Check out my latest post on Austin Moms Blog HERE! Talking about the qualities in Alex that attracted me to him. 

Today Alex and I are celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary!  Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to have a great marriage with a man that is kind, ambitious, loving, strong, and can put up with my crazy self.  I truly believe that God uses marriage to show you the absolute worst qualities about yourself, but blesses us through that so that we can learn, grow, and become a better person.  

I am beyond excited to become parents together. Alex has always wanted to be a Dad, and I know he is going to be amazing. If we have a girl, he's going to spoil the heck out of her, and I'm 100% sure he will cry the first time she goes to prom (he cries when we watch Johnson & Johnson baby commercials). And if we have a boy...well, let's just say he's going to teach him how to do Everything!


The best part about marriage is having a best friend.  Alex and I are so extremely goofy and have the most random conversations when we're alone. I can only imagine what someone would think if they were a fly on the wall. We are both dreamers, and I always enjoy talking to him about the places we've been in life and the places we will go.  I feel like we have done so much in the past 2 years, I can't imagine what the next 50 are going to look like.

Today we're celebrating Alex's 24th birthday and his first official day at Apple.  He had to chug some NyQuil before bed to sleep through the night...he's a bit excited. We're going to celebrate with some Greek food & a store bought cake ; ) Here's to a great week!

Ich liebe dich!

I'm extremely proud of my husband Alex, because he chased his dream and it finally came true.  If you know Alex, you know that he's obsessed with Apple, Inc.  He pretty much wakes me up every morning with a new Apple fact.  Anytime anyone has trouble with their Mac or iPhone, he's the one to call.  We own their stock, read their books, and love their products.  Now, he can officially say he is an Apple employee.  He's applied numerous times this past year, but nothing stuck....but then one day it did.  He met the right person at the right liquor tasting (Yes, that's right...we've both gotten our jobs through meeting someone at a liquor tasting).  So, if you need a job, I highly recommend you hang around liquor stores ; ) I truly believe that hard work pays off, and Alex works his butt off every day.  He would get discouraged sometimes when he tried so hard and nothing good seemed to come out of it, but I always reminded him that we reap what we sow.  Be honest, loyal, and loving to people and the Lord will one day bless you.  I'm not saying that God is always going to give you exactly you want, but he will bless you in his own way at his perfect timing.  

In celebration of Alex's new job, and his 24th birthday we decided to take a quick trip next week.  We wanted to go to Mexico, but my passport needs to be renewed, and planning a trip in week can be difficult.  So, we're off to Vegas!  I have never been a huge fan, and haven't desired to go (except to see Garth Brooks Live) but I'm pretty excited.  Unfortunately Garth won't be performing, but you know Celine Dion will...haha, I don't think I could put Alex through that.  We booked our trip last night, and watched Vegas Vacation in anticipation.  I plan on sitting by the pool most of the day, enjoying a couple of shows, playing the slot machines, and going on a damn tour ; ) Any tips? Must see casinos? Restaurants we can't pass up?
