Happy 4th Anniversary

This was hubby's face as I walked down the isle .....
it will always be treasured as one of my favorite photos of him!


I thank the Lord every single day for bringing Gabe into my life.  

I called it on the first day we met that he would be my future husband!!!! I told Abby and my mom -- she said don't jinx it!!!  It is scary how quickly the past 4 years have flown by, which means it's only the beginning of our life together and 20 years will pass before we know it .... I can just imagine saying, "How do I have kids in college??"


How did I luck out marrying the most handsome and loving man in the world that is an incredible role model for myself and others.  

Here's to the many more on our adventure together - 
Thanks for being my rock!
I LOVE YOU!!

  11. Happy Anniversary, Kelsey!

    Usually at weddings everyone likes to keep their eyes on the bride when she is walking down the aisle but I like to turn around and look at the groom. The grooms face is usually priceless.

    Have a great day!

  27. Okay!
    So I have cold chills!
    ANd...
    the HUGEST smile!
    Why...because you two are just the most PRECIOUS couple!
    Why...because I just know Gabe ADORES you like Greg ADORES me!
    Did you know it's wayyyyy better to be ADORED than it is to be LOVED!
    Lots of men could LOVE you!
    But to find the one that ADORES you!
    To find the one that will live and love you in an adoring way!
    To find the one who's ADORATION for you will hurdle you over/through the not so happy times!
    Well now...that's when you have really FOUND the one!
    You are one of the lucky ones Sweetpea!
    You are one of the lucky lucky ones who has a precious man that not only loves you...
    but ADORES you!
    ANd I couldn't be happier for you...
    and for Gabe!
    That look...that priceless LOOK on Gabe's face as you were walking towards him...tells the WHOLE story! And it's such a sweet story too!
    Why am I smiling!
    Well there's just one more reason!
    I'm smiling because Greg and I celebrated our anniversary YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
    Is that not just so you and me!
    Of course your anniversary would be only ONE day after mine!
    Yesterday Greg came home early!
    I got my workout in early and dolled all up!
    {I never do that during THE DAY!}
    He brought me a BIG beautiful bouquet of the most gorgeous blooms from Pikes Market.
    And guess what my anniversary gift was?!
    Sweet nectarines from the market!
    They were the sweetest things I've ever tasted...just like our love!
    Okay..so I'm getting corny here!
    Then we took a really long walk down a deserted beach...Doogan got off the leash...and ran ran ran...so free!
    We stopped along the way.
    Watched the water.
    Snuggled on a huge piece of driftwood.
    And just talked about how grateful we were.
    How far our love had come in the past 9 years.
    It was the perfect spot...on that deserted beach!
    On the way home we rolled deli turkey and cheese and ate sweet potatoe chips.
    Then when we got home...we took a nap.
    And at 9:30 last night.. Greg was eating jelly beans...and I was eating skittles!
    How's that for a romantic anniversary night! ;o)
    At around 9:30 I said...
    "Here we are...a 35 minute ferry ride from one of the most spectacular cities in the world...and you are eating jelly beans and I am eating skittles...on our anniversary!
    He said yeah...and I wouldn't wanna be any place else! ;o)
    Happy Anniversary to one of the cutest, happiest couples I know!
    I love you sweet Kelsey!
