Life lately

Well. I haven't been around much, but it has been a roller coaster the last couple of months.

Jackson and I finally said goodbye to life on the road and hello to Alex City.

He took a job with Children's Harbor and we are now living on the lake. 
What a blessing.




We cannot wait until summertime to enjoy this amazing view.
I don't know who's more excited, us or our family and friends.


Moving on:


We said goodbye to a loved one at the beginning of October and we will forever miss ya, Grayson.


He was a sarcastic, funny, auburn loving guy that we all loved. We will see him again one day though, 
no worries. 
He was with us during this Auburn game. Isn't it beautiful?
We know Grayson's saying War Eagle with God now. 

As I sit at the hospital with my Grandmother, I realize how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family. I am surrounded by family that love one another as deep as it can go (sometimes too much, ha).
She is getting better as the days go on, but we know it will be a challenge to get her back to where she needs to be. 

She's the heart of our family.


We have had God on our side through the good and the bad. 
No matter where life takes us we have to learn to let go and let
God handle it. 

From moving home, to loss, to sickness, to health we have seen and felt it all. 

Life moves on and time heals. We are reminded not to forget our loved ones
and stick close to our family and friends. 

Thanks everyone for the prayers during our time
of loss and our time of heal.

Beach Bums

Beautiful weather, good eats, and great friends.

The beach was wonderful… great
way to start a new chapter in our lives.

It was wonderful to come back to AL
and know we were here to stay.

The beach was just a cherry on top.


We're in love… and annoy each other.



We enjoyed every bit of it. 

He's 30 :). 
Happy birthday Jack.
Here's to many more.
Back to reality! 

Life is so good.

H.O.M.E

A lot has happened over the last month and it is great news!

WE ARE MOVING BACK TO ALABAMA.

Alexander City, AL to be exact and we
 could not be more excited to be back with family and friends. 

Jackson has taken a job at Children's Harbor and will begin his new chapter in September. 

Pictures coming soon :).

Have a wonderful week y'all.

LIFE IS GOOD.

Anniversary weekend

Jackson truly is a great guy.

I give him a hard time and whine a lot, but he loves me unconditionally.

This past weekend was our 1 year anniversary and it was wonderful.

Walk in the park, sunning on the beach, and a yummy meal Sunday night. 



"I can swing higher than you." -the goober
I married. So competitive

Can't wait to be in Gulf Shores in August.
Texas beaches just aren't the same.

I think he likes his map of all the 
 places we have lived this last year.

We survived.
One year, boom bam.

Can't take him anywhere..


This cake traveled from Alabama to 
Texas.. so yes it looks rough.

Jackson makes me laugh until I cry, makes
up silly songs about anything and everything, grills 
to perfection, reminds me he is an Eagle Scout,
and loves me more than Johnny Cash, natural light, and 
Lake Martin. (that's a lot if you know Jack)

I'd be lost without my other half.
LOVE YOU JACKSON LEE LILLY!
One year down, many more to go!

Life is good.

One Year weekend

We've had fun these past 4 years.

One year married this weekend.

Love you always Jackson Lilly!





















I have a thousand photos I could post of Jackson and I that I love, but
I'll do us all a favor. 

I've truly been blessed with an amazing husband, family, and friends.
Big changes have happened and big changes are coming.
Can't wait!

Thanks for putting up with me, Jack!

Life is wonderful.
Eat, drink, and love marriage.

"Life is ever changing,
but I will always find a constant and comfort in your love.
With your heart, my soul is bound.

Mom and Dad take on Texas

This past weekend Mom and Dad came with me to Texas.

They were suppose to come to Denver, but I came home. Grad school.

We did not allow them to come to WV because lets be honest….. it stunk.


So they finally made it to one place we've lived. T E X A S. 

Friday night was dinner at a local BBQ spot that Jackson had found and a little resting from the trip out.

Saturday started early. Jackson and I headed over to the hotel to eat breakfast with the parents then we went to see my cousins brand new little baby boy, Ford. He's the cutest. Really.

After we left Hayden's we headed downtown toward St. Arnold's Brewery.

Little cup you got to keep.

The parents. 



Next stop was TopGolf.
It is a fun thing to do with friends and families.

No skills needed… besides hitting a ball.

There is a bar and food to enjoy 
while playing too.
What's not to love?

Jackson trying to figure it all out.

Dad, being dad, is giving mom lessons…
like I said all you need to know is how
to hit a ball, but that's the coach 
coming out.

TopGolf is coming to Atlanta this 
summer so if you're looking for something different to do 
with friends and family - this is a fun option!

Sunday morning we decided to head on down to Galveston. 
We are [s p o i l e d] from the FL and AL beaches.. It's just not the same.

The food is good and there are waves rolling in... So I'm not going to complain too much. 






Somehow dad missed the selfie boat.
I'm sure he's sad about it… 

Monday morning came quickly, as always, and I was
taking Mom and Dad back to the airport.

I sure do love them and I think Jack does too. 
We loved having family here and getting to explore
new things.

Next week Jackson's family will be here 
and I'll be back in AL.

Happy Friday y'all.
(Yes, I bought them because I love my little Buddy.)

Life is good.
