Friday's Letters 9.14.12

This is me committing to doing something at least once a week, so here goes!

Dear work, I am so happy a new manager was hired, maybe I will make it to daycare to pick up Anna Kate on time once this month. Dear husband, thanks so much for a night out last night.  That was really refreshing.  Dear Anna Kate, I know your teeth are coming in and that really sucks, but do you think you could eat something other than mac and cheese.  Dear Dogs,  I am very sorry for being a neglectful dog owner for the last year.  I am sure you understand with the fire and new baby why we haven't had as much time for you.  Things are changing and thanks for your patience.  Now that we have an invisible fence you can lay on the front porch all day long. Dear Christmas, I know you are still 101 days away but I am really excited for you to get here so I can decorate our new house and wrap presents for Anna Kate and for Santa to come down our new chimney.


 

2 years

I have probably experienced more in the past two years than most People experience in a lifetime. If it weren't for Eddie, I would probably be in the crazy house having a mental breakdown right now.

Two years ago I married the most supportive, caring, loving, hard working man I have ever known. He is an amazing father and husband. He is more than I could have ever asked for. We had an amazing wedding surrounded by our friends and family. You can read more about the wedding in the beginning of this post


We have been blessed beyond measure with our wonderful daughter and we have overcome tragedy with rebuilding our home and lives after the fire. We definitely don't have a perfect marriage but if we can survive all that we have experienced already, I think we can survive anything. I love you very much Eddie and can't wait to see what else is in store for us!

Cheerios

Anna Kate's new love is Cheerios. She wants to share them with everyone! Please ignore my messy house in the background. Enjoy!

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You!

Happy Birthday Anna Kate!  It has been the longest and shortest year of my life at the same time!  Here is a recap of my favorite parts of the party! As you can tell, the theme was Dr. Suess.  I ordered a lot of my decorations from Modern Bebe Design . She is fabulous to work with and delivers a beautiful product!

Calendar banner from Modern Bebe - she provided the banner, I printed the pictures.

Modern Bebe made the invitations and the sign for the birthday book.  I was a little disappointed that everyone didn't sign the book :(

Green Eggs and Ham

We got 6 labels from Modern Bebe - Green eggs and ham - pretzels with marshmellows and m&m's, Roast beast - BBQ, Poodles of Noodles - mac and cheese, thing 1 and thing 2 brunswick stew - does this need an explanation??, Pink ink yink drink - pink lemonaide and a crumb too small for even a mouse!

Got this awesome Thing 1 and Thing 2 sign from the dollar spot <3 Target!

Got these awesome shirts off of ebay for $10 each!  We plan on using them at Halloween too! For the record, the shirts were not my idea!

Got this cute romper made for Anna Kate from Courtney's Closet in Athens!

We all had a great day!  Anna Kate was in a great mood all day and we were so thankful for everyone that came!
