Josef's Graduation Day!!
First, we picked up his AGGIE RING! Next, I asked him to pick his favorite spot on campus to visit before he walked the stage...he picked the Century Oak Tree ;)
Then it was off to Reed Arena to walk the stage - Whoop!
Later that night, we kicked off the Christmas holidays with a trip to Santa's Wonderland :)

*Snow Angel in August*

Although the temperature is averaging at approximately 100 degrees every day, I didn't have to travel far to capture the best "snow angel" in the whole world! While Josef prefers the title "abominable snowman", there is no debating how much Sebastian has provided refreshment and joy this summer. As I anxiously await Josef's return in just a little over a week, I wanted to pay a tiny tribute to my little guy, who is truly a gift from God. His loving spirit, constant energy, and puppy kisses have brought countless smiles during a season that seems anything but happy; hopefully these pictures will make you smile too :)
Here's to the best puppy ever - I love you bunny!



Half the time he's standing on two paws instead of four!



Pre-haircut...



All trimmed and looking extra tiny after his first trip to the groomer!



When he's out, he's out :)



Such a sweetheart ♥



Sebastian and I are soooo ready to see Josef! Just a few more days!!!

Happy 21st Birthday Sarah!

With Josef in Tunisia, I didn't have high expectations for my big 21st birthday, but the Lord really blessed me with friends and family who made sure my birthday weekend was extra special :)

A special delivery the morning of my birthday kicked off the celebrating. I was soooo surprised! I have the best husband in the whole world :)


For dinner it was off to Casa Rio with friends...


Have to order a Margarita...



































*Cutie Girls*


Next stop = Zuni grill for margaritas!




Later that night after chilling out at the hotel, Bekah, Lindley, and I had the sudden urge to "Just Dance" so we headed out to Acapulco Sams...Oh, the stories...






























































While waiting for our car, we had a little fun taking pictures around the hotel:
It was soooo beautiful!


Every celebrity that stays there signs a glass orange!!


They actually have a place called V bar - I love the letter V!


Mom, Dad, and I enjoyed a yummy dinner at Macaroni Grill - "Can I get some more of that bread?!" haha


Then it was home for cake!



So typical...


And then...another surprise from Josef! A sweet note and a much needed manicure!

Clearly, Sebastian was excited too!

Birthday kisses from one of my guys :)


Much more birthday celebrating to come...it's my birthday all month long!

One Year Anniversary!!!

As of this past Sunday, May 24th, we have been married for ONE YEAR!!! Although Josef had to leave for Tunisia the morning of our anniversary, we still managed to celebrate and have an incredible time!


We had the most romantic dinner and drive around town, it was the perfect night to put the top down!



We were able to enjoy the top tier of our wedding cake, which tasted like it was made yesterday, throughout our celebrating - hard to believe it was a year old!



We were further blessed to return for a stay at the Hotel Contessa where we had our reception!

The Lord worked things out for us to have a joyful time together before Josef's departure and we are oh so thankful!
