Family Beach Week

Every year, my grandmother looks forward to her week at the beach where she has the majority of her family all around her. As people have gotten married and moved farther away, our numbers have dwindled, but she is thankful for whatever she gets! We had an exceptionally good time this year. Sadly, Andrew, Todd and I could only stay for the weekend, but a great weekend it was! Aunt Janis' birthday happened to fall on Saturday, so we went to Steve's Landing to celebrate + had a cake when we returned to the cabin.

Anniversary Dinner

I'm quite behind in posting, but Andrew and I had a wonderful night for our First Anniversary! He made reservations (I don't give him enough credit always for planning ahead for these things) at Del Frisco's. Now, those of you near the DFW know exactly what a treat this place is. They just opened a Houston location a couple of months ago and it was delicious!! We'd like to thank our waiter Jason for taking the only picture we have from the event!

one great year

one year ago today, I started life alongside my best friend. to the love of my life, Andrew, here's a tribute to you, who can always make me smile... it's been a great year! (scroll to the bottom of the page and pause the playlist to hear the slideshow music)

tag. you're it.

I guess you can consider yourself truly part of the "blogger world," ready or not, when you get tagged. I am now "official," as Lauren has tagged me. I can't break the cycle, so here goes!

The rules of the “meme”:
1. List your top ten favorite films (in no particular order).
2. If you're tagged, you've got to post & tag 3-5 other people.
3. Give a tag back (some link love) to the one who tagged you in your post
4. Give a hat tip (HT) to Dan.

Top Ten

1. Father of the Bride II
