Meet the Magnolias

My sweet husband, Jordan, is 25 today!!!!!! Prepare for picture overload as I celebrate his heart and the fun we have together! (I initially tried to make them all chronologically correct....but gave up a little!) From that first time we hung out, when you were 18, I knew we would be best friends.  We've also been together for 6.5 years today! Woo! This means lots of ups, a few downs, and facing challenges together. It has been amazing.  We have shared so many fun memories (and THREE Disney trips) so far. I can't wait to see what else the Lord has for us! Thanks for always encouraging me to be myself. I'm a better person because of you! Plus, I've had more fun not caring about what people think of me (within reason, obviously)! Thanks for being SO MUCH FUN these past six and a half years, bug. You're everything to me.  Our engagement, wedding, and marriage have been amazing so far. Not easy. Never easy. But amazing. And so worth it.  I couldn't be more proud of

How was your weekend? Spectacular, I hope! Mine was really good and actually very productive! I didn't waste a ton of time being lazy, and it made such a difference!! Friday night included dinner and quality time with Katelyn! Saturday included time with Jordan before he went to work + cleaning our room. Saturday evening, I spent several hours with Sally finally formulating a budget for our family. Sunday was nursery, reading, painting at the Followells' new house, loving on friends, and family time! The weekend was exactly what I needed. So thankful.  This week includes Jordan's and Paige's birthdays - two of the people I love most on the planet, and I get to celebrate them!!!! Taking time off on Thursday and Friday for quality time with them. So excited (plus, who doesn't love a long weekend?!).  P.S. Mister Thornton is LOVING the World Cup! (See below - cheering on America with his friends on Sunday!)
