Memorial Weekend

Memorial Weekend has officially become my favorite holiday. What I most love about this "holiday" is the opportunity to bring so many friends together for a party...and reuniting with my college friends for a weekend of sunshine, bbqs, games, and laughter.

Celebrating TODAY!

Five years ago today, Chris and I were married at the Ocean Cliff in Newport. Despite all the excitement we've shared over these years together, this day - our wedding day - remains the happiest, most beautiful day of my life. I feel so blessed to have married such an amazing man, a caring and thoughtful father, an attentive husband, my best friend. This Fall we will celebrate 10 years of togetherness...which blows my mind. Here's to MANY more years of celebrating with the greatest love in my life.

Ode to my love

i love waking every morning

my true partner by my side

no matter how i'm feeling

in you i can confide

i love taking evening walks

playing ping pong too

i love hiking in the woods

with daddy, dean, and drew

i love that we are explorers

even without travel far

i love sitting in the living room

listening to you play guitar

i love nights out with our friends

or nights spent on our own

i love the family we created

and our beautiful home

i love that you are my partner

in the true sense of the word

i love that you can love me

even when i am absurd

i couldn't be more proud,

more happy or more blessed

and when we met 15 years ago

i never would've guessed

a friend i met in college

would be the love of my life

i want you to know

i'm so proud to be your wife
