You will always be the best part of me...

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and i am super excited to spend time with my family. The festivities start this evening with the Cagle crew and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody.

So between today and tomorrow i want to write about some of the very special people in my life-starting with my sweet husband.

I am beyond blessed to call Bo my husband. He is the man i will love forever and my soul mate. It's hard to imagine life before him, because he makes my world a much sweeter place just by being in it.

Here are just a few of the many reasons i am thankful for my husband...

*He loves me for me-no makeup, hair not fixed, no matter what-he will go out of his way to tell me i am beautiful. He is so good for my soul :o)

*He loves our animals unconditionally-i can't wait to see him as a daddy- it makes my heart just about burst to think about it!

*He loves my family, as if they were his-and my family loves him too!

*His super awesome family-love them!

*His willingness to always help me around the house.

*He is the "clothes folder" around here :o)

*His laid back, easy going personality

*He puts up with my grumpies, and loves me even when i am unlovable.

And i could go on and on. I LOVE this man more than i could have ever imagined.

Thank you lord for blessing me with a husband that far exceeds anything i could have ever dreamed.

LOVE YOU BABE!!

Wedding Recap-Rehearsal Dinner

We had a blast, and were so blessed to have some of our favorite people as our wedding party. We started the evening off w/ the rehearsal and then came back to our house for a cookout. It was laid back, and PERFECT! :o)

Back in the Saddle

Well...after like a 7 month hiatus-i do believe i am ready to start back blogging :o) Reading blogs is one of my most favorite things to do-and in fact i need to update my favorite blogs-i have lots more that i have come across that i love! Lots of stuff has happened since December. I am a married woman-woot!! I had a birthday-boo-only two years from 30!! But these have been some of the best months of my life! My wedding was a dream-it was absolutely perfect and i am so blessed to be married to the man of my dreams! I will do a whole post-or two- on the wedding-it truly was a magical day!!

Much love to you all!

Engagement Pics-Part Two!

One beautiful fall day last month, we ventured out to Berry College to have some more engagement pictures taken. These are some of my favorite pics, that my sweet friend Beth took for us. She is awesome!!

Thanksgiving...

I heart Thanksgiving...it is one of my most favorite times of the year!! I love spending time with family, making (and eating!) good food and just having fun. We started the Thanksgiving festivities on Wednesday with the Cagle crew, then today had dinner with my daddy and family and then tomorrow we are having my mom's side of the family at my house(which means i have been cleaning like a mad woman-ha!). We are then ending it all with a bang, spending time w/ friends on Saturday-Good Times!

Here are just a few of the many many things i am thankful for...

*My momma-hands down i have the best mom. She is the most selfless person i know, and has sacrificed so many things for me and my little brother. I hope i am half the mom that she is one day! LOVE HER!

*My daddy-he is the sweetest! He goes out of his way to do things for us-and is always here for me! LOVE HIM!

*Bo-i totally heart this boy. He is my world. LOVE HIM! I am looking forward to being his wife more than anything-and i can't hardly believe this is my last Thanksgiving as a "single" woman-next year we will be married-woot! I love you babe-thank you for just simply being you.

*Dustin-my goofy little brother-as aggravating as he can be sometimes, i can't imagine life without him. I am also thankful for his sweet girlfriend Dawn-she is so good to him and they are sweet together! Love you guys!

*My job-i am so lucky to have a job that i truly enjoy. My bank family is the best and i couldn't ask for a better place to work. I am truly blessed to have a great job!

*My friends-i have the most awesome friends-you guys rock!!!

*Diana, Austin and Teja- My best friend and her sweet babies-I miss you guys more than ever!! Please come home! :o)~

I am truly thankful for my life, health, happiness and for everything in between!!

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!

*Ralph Waldo Emerson*

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Pug Love! :o)

My how time flies....this is a pic of us two years ago-on our first Halloween together. We had gone w/ my best friend Diana and her husband Bronze and their sweet babies Teja and Austin Trick or Treating...

What a fun night!! We had a blast!! I miss Diana and the kids more than ever-now that they are in Tennessee i don't get to see them much-love you guys!!

20 Magical Years....

This is Bo and one of his Best Men-Jimmy. They are hilarious together and have been friends for 20 years!!

P.S. The "20 magical years"-is an inside joke between the two of them-so here is to ya'll-Bananna Bo and Shotgun Hannah-haha!!

Perfectly Wonderful

Tonight was one of those perfectly wonderful evenings! Bo picked me up from work, and we decided to go to the local pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. We went and found the cutest little round pumpkin, and several small pumpkins to decorate around the house with.

We then headed to eat YUMMY Mexican at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants-El Alazan out in Silver Creek-YUM-O!! Then home to carve our pumpkin. It was laid back, and simple and perfectly wonderful and i had a blast!!

And here is our pumpkin masterpiece in the making-ha ha!
