What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's once again time to link up with Jaime for What I'm Loving Wednesday!!



This week is a special edition for me as I'm celebrating 4 wonderful years of marriage to my best friend!! WARNING- picture overload ahead!!

I could not have asked for a better husband and friend. God certainly knew what He was doing when He brought us together!! These first 4 years of marriage have flown by and we have come so far. I can't wait to see what God has in store for us for the next 4 years and many more years after that!

 (this is from our 1st vacation together - San Antonio - and we will be taking a trip back there next weekend to celebrate our anniversary!!)
 
(this is from Valentine's Day in 2010 - we went out for a nice steak dinner and a movie (if my memory serves me correctly we saw Valentine's Day- I DO remember it was really, really cold that year!!)

(this is from our Disney World vacation a couple years ago - so much fun!!! Hubby had been several times, but it was my first and I'm so ready to go back!!)
 
(and here we are on our wedding day)
 
(Hubby and me with the wedding party - hubby's best friend from high school, my best friend from high school, my sister, hubby's brother, my sister's oldest daughter (youngest wasn't born yet), hubby's brother's son and daughter (their youngest daughter was too young to be in the wedding)
 
(cutting the cake - so yummy)
 
(getting ready to take off on our flight to Puerto Rico - don't we look exhausted!!! LOL - we WERE!!!)

(on our cruise ship before dinner one night - Royal Caribbean, sorry I can't remember the name of our ship)

(here we are again on the ship before dinner one night)
 
I love you so much Matthew!! Thank you for a wonderful 4 years. I look forward to many more years with you!!
 
Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you head over to Jaime's to join in on the fun!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Here we are again halfway through another week! You know what that means. It's time for What I'm Loving Wednesday with Jamie!!!

 
 
Here's what I'm loving on this wonderful Wednesday . . .
 
1.I mentioned I was excited for this to be happening last week and now here are the results. Hubby and I went Sunday to Williams-Sonoma and got to meet Bobby Flay and get his autograph!! He was such a nice guy and much more personable than I was expecting (and a lot smaller in person too, haha). Hubby was worried that he wasn't going to sign the custom mini helmet he had created but Bobby (yeah, we're on first name basis like that, LOL) really liked it and even commented "nice job!" Way to go Bobby - made my hubby very happy!! I'm excited to try some recipes from his new cookbook. Williams-Sonoma certainly knows how to do things - they were so organized and even made a potato salad recipe from Bobby's book and was passing out samples for all of us to try! Very classy!
(sorry, I forgot to get a picture of the autographed cookbook, but you can see it sitting under the helmet)
 



2. Sonic drinks!! Need I say more? I absolutely LOVE their ice!! Now that the weather is warming up I see a lot more of these in my future. My favorite drink choices are Dr. Pepper, Cherry Limeade, and I just recently tried their sweet tea - being a southern girl I'm picky about my sweet tea and they do not disappoint!! 
 
3. Speaking of Sonic ice I just recently discovered that I no longer need to visit Sonic in order to get my ice fix! (don't worry Sonic, I'm not going anywhere though) Thanks to Amanda I discovered I could have Sonic-style ice any time I want it!! Go check out her post to see what I'm talking about (just click on her name in the previous sentence and it will take you right to the post I'm talking about). How cool is that??!!! Only thing I'm NOT loving is the price tag. A girl can dream though right . . . . Maybe someday!
(I hope she doesn't mind I borrowed this picture from her blog)
 
 
 
4. Target summer wardrobe - I just LOVE some of my recent Target finds. I've been wanting a maxi dress for the past 2 summers and have finally found one that fits my short stature (I'm 5'3"). I also scored another cute summery dress (it's not exactly like the one pictured below - the one I got is black background with colorful Southwest looking design all over it) and a nice light white top (which I've been searching for one for a while - it's very shear so I have to wear a cami under it, but I absolutely LOVE it).
 
Merona® Women's Sleeveless Maxi Dress -Floral Print Mossimo® Women's High Low Trapeze Dress -Black/White Print
 Merona® Women's 3/4 Sleeve Tunic -White
 
5. Hunter Hayes song "Wanted" - I may be a little late to the fan club, but the radio station I've been listening to has been playing this song a lot and I LOVE it!! Unfortunately I'm blogging from work so it won't let me upload a clip for you to listen to, but when you get a chance look it up and have a listen!
 
6. Last, but certainly not least - I'm loving another God-given day to enjoy my life with this man!! We have recently started taking walks in the evenings when we get home and it's the perfect way to unwind from our days at work and enjoy some time together while fitting in a little exercise!
 
 
 
Ok, now it's your turn. Head on over to Jamie's and tell us what you're loving this week! As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
