Well obviously it’s not Friday. But seeing as how I wrote this yesterday and am just now getting around to hitting publish, we’re just going to take a step back into time real quick.  My internal calendar is messed up anyways, so embrace the chaos with me, won’t you?

1. We celebrated our first anniversary on Monday! High five for love, laughs, and a wonderful year with G!

2. With our travel hiccups on our way to Maine, I was a little nervous for our return home on Tuesday.  Thankfully, we made it home when we were supposed to! High five for no cancelled flights… and Chipotle before we drove back to Augusta!

3. As much as we loved our trip, it felt good to be home in our own beds on Tuesday night. High five for a home that we love to return to!

4. This week, two friends of my sweet friends earned the title Mom! High five for the sweet little boys who entered the world this week!

5. My wittle babwy sistew {that’s little baby sister, for all of you that don’t speak baby} is getting married and we’re going wedding dress shopping tomorrow! High five for spending time with my mom, sisters, and nieces, and of course celebrating baby Ruth!

Happy weekend!

Happy fourth of July!  In addition to celebrating our great country, we’ll be celebrating our one year anniversary on Monday!  That’s a reason for extra fireworks, don’t you think?

1. Last July 4th, after not seeing each other for 80 lonnnng days, Gary and I ended our long distance relationship/engagement in the best way possible – we were married three days later! High five for memories of the BEST reunion!

2. Yesterday morning we left for our one year anniversary trip to Portland, Maine! High five for new Atwell Adventures! {follow along on instagram}

3. About ten hours after we left yesterday, we were stranded in Philadelphia thanks to another tropical storm like we had on our honeymoon. High five for finally finding a rental car and driving til 4am to reach our destination!

4. This morning we got up early and headed to the airport to check to see if our suitcase had made it with another incoming flight. It did! High five for some things going right!

5. The best part about all these unfortunate circumstances? That I get to share them with someone who makes me laugh and smile through them all. High five to the best 362 days of my life with you G!

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday. Thanks Rebecca Black. Onto high fives!

1. Tomorrow marks one year since I left my job at Carlyle Place. This upcoming Tuesday marks 3 months at my current job. High five for the Lord’s faithfulness, timing, and providing a job that I love!

2. One of our neighbor’s daughter and fiance just returned from serving in Afghanistan and they’re getting married this weekend! High five for all the celebrations their family is experiencing!

3. This past weekend we visited my side of the family to screen meet my sister boyfriend and celebrate AB’s birthday! High five for visits with family!

{me and my four sisters; we missed you Josh and Caleb!}

4. Speaking of Ruthie’s boyfriend, his name is Lee so since she started dating him, I’ve been calling him Leeward – not to be confused with Leeward the Elf. High five for jokes that will never end!

5. T-minus 6 days until we leave for our anniversary trip! High five for celebrating and traveling with G!
