and scalp massages 
+ any day is redeemable, it just takes the willpower to turn it around
+ hugs (and good beer) cure any bad day
+ some days are just meant for staying in our jammers and sipping coffee with the windows open
+ when we dream together anything is possible
+ cinnamon toast crunch is totally acceptable as a complete meal
+ there is always beauty in imperfection, you just have to find it.

So thankful for you and for how you love me so well, today and everyday.
Love you. This truly is happily ever after!

Happy Anniversary, my love.

Celebration Time + Weekend Wishes

Raise your hand if you're overly ready and excited for the weekend...
Yay! Me too. Like big time...
Fridays always make me super happy, but especially today. Birthday weekend has arrived and I'm ready to have a reason to just celebrate with friends and family! We've got quite the celebration agenda.

Friday

Tonight, we are rounding up the gang to hit the town for a swanky dinner, and then we're heading back to Adam's house for yummy German chocolate cake and drinks! I wouldn't be shocked if we rocked out to Spice Girls Pandora station and broke out beer/wine pong for a fun evening with tons of my favorite people! If catch phrase was included I wouldn't hate it... just saying.

Saturday

Tomorrow morning, I am heading out to breakfast with the world's greatest group of small group girls. They crack me up, so a little brunch (while clad in yoga pants and a messy pony) will be such a fun way to start the morning!

Saturday night, we're headed back over to Adam's house with our crazy k-state friends to watch the big game. I'm planning to be overly ambitious and make tasty Wildcat themed purple sugar cookies. I know... I'm just out of control.

I'm super pumped about Sunday! Bud (Adam's "pet" name) and I are headed to lovely Crate & Barrel to begin our wedding registry. Shockingly, we're both way too excited - we love C&B!


Sunday

Sunday evening is church with our little church family, and then enjoy a relax night... and probably some Christmas decorating! Ahh!


Monday - Birthday Time!
I took Monday off (which is my actual birthday)and the entire week of Thanksgiving. So I am planning to sleep in, get in a nice workout to start year 26 off right, and then my little sis is coming into town for a Breaking Dawn - Part 2 date with me! So excited!

That evening, Adam is taking me out on a birthday dinner date, and then I will probably request to watch a Christmas movie. Yes, I know Thanksgiving hasn't hit yet. And yes, I listen to Christmas music all year round, so Christmas is always acceptable in my book! ;)


Thanksgiving Week

Heading home with sissy on Tuesday after she gets out of class. I'll be in Wichita celebrating Thanksgiving with family until after Black Friday shopping! Then I'm driving back to KC to catch a flight out to Phoenix for several days with Adam and his fam. Meredith, my almost sister-in-law's 2nd wedding reception is that Saturday!

.:::.:::.:::.:::.:::.

So anyway, I'll be around next weekend!! Be prepared to join me on my birthday for some Mingle Monday time! I have lots of great posts lined up!

I will also be having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale over at my Cozy Couture - Custom Crochet Headwraps Etsy shop!

What are you crazy kids up to this weekend?! :)

Dear Love...

Dear Love, today you turn 28...
I can hardly believe you were only 25 when I first met you that August night. My, where have the years gone? We've made so many wonderful memories together in these last few years that I will cherish for a lifetime.

So thankful that I've had the joy of celebrating you for 3 birthdays now, Buddy! Even though the years keep climbing, you're looking younger every day! ;)








Here's to you...

My best friend. My shoulder to cry on. My adventure buddy. My sunshine on a rainy day. My dependable protector. My dessert spliter. My forever optimist. My Disney movie lover. My boogie man checker-outer. My spiritual leader. My hand to hold. My handsome jokester. My laughter on a bad day. My forehead kisser. My great listener. My smile that makes me melt.

My chivalrous gentleman. My sports enthusiast. My loving encourager. My Saturday donut date. My face full of freckles. My family man. My sour jacks eater. My kid at heart. My selfless giver. My red-headed wonder. My snuggle buddy. My beer connoisseur. My knight in shining armor. My forever "wubber".
My other half.


I will love you forever and always, and couldn't feel more blessed and loved to have you. Life is forever more beautiful when you're by my side.


Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.

Birthday Weekend Snapshot

Alright ladies, I'm headed out for the weekend!
Saturday is my big 25th birthday (yes, quarter of a century!), and I have some big plans over the next few days! I couldn't be more thankful to my friends, family, and co-workers for already making me feel so special, celebrated and loved this week, and my big day sin't even until Saturday!

Spoiled? Yup.

Here's a little snapshot of birthday fun to come...





{Thursday} Sushi dinner with BF + friends tonight at a swanky/trendy sushi bar in Town Center. Cupcakes by my favorite bakery, Cupcakes a la Mode, and wine to follow at mi casa... can't wait!!


{Friday} Coffee date + early morning Breaking Dawn showing with my sweet friend, Karen! I've been waiting a solid year to see this Twilight wedding and I'm about to pee my pants... anyone else? BF and I leave for his parents cabin to celebrate my birthday this weekend - we love roadtrips!


{Saturday} Sleeping in + movies + puppy snuggles + breakfast + long walks + board games + great company... what more could a girl ask for?


{Sunday} We're headed to Wichita to see my parents and my little sister for my birthday festivities. I have already received a text asking what birthday dessert I would like. My choice? I asked for a surprise! Spontaneity is the spice of life right?

.:::.:::.:::.:::.

I definitely don't need any presents. I will gladly accept a day that's full of kisses, glitter, puppy dogs, ice cream, and fun. Yup, just call me low-maintenance.


Happy early weekend, Dolls!

Fiesta Time!!

Grab your sombreros, it's time to party!
Happy Cinco de Mayo, dolls! What a fun day to celebrate the rich culture and history of Mexico.

Every Thursday night is our designated, wonderful, wouldn't-miss-it-for-the-world date night. So naturally I couldn't pass up the opportunity to celebrate with BF in the best way possible...





{ I plan to eat copious amount of this... }





{ while I enjoy one [pitcher?] of these... }




{ find a bakery that sells these... }




{ and wish I was on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta... }




{ ...when BF and I are really here after our dinner date... }




.:: How do you plan on celebrating? ::.
