3 = Leather

The traditional 3 year marriage anniversary gift is supposed to incorporate leather in some fashion - much to Jonathan and I's mutual surprise this year. We remembered to check this traditional list after exchanging our gifts, and were kicking ourselves for never remembering to follow fun traditions such as these. Apparently though, the stars aligned and had us participate unknowingly! There's truly nothing better in the world than gift giving -  it's amazing how things so simple can make one feel so known by another. Can't wait to get started on the hunt for next year!



Forgive the ambiguous photo of my gift from Jonathan - it just so happens to be a beautiful, handcrafted, leather camera strap which found its way onto my camera almost immediately... and isn't the easiest to get on and off. Just take my word for it, it's stunning and it's never coming off.       


p.s. the flask text :: "put a little hair on your chest" :)

*Year Three*



Happy 3 year anniversary love of my life! Gosh that flew by - I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us.

You are my best friend, my fellow adventurer, my coffee maker (every dang morning, and I don't deserve it!), my constant strength, and my perfect example of how to love selflessly.
I've loved growing and changing with you these past three years through our marriage, and I couldn't have ever imagined a better friend to partner up with for life. 


*Love you more than dark chocolate m&ms and mac n' cheese* ;)

*A Past Weekend Post















just a few iphone photos from last weekend... an entire weekend late {apologies}. 
we took a little bike ride around dc.
stopped by georgetown for a cupcake and a coffee for breakfast.
saw the fdr & the mlk memorials.
road home & nursed our sunburns.
spent precious time with our capitol hill family.
were completely spoiled by great wine & lobster boats.
laughed about basements, California, granola, lavender wands, & as always, confetti hearts.
AST M&P, we're going to miss you more than you could ever know.
