Gratitude Lately

Lately I'm thankful for secnic walks to the mailbox.

For front door surprises that turn into morning chirping a nest full of feathers.

For weekends spent with this handsome devil and how much our pup loves her daddy.

For cabin weekends full of sunsets and time spent around the table with the ones we love most.

For a thoughtful bestie who creates amazing mail days.

For finding hidden gems tucked into the deepest corner of Home Depot that make my porch happy.

For sister dates, cheersing and wine of the month club.

For a beast that is 10% bark and 90% cuddles.

For quiet patio mornings and tasty smoothie bowls.
And good books that makes me thankful to do life with my tribe.

Gratitude Lately

Lately I've been thankful for this guy, in all his freckly glory, and how hard he works every single day to bring home the bacon.

For Harry Potter at the symphony, good views, and unleashing my inner Gryffindor nerd.

For high majestic ceilings that make me want to lay on the floor in the middle of the train station.

For neighborhood ice cream shops and how they remind us that summer's a'coming!

For zoo days with these party animals (...and the live penguin cam for work days I wish I was zoo-ing.)

For colorful grocery store finds that lift my Monday blues.

For sisters who make even better besties.

For rainy days and awesome playlists.

For nights out on the town and really pathetic selfie attempts.

For walks with views.

For noshing on the best Mexi food in town.

And for boozy family dates that include grapefruit champagne cocktails

My Most Favorite Day

// Photo by Sharaya Mauck Photography //

Today over my lunch break I made a trip out to Parkville, Missouri (a quaint suburb of Kansas City where we got married) to run a few errands. While driving around the charming little town with my windows rolled down and an iced coffee in my hand, I was flooded with memories of my most favorite day.

The more I let the memories roll in, goosebumps just washed over my arms and I couldn't stop smiling. I couldn't help but feel overcome with so much joy and gratitude... I married the man of my dreams.

I still remember...

+ waking up next to my sissy with a stomach full of happy butterflies
+ lounging around and giggling all day while my best friends and I all got ready
+ the way Adam's face lit up when he saw me for the first time in my dress
+ feeling giddy (read: trying not to erupt in tears) as my dad walked me down the aisle
+ my mom's insanely sweet dance moves - stanky leg, y'all - and yes there is photo proof
+ having the time of my life on the dance floor
+ how much I wanted to eat our entire delicious coconut milk wedding cake
+ the feeling of being guided to our limo with my hand in Adam's ready to start our new life together
+ and how overwhelmed with love and gratitude we both felt to have our most favorite people with us

Today I'm grateful for...

+ drives that take me off the beaten path
+ memories that make it all seem like yesterday
+ how incredible my husband is and how much of a blessing marriage is in all seasons
+ and for the awesomely creative ways God shows me how much I am known, loved, and remembered, and the gratitude that freely brings


What are you thankful for today, sweet friends?

Lately I'm thankful for pretty latte art and good conversations on a rainy day.

For fancy Houston country club weddings with this piece of eye candy (and free champagne!).

For rustic tables and swirly coffee breaks (and non-judgment for my coffee obsession + additional coffee photo).

For cozy nights in jammers getting my tushy schooled at backgammon.

(he cheats.)

For surprise bottles of wine that appear on the kitchen counter and for our little birdy wedding cake toppers that remind us of our favorite day.

For superhero spousal patience while I pop in to my favorite sweet shop to indulge in the pretty {overly girly!} window display.

For the fun experience of my first blowout, complete with pink champagne, my favorite gals, and big Texas hair. And I'm talking big...

For my incredible friends that I am so lucky to have met through a local blogging group, and how they inspire me daily.

For this little sock-stealing snuggle monster.
