5 years married

Yesterday David and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary.  Here's a look back on the day I married the most amazing man I will ever know.  5 years down, the rest of our lives to go!

A look back at June

June was a tough month for our family.  We lost my beautiful grandmother at the end of May and I honestly cannot believe it has already been over a month since she passed.  Going through the photos on my phone brought a smile to my face and reminded me that I still have so much to be grateful for.  I picked out a few to share with you guys. So here is a look back on June.  Summer is here and we are definitely loving the warm weather! (maybe David isn't but pfft...he's just crazy pants).  I have been riding my new bike around town and I am really enjoying being out and about pulling Liam along in his "new" burley trailer. (doesn't he look so cute in his helmet!?) I have been keeping busy with eating lots of yummy desserts, watching the beautiful sunsets, family trips to the children's museum, and going crazy decorating our home.  Plus I've got a new toy!  I bought a polaroid back for my Mamiya rz67 pro ii and so far I am head over heels in love. ♥  I'll probably be sharing the polaroids on my photography blog soon.  Keep an eye out! Ok, on to the photos:

welcome to my new blog!


Hey guys! Glad you're here. I decided to start up a new blog because quite frankly I'm getting tired of facebook. There you go, the truth!  I dunno...It's just that every time I go on that thing I end up feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, and usually a little pissed off. The only reason I'm even keeping a FB account is to keep up with my photography page and a few other pages I like. I'll just leave it at that.  But, I mean, does anyone else feel this way?

Anyway, I started this blog because I still want to share what's going on with me and my family here in Madison and besides, not everyone has a facebook. Hi Grandma Butler! I hope you're reading this! :D If you really want to keep up with what I am doing (including David, Liam, Panda and kitties!) please check back in from time to time and leave comments! I'd love to talk to you guys :)  Please be sure to add your email in the box below my profile picture to receive notifications on my latest posts.

Since I haven't seriously blogged in a really long time I figured i'd start off with a simple 52 week goal type-o-thangy.  I'll be posting 1x/week for 52 weeks (that ='s a year!) and once I've reached that goal, I'll see if I want to continue blogging.  I really do hope you enjoy this blog as much as I hope to someday love it haha.  I'm a really nice person so please keep your comments of the friendly sort or else!  Also, I don't plan on posting extremely personal things but if you want to ask a personal question I wouldn't mind trying to give you an honest answer :)

 Ok! Here it goes!
