Dishing out some info...and an award!

I am soooo thrilled that P from Life's Little Lessons chose to pass on the Versatile Blogger award to me :)

But of course it comes with some rules in order to accept....
1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post (See above!!)
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass this award on to 5 other recently discovered blogs.Here are a few great reads  I'm sure you'll enjoy!:

KT's Refinishing School

Krystal's Kitsch

Write It In Lipstick

Game of Life

WWMSD: What Would Martha Stewart Do?

So now for part 2 of the rules to receive the award, here's a few fun little things about moi! 

1. I am the proud semi-owner of two of the world's sweetest dachshunds, Priya and Max. I may not talk about them much since I left them with my mom after getting married, but they are still the pups who are closest to my heart!

2. I'm a sucker for scrapbooking and all other somewhat-easy-to-do crafts....and I've even convinced Danny to join my bandwagon and we are creating things together :)

3. For my wedding we  made all of our own bouquets, centerpieces, table cards, place settings, invitations and other floral decorations because I enjoy being hands-on and felt that I would cherish those items so much more knowing that I took part in creating them for my special day.

4. I am SOOO into Bollywood movies!  If you tell me Amitabh Bachchan, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai, Sharukh Khan or Rani Mukherjee is in a movie, you know I will be watching it very soon!

5. I have such a passion for travelling. So far I have been to Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, England, China, Japan, South Korea, Tibet, Hong Kong and India but there are tons more countries that I would love to visit!

The Taj Mahal

A hotel in Japan

in Tibet

The Great Wall of China

6. Though I really do love and enjoy the job I have, my real dream is for Daniel and I to have our own business one day. I have no idea what that business may be, but I'm excited about what's to come!

7.  I met my husband Daniel at church during one of the hardest times in both of our lives and God turned it into one of the best times! You can check out the "Our Love Story" tab for more about us :)

So that's all the info I'm giving out about myself for now. You'll have to visit again to find out some more of my aspects on life!

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

love always,

6 months Stronger!

The last 6 months of my life have been filled with lots of learning, growing, challenges and Changes but more than anything they have been filled with so much JOY!

I still can't believe sometimes that I am really Daniel's wife and my dreams are finally reality.  But it's true!
I want to dedicate this post to the love of my life, who has been with me through the good, bad and ugly. Here's to us, baby!

We met at 18 years old, right before Christmas. It's amazing how much we have matured in the last 4 1/2 years! Here are some pics of us through the years...

My 19th Birthday!

I will never forget the time he first told me he loved me, only 3 weeks after we started dating! We went on one of our first dates to the beach and he was so giddy and nervous...it was adorable! 

Our first Valentine's Day

On our 3rd Valentine's Day together he gave me the biggest surprise. That Sunday morning he proposed to me in front our our entire church! He did this because it was the place where we first met, where we worked in ministry together, and where we have grown in the Lord together.

He had a slideshow of our pictures playing on the screen as read me a poem that he wrote.

He also gave me a bouquet of roses before he popped the question

He even brought yellow roses for both of our mothers

 Together we have overcome the odds, both big and small :)  We encouraged each other to face our fears (heights!) and he's the one that really taught me how to ride a bike, and bought me one for my birthday, since I pretty much blocked it out of my mind after falling off of one when I was 8 years old.

Me at the top of an overpass (conquering both fears!) and Danny was the camera man :)

 The best moment of our relationship was on December 11, 2010 when we tied the knot.  I will be creating a page for our wedding but here is just a tiny glimpse of our Big Day.

Everyday that goes by I am even more certain that Daniel is the love of my life and I can't wait til we celebrate our first year of marriage together...and then our 50th year! 
Happy Weekend, friends!
love always,
