Thanks For The Memories 2015!

2015 has been filled with so much happiness.

Don't get me wrong, it had its moments - some ups & downs- but ultimately there was too much good that surrounded us to not remember this year as a year of joy. .

New discoveries were made, about who we are as a family.

About what is important to us.

We celebrated Caroline's 1st birthday and she started walking. We moved & bought our first house in Fairhope. Found out we are adding another little girl to the family. Caroline started her education journey with nursery school. Joseph relocated to a new store which is minutes from the house. I celebrated my 1st year with Disney. We had our 2nd wedding anniversary. We've made new friends & gotten even closer with some family members. Went went on trips, made new traditions and grew as a family. 

My list could go on for days about all the things that happened in 2015.

I'd rather just share some of my favorite memories with you though :)
Get ready... & let's rewind through the year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every photo brings a smile to my face & reminds me of the great memory that they now represent.

2015 - you've been wonderful & I'll never forget you. Thank you for helping me grow into the wife & mother that I'm proud to be. I know I'm still learning but this year has really opened my eyes. I've learned a lot and plan to use what I've learned to continue to better myself as a person and grow our family as a unit. 

2016 - I can't wait to see what you have in store for us! Here come the Turner's :) + one more. 

Mini Post: Day Trip

Today Caroline & I went to Niceville for the day.
It wasn't for anything special, it was a just because kind of trip.

We left in the morning and got there in time for some yummy lunch my mom cooked up for everyone.
Prime. Rib. Sandwiches.& parsley potatoes! my mouth is watering just thinking about it again. 
Did you know my mom is a chef. Not really. But we've been bombarding her with some business ideas forever to get her to spread her magical food to the community.
It would be a blessing to them. ;)

We spent time together and ran some errands.
We went on base & out to Destin.
I got Caroline her first pair of TOMs. They're pretty cute.
She doesn't know yet just how stylish she is. But everyone else does :D
Matt got some spiffy new attire too.
His New Years Eve wardrobe is pretty dapper. Can't wait to see pictures!

The weather was horrendous. Just plain awful.
Prior to today I had said if the weather was bad that I wouldn't be making the trip.
Well, clearly I still went.

I don't know why - or what's different but I've really been missing my family lately.
It's so nice just to be able to hang out and spend time with them instead of having a million and one things to do while we're together.

I miss living 20 minutes away from them.
But I won't complain about my hours and 45 minutes.
[It used to be 7 1/2 hours between us.] 

When we visit, the days always seem to fly by. I don't get it.
It's like before I even realize it, it's time to head home.
I always cry in the car as I'm leaving. Shh.
 [I guess that will go on my pregnancy survey as my most recent cry....]

There is always next time though.
The next time I'll be in Niceville is for Baby Hadley's Sprinkle!
-unless I just go randomly again!- lol
you never know!
