Happy 28th birthday to my wonderful husband, Mac! I love you more every day, and I can’t wait for you to get home!
Five, make you fall in love with me
If I had planned this, I would’ve managed to publish this yesterday on our actual anniversary. We celebrated anniversary #4 with pizza, again, but I didn’t photograph it. And we finally visited the North Carolina Zoo. Mac and I also headed over to Wilmington to enjoy North Carolina’s beautiful spring weather. We spent the spring getting ready to leave Fort Bragg. My parents came to visit, and we enjoyed a… View Post »
Pizza care package – March #1

My pinky toes erupted, so my last two miles were… View Post »
Three, you’re the only one for me
Anniversary #2 was a long distance one. Mac finally got Skype set up, and we managed to video chat once a week until he came home for R&R in July. We did some speed wedding planning and took our engagement photos. Mac headed back to Afghanistan to finish out his tour. One of my friends had football season tickets, so we went to Blacksburg for several games. Including my 23rd… View Post »
