Happy 2nd Anniversary



I can't believe its been 2 years since we got married! Time has flown by and we have experienced many big changes in that time. We decided to move to Atlanta and we had a baby!
Happy Anniversary Mike, I love you so much and can't imagine my life without you. You make me a better person and you gave me our precious Addison! You are my best friend and my world! I love you always.

Chateau Elan

This weekend Mike surprised me with a day trip to Chateau Elan. Its a winery, Inn and Spa about an hour outside of Atlanta. I was surprised with a day of relaxing and being pampered in the spa! It was so nice! Mike and Addison explored the property while I was having treatments done. We all had lunch together and then ended the day with a tour of the winery and a tasting! It was so beautiful and nice. Thank you babe, you are a wonderful husband! I love you very much!

COLORADO HERE WE COME...

Our first family trip was to Steamboat Springs for my cousin Phil's wedding! Addison did fabulous on her first plane ride. I was all prepared to try and feed her on take off and landing to help pop her ears from the pressure but she slept the entire way. She didn't make a peep! Way to go Addie!

So much fun and I was the only one to fall...

Before we left Colorado we stopped in Denver and spent a night with Mike's Uncle Mike. It was great spending time with him. Sorry no pictures:(

On to Los Angeles....

We headed to LA to stay at a beautiful ocean front resort in Rancho Palos Verde called Terranea. It was an incentive trip for Mikes work. We both had time in the spa and by the pool. We had a nice casita on the property with a kitchen so we were able to relax and be with Addison in the room when needed.

My 30th birthday happened to fall during our stay in LA and I was surprised with Meghan and Trevor popping in to join us for the weekend! It was a fabulous surprise and so much fun spending time with them. Thank you guys for coming to celebrate my 30th with me! You and wonderful friends and we love you so much!

Off on a little walk around the beautiful property

Next stop....Scottsdale!

We decided since we were on the west coast we might as well stop at home! It is always great being back at home but this also allowed us to introduce Addison to some more family and friends.

Happy Birthday to Mike! We celebrated his 33rd birthday while we were in AZ.

Thank you to Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Drew for coming the AZ especially to meet Addison! It was great to see them, even though they really only wanted to see Addison. Not Mike and I so much:)
