No, I haven't disappeared.  Ever since we started "Project Buy a House"  things have been more hectic than usual.  Let's pick-up where I left off...

Love this girl!

Whirlwind of a weekend

Sorry I haven't updated in several days but things have been slightly crazy in the Phillips' household.  On Saturday, Kris and I went house hunting all day with our realtor.  After several hours of looking, we found a new neighborhood and builder we were very interested in.  Needless to say, we put in a offer on Sunday and signed paperwork on Monday.....crazy huh?  We still have a few things to do before we are officially homeowners but we've  been given our tentative closing date so it's pretty much a done deal....fingers crossed.  I'm still in shock, and can't believe we found something we both agreed on so quickly.

Since I'm behind on my picture a day challenge, I will be completing several days on this post :)

Day 5: A picture with a parent or two

Family picture at Bethany Beach.  Our traditional family vacation for 20+ years

Day 6: A picture of you on your birthday

This picture wasn't taken on my birthday but it's close enough.  Unfortunately, I always had to post-pone my bday festivities during college since birthday fell on or around final exam week :(  

Day 7: A picture of you from your younger years

K5 Graduation.  At least I can say I was not responsible for the hair or the outfit.  Thanks mom!

God grant me the serenity 
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Wordless Wednesday

One of the guests at our wedding took this photo during our first dance.  I think it's pretty evident how happy I was that night <3

March Recap: Wedding bells and Paradise

Wow, where should I start!?  Here's a very brief synopsis of last month :)

March 11-12th:  Our wedding weekend was spectacular and I couldn't have imagined it any other way.  I LOVED our venues, DJ, caterer, florist and my incredible photographer.  Everything was absolutely beautiful, and I was left speechless on more than one occasion.  It was the BEST night of my life, and I enjoyed every minute of it.  Question, can we do it all over again?
