May, Where Have You Gone?

I cannot believe that May is just about over! This month has flown by! I am actually fine with this. I am so excited to be off for summer and don't want to wish it away but the faster it goes.....the sooner the wedding will be here!! Ah..yes. 

I have become a once a week blogger lately. Hopefully that will change this summer, although June looks busy. Brett and I will be heading to Costa Rica in a little over a week with his family! I am so excited about going but things will be crazy for the next few weeks!

 My first weekend of freedom was spent with my future in-laws and by the pool. I also made these...

Strawberries filled with homemade whipped cream. Such a perfect summer treat! Mine didn't turn out quite as pretty as these but they were still very good! 

I promise to be back soon with something more exciting!

I hope that your Memorial Day was a relaxing one!! 

More Than Ready

Hope your weekend was a fun one!!

Her Children Arise and Call Her Blessed!

 Dear Mom, 

I could never tell you how truly blessed I am to have you. Not a day goes by that I am not thanking the Lord for you and appreciate you, even though I may not show it to you.

You are the most remarkable woman I know. I think back to my childhood and am so grateful for the millions of lunches you packed, being our taxi service, doing our laundry (oh wait...you still do mine!), and getting us an afternoon snack on the way home from school. You loved each of us so well and always made sure that we each felt special.

As I grew up you were constantly there to encourage me and feed me with truth from God's Word. You were never too busy to listen to me. You always had something to say that made me feel better. You were there to call me out when necessary and remind me of God's grace. 

Now I am much older and still constantly turn to you for advice and Godly counsel. You are full of wisdom. I am encouraged by your walk with the Lord and that you are encouraging me in mine. Thank you for instilling in me good morals and  Biblical principles.

 

Now, I am preparing and planning to walk down the aisle. I am not quite sure how I will leave you....that will be a big change. Thank you for being excited for me and helping me plan! Thank you for your constant prayers over Brett and I's relationship and future marriage. I hope that for Brett and our future family's sake that I am half the wife and mother that you are! I am so thankful for you! 

Love,

Laura

3 Years

On Sunday, Brett and I celebrated three years of dating. Appropriately enough, we went to a wedding for some friends of ours. While we didn't do anything too special it was sweet to just be. 

Sorry so blurry..

Woo! Three years!

Brett got me a monopod for my camera so we decided to try it out!

I'm the luckiest.... :)

Brett, thank you for the last three years! Thank you for being patient and persistent in your pursuit! I am so incredibly excited that we will have a new anniversary to celebrate in a few months! EEEK!! I am glad we have 80 more years together! :) I love you with all my heart and cannot wait to be your wife!
