Fifteen - Love Your Abode

Today, we celebrate fifteen years of marriage!

I couldn’t let the day pass without saying Happy 15th Anniversary to my husband. We have pretty much grown up together and are still learning what it means to do this beautiful thing called marriage. Fifteen years have gone quickly and it’s one filled with tons of memories, joys, struggles and lots of laughter.

Yup, he has still kept all the weight off!! #lookingfine

We went out last night and celebrated with dinner and then went to the Fox to watch Rent. Thanks to my sweet SIL, Linda for buying us the tickets!

Thanks, Jules for taking these pics!

We ate at Poor Calvins which is located pretty close to the theatre and it was DELICIOUS! I ordered the seafood stir fry with coconut brown rice and it was divine. It contained all of my favorite seafood including huge scallops, half a lobster tail, shrimp, octopus and calamari. YUM! Look at Jimmy’s! He ordered the very popular fried chicken with lobster mac and cheese.

Then, we treated ourselves to this gigantic bigger than your face dessert because #treatyoself. It was a toasted pound cake with banana foster and all other kinds of magic thrown onto the plate.

Thankful to raise these kiddos with you.

Ha, this photo cracks me up!

Today is our anniversary but Jimmy is letting me attend a blogger conference the rest of the weekend in Atlanta. Last night, we talked about the last decade and how my season has been changing in the last year from being a full time stay at home mom to becoming a full time designer/blogger. Being a stay at home for 10 years was a gift and I’m so thankful I was awarded that opportunity with my kids. It was hard especially as they were little but looking back, it was in those very mundane moments, God was refining my heart. In was in those moments, my passion and gifts started to grow and flourish. God gave me the freedom to explore something I would never have dreamed I would do.

Thanks, babe for always being my biggest cheerleader and for encouraging me to dream big and go for those dreams. Thanks for believing in me when I was doubtful and pushing me to stretch my own limits so I could explore the depths of my own creativity. You are one a million and God’s precious gift to me.
