6 years and counting

  6 years ago on a cold and windy (with a few snow flurries early on) February afternoon, Dan and I were married at Prince Street Church, Shippensburg PA by Pastor Jim Bolich surrounded by our closest family and friends.

 On our one year anniversary, we went back to Best Western to spend a night in the hotel room suite where we spent our wedding night

 Our 2nd wedding anniversary was spent on vacation in Orlando, FL

married three years (at my father's wedding on 2.14)

the gorgeous flowers Dan got me for our 4th wedding anniversary

Our 5th wedding anniversary was our belated honeymoon. We spent an entire week aboard the Carnival Pride sailing through the Carribean (cannot wait to go on another cruise in 3 yrs!!)

Happy 6 years together!!















Happy Valentine's Day

Dan and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day (disclaimer: Dan proposed to me on Valentine's Day 7 yrs ago, but then we got married 4 days after Valentine's Day so now we only celebrate on the 18th)
Instead on this mushy, gushy holiday (that was totally & utterly created  by card and candy companies LOL) I share with you 14 of my greatest loves <3 (in no particular order) with any apologies to something that didn't make the cut (Valentine's Day is celebrated on the 14th not the 50th hehe)

#1 God and Jesus Christ: my chance at eternal life

#2 Dan & Madeline: the reason I strive to be a better mother & wife each day

#3 My family (immediate & extended): they made me who I am today

#4 My dogs Rocca & BayLeigh: even though BayLeigh is gone

(and I miss her each day), to them I was the best!
