Christmas 2015

Our Christmas 1,000 miles from home. It was a white Christmas, with about 6" of snow. But it was sunny and warm.

We woke up early to watch my younger siblings unwrap presents over Skype. Little Dylan saying afterwards "Sorry we woke you up early. We were just excited." 

Afterwards we got up and made breakfast, and then went shooting at the range.

I made dinner (first meal I've home cooked in months) 

This would have been a chicken twin! Too bad we ate him... Them. Lol

Then we enjoyed the last day to wear our Santa hats and watched Netflix all evening.

It was a lovely 2nd Christmas together. And we can't wait to go home and visit our family's we missed very much this Holliday season.

Our First Anniversary

Today marks 365 days of marital bliss. 

Our first year together was full of amazing moments and perfect days. There were some really hard struggles and decisions as well. But it all brought us closer together and made us stronger together.

When you find the other half that makes you whole your whole life makes sense. It has a new and better purpose. I can't imagine what my life would be like without my sweet husband. He brings me up, makes me a better person, and puts a smile on my face every single day. I cannot thank God enough for him. And I hope our future is as bright and beautiful as our life right now.

Amber's 21st Birthday

For my 21st birthday Michael bought me this beautiful necklace. The blue topaz are my birth stone.

He also got me new charms for my charm bracelet. The blue one is also my birth stone. The snowflake is because Winter is my favorite season. And the paw print is because he also got me something else for my birthday/Christmas...

 We got a puppy! He was born last week! We wont be able to bring him home until January though. He is a pure schnauzer, salt a pepper. I am SO excited to get him!!!

It has been a wonderful birthday. Its my "Fun" year, and I cant wait to see what it brings.
