A quick visit ...

Before the business of summer really hits - and this family adds a third child - I scooted down to visit my bro, sis-in-law and their two little loves {plus one fluffy one} for an evening.  Unfortunately the hubs had to work, but C let me know that she missed him oh so much.

It was nice to just "hang out" with the family. 

And of course Otis' brother from another mother {they have the same dad}.  I believe Kona is looking forward to his upcoming hair cut ;) 

It was nice to see how good Kona is with the little loves.  He sure is one loved pup! 

Miss A was a big fan of the selfies ...

And then she wanted to be a puppy on snapchat ...

which ended up opening up the doors to all the other fun filters ...

So we took pictures and sent them to their dad who was working :)

Because, well that's just the fun thing to do! 

We played, we talked, we laughed ... it was good for the soul! 

Next time I see these two they will have a new baby brother - another little love to love like crazy! 

2 years down ...

This past Monday the hubs and I celebrated two years of married bliss.  How it can already be TWO years, well, it's beyond me! Time sure has flown by while we're having fun! 

We decided to just do a little get away for dinner that evening - seeing as it was a BEAUTIFUL day - and our kitchen is still a disaster {more on that later} - we thought finding some place different for dinner would be the perfect way to celebrate.  

So we ventured off to Frankfort.

It was a bit of a drive but it was so beautiful out that neither one of us really minded at all ...

We walked the pier.  Met a new friend {RJ} who was reeling in some big fish. Watched the waves crash. And just enjoyed some time just the two of us. 

It really was a the perfect little spot with not to many people to just slow down and enjoy.  After the business of wrapping up the school year I think both of us just needed a little time away from "our town" :)

We made reservations at The Fusion downtown and OH MY GOODNESS was the food AMAZING!!!  We of course got some sushi - and wantons - and pot stickers - and the hubs got some pad Thai ....

And after ... well ... we were FULL FULL FULL! 

A perfect little summer evening and a place we will definitely be visiting again! 

One Year {a little late} ...

It's almost a month ago that we celebrated our one year anniversary - but I figure better late than never to document it on the blog world right?!

The hubs and I decided that for our anniversary gifts we would each get something for the house - which ended up both being something for outside! 

I got the hubs a new grill.  It was raining when we got it, but he was so excited so grilling in the rain would do :)

The hubs got me a patio set. We were both pretty picky about what we wanted and the hunt was on to find an affordable non-glass top table.  Luck would have it that we found one at Meijer one evening when we were grocery shopping! I love it and already many nights have been spent eating dinner outside now.

On our actual anniversary we made our way up to TC to my parents {father's day was the following day}.   A perfect back drop for our one year picture. :)

And of course Otis wanted in a picture too!

We left the pup with his Grandma and Grandpa and headed downtown to eat at Franklin's.  We had heard great things about the restaurant but had yet to try it - we were not disappointed and will be going back again I'm sure!  From the drinks & appetizers, to dinner and dessert - everything was mouth watering good! 

We did each take a bite from our wedding cake too {of course we wouldn't do this for breakfast one day would we?!?!}.  We'll just say that it wasn't bad - but was definitely better the day of! 

It is so hard to believe that a year has already come and gone!  It has been a big year for us - getting a fur baby, buying a house, going to Disney, and so much more! I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us!
