Lets Talk | Guys

Happy Monday, friends! To see my weekend recap post click here.

I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika today for their "Lets Talk" link up. Today is all about the guy(s) in your life! I have a few that I'll be sharing with you :)

First up is my sweet husband, Blake. Blake and I met around 8 years ago at church, but I knew about him before then. He is two years older than me, so when I was in 6th grade and he was in 8th grade, I was going through my yearbook and I did the classic "hearts around his picture" and wrote "hottie" real big above his picture. #noshame

The rest was history. Just kidding! We later met at church. He was the cute boy playing guitar on stage and I was the weird little freshman girl with a BIG crush on him. We were always in the same friend group, we dated other people, confided in each other when things went wrong, prayed for one another, and also had a few moments where we weren't each others biggest fan. I think that all of those years of us being such close friends helped our relationship when we finally started to date. More on that after sharing some fun throwback pictures of us in those oh-so-great high school years!

Here we are at church camp in 2010.

Here we are in another country on a mission trip a year later.

Here we are on another mission trip in 2009 (I think). I'm picking fun at Blake and his lack of arm muscles. So sweet, I know. 

And lastly, at prom in 2011! #itwasalittlewindy

I moved away to College Station for school and we stayed friends. I moved back home and then the rest was history.

We started dating a little over a month after I moved home, August of 2014. 

Here we are on our very first date!

And on our second date.

We dated for a little over 5 months...

Then, on the perfect March day, he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, and I said YES!

Then 5 months later, we were hitched. To see more about our wedding click here.

Fast forward 8 months later...

Then 9 months later...

Blake is the most selfless, loving, talented, kind, funny, and thoughtful person I know. I have loved him for a very long time, and each day my love for him grows more than I ever thought it could. We make a great team and I really, truly, don't know how I would get through this crazy life without him. God placed us in each others lives and had a plan laid out for us far before we even thought about each other. I'm forever thankful that He brought me to Blake and that He brought us back together when He did. 

My other favorite little guy is our sweet Judah Beau! He has only been on this earth for 8 weeks (today!!) but he has completely stolen our hearts. Oh, how The Lord has blessed us! We love this sweet baby and love watching him grow. 

These are my guys and I love them BIG!
