4 Year Anniversary

Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary to my best friend and husband, Alex.  I really can't believe it's been 4 years already.  Time is surely flying.  I love looking back on the things we experienced together these past four years. Ich liebe dich!

Year 1 

  • Married 1 week after we graduated college
  • Vacationed in Playa Del Carmen for our honeymoon
  • Moved in to a small university house so I could pursue my MBA
  • Alex worked in banking, I worked at a non-profit
  • Enjoyed hanging out with our college friends who stuck around 
  • Started this blog because I was bored and needed a creative outlet
Year 2 
  • Made one of the biggest decisions we've had to make; Where to move after college? We applied in Austin and San Antonio, and decided that which ever city offered Alex the first job we would move there.  Thank you Austin for choosing us!
  • Alex moved to Austin, and I stayed behind in Abilene to finish up my degree. Three months of living apart was not fun.
  • Both found our dream jobs while at a liquor store, odd but a very true story
  • Vacationed in NYC and Saratoga Springs in the summer
  • Became pregnant!
  • Vacationed in Las Vegas to celebrate Alex's new job at Apple
Year 3
  • Welcomed our son, Turner Jack, in to the world
  • Took a leap of faith and quit my marketing job
  • Saved for our future home and to pay off student loan debt
  • Learned how to sleep less and love so much more
  • Vacationed in Port Aransas with family
Year 4
  • Bought our first home
  • You got arrested accidentally and it was one of the best days of your life
  • Worked on project after project making our house in to the perfect place for family and friends
  • Had Turner dedicated in the church we attended before we bought our house.  Started the search for a new church to call home.
  • Grew more together as parents and best friends than ever before

3 Years and Counting

Happy Anniversary to my man, Mr. Alex Coulter.  What a wonderful year it has been!  From bringing a baby in to the world to supporting each other through stressful times, we've done it hand in hand.  I can always count on you to reassure me that "Everything is going to be OK.", and when you say it I believe it.  Thank your for your "sassy" love.

Sticker shock

A few days ago Alex and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary, but unfortunately our big night planned had to be cut short due to me getting sick. I think it had something to do with the late night wing stop and fries w/blue cheese I had the night before (supposedly I'm not supposed to eat blue cheese, but I LOVE it!)  We made a quick stop at the Domain for dinner. Alex enjoyed his ridiculously expensive meal, and I had a baked potato because it was the only thing I could stomach.  I'm glad I didn't eat a full meal, because I think I would have passed out when I saw the check. Fine dining is a fun experience, but I am way too cheap to spend so much money on food.

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.
