Two

Two years ago today I married my best friend.

We've come a long way in two years. We have had two different homes (1 apartment, 1 house), we have added two dogs, I've had two jobs, and we have learned that two really is better than just one!

My dad performed the wedding ceremony!

"We're married!!!"

Happy 31st Anniversary to my parents as well! Miguel and I got married on their 29th anniversary and I even wore my mom's wedding dress! We are so blessed to have such loving parents/in-laws that have modeled a loving and lasting marriage!

I keep saying it, but it really is true! I am so blessed! So blessed to have married Miguel and so blessed to have the privilege of spending the rest of my life next to the man of my dreams!

Invisible Fence UPDATE

A while back I wrote about installing our invisible fence for the dogs. Someone recently asked for an update so here one is =)

The decision to get an electric fence has definitely been a good one for us. We only have a small section of the driveway where the dogs might run off, the rest of our backyard is blocked. 

The dogs respect the fence. They've only zapped themselves right at the beginning when they were learning how to use the fence. Now they put some space between themselves and the fence. So much so now that we let them outside quite often without their collars on.

I will say that Emma did run over the fence last month. We hadn't put her collar on her in a couple of weeks and I think she had been testing how far down the driveway she could get without getting zapped. Well, a man walked his dog in our yard and Emma decided she couldn't stand his taunting anymore. I don't know if it was the fact that she hadn't been zapped in a while, or the fact that a dog was marking "her" yard, or a combination of both, but she took off after the dog. Jack, being a follower, took off after Emma. I have seen other dogs walk by our house, and have seen squirrels and cats in our yard without Emma running after them... so all in all I think the fence has been a great choice and has served us really well!

Hope that is a helpful update!

Clemson Tigers Wreath

I made this wreath for a friend who obviously is a Clemson Tigers fan. I really like how this wreath turned out! I used a little bit thicker wreath form which helped to add some volume. I also had fun with the ribbons! 

I'd love to make you your very own school spirit, ribbon wreath! Contact me if you're interested! Only a couple more months till college football season!!!
