Thank you for being the best Mom in the whole world. For always scratching my back and telling me stories when I couldn’t fall asleep. For teaching me good manners & what is right & wrong. Thank you for always being the Mom who drove all the kids to the school dances & let us sing at the top of our lungs like we were Trisha Yearwood. And thank you for continuing to teach me the larger lessons in life.
I love you,
J
Okay, okay…So our wedding didn’t make the cover of StyleMePretty’s “Best Of 2012 Wedding Magazine“ but we did make in in the magazine which I have to say is the most flattering compliment that my wedding has ever received!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: You just gotta give it up for Beth Helmstetter & Lauren Ross. While there were dozens and dozens of great talent behind our big day, these are the two women who made it happen and captured it all!

I am often asked to write more on the blog, but rarely do I feel the need. You can only say so much about a pair of heels and I try to save my words for when they count most. I wanted to take a moment to wish you all an incredibly happy holiday season. Before we know it, December will have come and gone along with the joys {and sorrows} of the season that is meant to make us all the cheeriest. But what is it about Christmas that brings out so many different emotions? Is it the gifts under the tree, or the pressure to put gifts under the tree? Perhaps it is the lights in the windows that take you back to your first Christmas tree lighting? Maybe for you, it is the smell of a home cooked meal that reminds you there’s no place like Mom’s kitchen. Or the picturesque view of a snowman resting in your front yard that, when you were a child, seemed worthy of being magically brought to life. The holidays are happy, the holidays are sad. A funny thing happened the other day that gave me a clue as to why I, like many others, feel happy:sad during the holidays.
Dear Husband,
Happy 1 Year Anniversary my dear. Time has flown by so fast that I am saddened. If every year continues at such rapid pace, I worry that I will be left feeling like there just wasn’t enough time to see your beautiful face, hear your amazing laugh and learn everything there is to know about you.
Thank you for making me smile every day, for taking all of my pictures for my blog, for making me coffee, for letting me be me, for all of the small things you do for me that I don’t even see. Thank you for loving me.
X, J
It’s been a year since I tied the knot. So, what have I learned? Nothing! {Kidding}. Click below to read the full scoop on what I’ve learned in my first year after saying “I Do.”
My Dad sent me this today. It’s the busiest time of year for him as he’s currently harvesting our cotton crop. That’s right, for those of you who don’t know, I’m a farmer’s daughter born and raised in South Texas. These pictures are cotton that has been harvested and is ready to be sent to the gin mill. Farmer’s usually spray paint their “bales” of cotton so when it gets to the gin they know where it came from. Kind of funny that he put Damsel in Dior. Who knows, maybe our cotton will eventually make it’s way back into the clothes that some of you who read this very blog will wear one day.
She had style, but more importantly she had grace. I’m wrapped up in her quilt today remembering our times together.
In loving memory.
