Much Needed Family Time!

Oh How I wish we could go back!!! We <3 the Beach!!!

Thanks to my Wonderful friend, T.. We stayed in the most amazing condo ate the most fabulous seafood and made the best family pictures that our little family has ever made!

I love every single thing about the Beach. The Sand, The Sun, The way the Ocean smells, The sounds of waves crashing, that cool/warm breeze coming off the water. The constant aroma of tanning oil, babies/children laughing and the way that you never look at a clock or watch pretty much the whole time your there. I just love it! Everything about it. This vacation meant so much to us. I can't really explain it, but we needed it so much. This was hands down the most amazing vacation we've ever had. We have plans in the works to go back and I can't wait!!!!

I didn't do a formal post for my anniversary, so here's one that is short and sweet...
I have been married to the love of my life for 9 years- March 10th. I can't explain our relationship so here' s some quick facts about us:
He makes me laugh so hard my face hurts
We are both Hypochondriacts (sp?)
He always writes the same thing on any b'day, anniversary or card in flowers.. "Love Matt" and not a word more!
He has my back in every single way, even when I'm wrong.
We have found each other, took the walk, dealt with heartaches and Blessings, Held babies, Rocked angels, Smiled together, Cried together, Prayed together and loved each other unconditionally for the last 9 years and I cannot wait, to spend the rest of my life with this man. I love you Matt!!!!
I love him so much and I couldn't ever imagine not being married to him. I can see us when we are 80, a yard full of Grandchildren rocking on the front porch and me looking over at him and thinking, It's all because of us. It may not have always been easy, but having you being beside me, Made it Us. Our Story, Our Lives, Our Family!!!
So, basically these pictures were special for us. Thank You to my Beautiful Bestie Terri for shooting these for us, They are more incredible than I could've asked for. They are perfect!
Our Family stayed in Gulf Shores which was only about 10 minutes from us, We are such an Extremely close family. Here are some shots of them..
The most wonderful nephews that any Aunt could EVER ask for.
 
Brother & Sister in Laws..
Beautiful Aunt Bessie..
Mamaw & Papaw
 
Terri, Ricky, Kaylee, Bryson & Davi
I love these children so much!!
Princess Davis Maria..
Gorgeous Kaylee Elizabeth
Beautiful Mr. Bryson

Do You LOVE Shrimp??

Wednesday 12 May 2010 at 4:01 pm

These Beautiful ladies do.. probably their favorite food actually, And the best part is.... They told me they loved me more than Shrimp as they were leaving! Too Funny! I loved it! They have the most adorable personalities and a lot of energy! I kept telling them they should be models.. See for yourself. Thank you to Sweet Heather for bringing them.

 You're family is so precious and so is Sweet Cinnamon!  I can"t wait to see the girls again, Give them smooches for me! XOXO ~ Amber


Another One Bites the Dust..

The tone for the day... "Take it all in"... and that is exactly what we did. One of my best friends, Terri married her fiance Ricky several months ago. God love her, she's so patient.. My poor friends, they are always the last to get their pix. And I love and thank them for being so understanding. This was the first wedding that I was in and shot. I absolutely loved every minute of it from the planning, parties & showers, pictures, dresses, cake tastings, music shopping, various appointments and yes, MELTDOWNS.. LOL.. It was one of the most wonderful moments in my life and I was so glad to share this special time with her.

 I love her so much and thank her for being a wonderful friend to me. This was one of the most fun days of my life and the reception.. WELL, I think they speak for themselves.. it was AMAZING! Everything was perfect...
Funniest Dance of the Night! Briging it back Old School! (Mrs. Stidham & Ricky's BFF "The Buzz"
The Gift.. (Generation Ring)

Terri, Thank you for chosing me to share in your day. Thank you for allowing me to stand beside you and Thank You for simply being my friend and loving me the way you do!


Happy Birthday Bestie!!

Friday 09 April 2010 at 08:19 am

I have always heard that you are blessed beyond measure to have one true best friend in your entire lifespan. Fortunately God has blessed me with several.

 (The pic below is the gang minus a couple!)

I honestly don’t know what I would do without my girlfriends, they just “get me“.. In a giggly, random thought process, call to say nothing really, lets go eat Chips and Salsa and blow our diet because its Wednesday kind of way.. I love them so much and I am so thankful to have my girls in my life.. It just so happens that one of them is turning 30 today. I had to write this blog about her because I want her to know just how much she means to me. I have thought about what I would say in her Birthday wish for quite some time now and have decided to share a little about my Best Friend, My Sister, Stephanie Marie Brock.. I love you with all my heart Sista! You are my oldest friend, I may not have had you for the whole 30 years, but the past 17 have been the Best!!

Happy Birthday Honey!!!

  • I was there the day her first born came into this world. And I was in the delivery room with her second. Both days I remember exactly what I wore and how I felt. I remember every single second of those days.
