Chris and I had a wonderful Saturday working around the house. He worked so very hard in the yard all day today - mowing the grass, weed-eating, blowing, replacing pine needles, pulling weeds, etc. But my favorite thing that he did today was plant a flower bed around our mailbox! It's so pretty!







We hung out with our friends at the Kannapolis Intimidators baeball game tonight! It was our first baseball game since we moved to Charlotte! It was super fun and always a good time when we get to be with our peeps :)







The best part of the weekend is that Carolina Panthers pre-season football started today! They began their pre-season playing against the Indianpolis Colts (one of my top 3 teams). We are SO excited that NFL season is finally here!!! This year, the Panthers are gonna be awesome . . . I just KNOW it!!

5 Year Wedding Anniversary

We just got back from a fabulous vacation in Ocean Isle Beach. We absolutely love it there! It's our 3rd trip to OIB and it never seems long enough! We spent our days sunbathing on the beach, wading in the water, reading, relaxing, sightseeing, eating fantastic seafood and really enjoying being together! It was our 5 year wedding anniversary (on 8/2) and we had a great time reminiscing about the last 5 years. What an adventure we have been on together - certainly more than we ever expected - but we wouldn't trade it for the world. We have learned so much about each other and helped each other grow as individuals and as spouses. We are very blessed to still be in love as much as we are after all we've been through together - the Lord is to thank for that! Below are some pictures from our trip. There were also a handful of quotes we thought were worth blogging about. I can only remember two of them right now: "Hey, at least we're saving money on tips this weekend." and "I can pretty much guarantee that it'll be awesome!"

Enjoy the pics from our anniversary weekend in Ocean Isle!!!
