{6 months} Taiya Pictures

Many faces of a six month old...

Taiya Belle reached the six month mark on February 1st. Has that much time really gone by? Wow. I can't remember life without her, this little girl is our sunshine!!

Since I absolutely love photography... Travis suprised me (so sweet!!) with some photography classes for Christmas. I have learned so much! So I decided to attempt to take Taiya's 6 month pictures on my own- as if I don't take enough pictures already. I have to say I am quite proud of myself... I still have tons and tons to learn about photography and photoshop but this is step one...

{Our happpily ever after}... 2 down, eternity to go!

February 1st marked two years of love, laughs, learning, and oh yeah... marriage.

Who would have thought that when I went to this concert

with my girlfriends, that I would run into this adorable boy.

And that he would get my number and within a couple weeks we would go on our first date. And see each other the next night. And the next. And the next. And the next. Who would have known?

That we would both fall. Hard. And fast. Two months and one week later he would ask a very important question...

And I would say YES!

Then on February 1, 2008 we promised forever.

And ever.

We shared the most amazing day with our loved ones. A day that we will never forget...

It was the first day of our happily ever after. Many more have came, and many more will come. I am so happy to know that we forever!!!

Two years later things couldn't be better. I think I am the luckiest girl in the world. Trav thank you so much for being so patient with me and for being such a great husband and dad. Thanks for making me laugh every day-- about 50x a day. I love laughing with you. As long as I can keep laughing with you, I know we can make it through anything. You always brighten my day. And everyone else's. I think it is that contagious laugh of yours. Once you start, everyone else joins in.

There are a million things I love about you. I love the kind of person that you are. I love the way you take care of our little family. I love the way you want to protect me and Taiya. I love your sweet side. And the teasing. Yes, I know I complain, but I really do love every minute of it. I love that you notice every single thing I say-- if I say something "wrong" then you won't let me here the end of it. And I know that we will be laughing about it for days. I love the way you always know when I need a hug or some cuddling.  I love the way you don't know the words to a song but you still sing at the top of your lungs just to make me laugh. I love the way you are the greatest dad. I love the way you care about everyone. And there are so many more things I love.. I just love you trav!

We had a great anniversay... the whole day to ourselves, thanks to all the grandparents. We got massages, went to dinner at Teppanyaki (we love that place), and went to see Avatar in 3-D. It was so nice to spend the day together having fun and relaxing. Wow, two years...
