2 years

Today is 2 years....I can't believe I am saying that.

I know I know 2 years isn't that long....in some ways it feels that way and in other ways it feels longer than that.

Here are just a few pictures to commemorate it :). 

Our wedding day...it was a gorgeous day!

Brown County....one of our favorite places to visit in the fall!

We make it an annual trip! 

 And our Cubbies! We have plans to go in May to watch them!!

Happy Anniversary Noah...thank you for everything you do for me!

P.S. I'm linking with with Erika & Ashley for Tuesday Talk!

A once a month link-up where we can talk about anything :). 

Show & Tell Tuesday

It's Show & Tell Tuesday again and you get to see me in high school!!!

I am also linking up with Sweet Little Ones for Tuesday Talk!

 

 

 

I didn't really know where to start other than FaceBook for some great pics!! I only chose a few and my close girlfriends will appreciate all of these pictures because they are in them!!

Hmm...I forget what year this was but we went to National Beta Convention in Nashville, TN and we had a blast!

These 7 ladies were in my year 4 Spanish class (yes 8 girls) and we talked our teacher and prinicpal into letting us go on a field trip. We headed to Indy and got breakfast at a Spanish cafe, ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant, and headed to the Indy Zoo!!

My senior prom and my sister got to go as a sophomore :)

 

My senior year I decided to cheer...random I know, but I loved it!!! I wish I would've cheered all 4 years!

 

Dress up week!!!

#recycleday

 

Senior cheerleaders :)

And these two happen to be first cousins and 4th cousins to me...we are still best friends to this day!

 

 

My junior year I decided to try out for the Lionette team...and I made it!!

We danced at every home high school (boys) basketball game and each dance was different.

We danced to MJ :)

 

And I don't remember what dance this was but there were 6 junior dancers that year :)

 

Volleyball sectional senior year (we didn't play) and the dress-up theme was Halloween costume :)

Spanish class (one of them) junior year.

 

 

Ahh...softball man do I miss these days!

 

Our junior year we advanced to regional and our senior year we made it to semi-state. It was a great run and I am so thankful I got the privilege to play this sport!

 

I played right field :) And loved it!

 

Love my bestie :)

 

I think this was junior year also...look how little he was!!

 

Our junior year Megan (one of the twins) ran for Beta President, I'll be in trouble if I got that wrong, and she won!!! Her skit was "stick with the twin" and we used the doublemint song!

 

 

It was so fun to share (some) my high school years and look back at them!

I can't wait to see everyone else's high school years!

That weekend I forgot to post about...

So I love linking up with Andrea but I didn't feel like I could contribute to today's linkup so I decided to blog about a weekend I never blogged about....

 

.....it was more than a month ago so details may be a little scarce!

 

I'll linkup with Jessica & Katie for Tuesday Talk!

 

 

 

One weekend (I think) in June our high school boys basketball team had a summer tourney in Linton and since Noah is on the coaching staff (and my BIL wanted to watch the team) we headed that way with this little guy in tow...

 

We watched a couple of games in the morning and then we ate lunch at J Seven Sports Grille and it was yummy!!

 

 

 

 

He loved looked at himself in the camera :) He is way bigger than this now!!

 

Basketball wears a little boy out!

 

 

 

 

I had to be home by 330 or 4 for a parade but we made time for ice cream on the way out of Linton!

 

 

I used to still work part-time some for a pharmacy in my hometown and we had our Summerfest that weekend. Our store decided to enter into the parade and we had so much fun!!!

 

Love her and her babies :)

 

 

....so we rode scooters and looked summer-y!

 

We won judges' choice!!!!

 

Then we had dinner at Bradley's to celebrate!!

 

Sunday (I think) was Father's Day and we had Noah's side of the family over for dinner!

 

Yummy grilled hotdogs, hamburgers, and brats :)

 

An intense game of horse/pig!

 

 

 

 

Noah plays on a golf league once a week with one of his friends but he couldn't go that day so I tagged along :)

 

 

Next time I'll bring a book to read!

 

Tomorrow I'm telling you about our trip to Saint Louis :) 

Tuesday Introductions

So I've been blogging since January-ish and I have never formally introduced myself.  Last week Jessica and Katie commented on my post and asked me to join them for Tuesday talk! I decided to give it a whirl and let the blog world know a little bit about me :) 

I'm Blake, I am 22 years old, and live in a small town in southern Indiana.  I love Jesus Christ and it isn't always easy being a Christian with the ways of the world. My parents raised me a Christian and to love Jesus. I am so thankful to have found a man who loves Jesus just as much as I do! I recently got married (3 months ago) to Noah and he is the love of my life! 

We were dating 8 months when he popped the question and then were married 4 months later :) 

I work at a hospital in the billing department. We just bought a house and have almost have everything situated. We are loving this low key life and figuring out marriage! 

I am a coffee lover, every morning before work. I love books and almost always have my nose in one :) 

I am a newly found Nordstrom lover :) I am addicted to shopping and love helping others with fashion. (Ask my friends :) 

These 6 people are so important to me! We didn't grow up with grandparents on one side and so we have become so close! I love growing up with these people :) 

My family and friends mean THE WORLD to me!! I would not be who I am today without these people in my life! These 5 girls above have been my friends since kindergarten and I am so thankful for each and everyone of their friendships! 

I am sure there are more things but I cannot think of them right now :/
