i met this boy in december 1999 thanks to his awesome sister (yah chi-o!). he invited me to his first usmc ball in 2001. i followed him around for years, got to marry him in 2006, and just last week we went to our 12th ball together.
(i know that doesn’t add up - he was deployed for the ball in 2010).
- back in the day with a ridiculously special couple

my parents were just here for a week (such a great visit – that’s another post to write) so we got adjoining rooms at the hotel and they watched our girls while we had a fun evening just being us. thanks mom & dad!
we were calling it the ‘hotel party’ for anabelle. she packed a bag full of toys and picked out new pj’s at target on the way, actually two pair.

love this shot of ema trying to get back to me.
this was chris’ first year in his new uniform. sort of weird sometimes to stop and think about how experienced and senior he is now. he’s an expert at what he does and i’m so very proud of him.
i love being kids together and having kids together!

this year i rented my dress and jewelry from rent the runway. if you’ve been thinking about trying them i totally recommend it! the reviews on there are so helpful and the whole process turned out to be super easy. this dress was so comfy!
we had a yummy room service breakfast picnic all together before my parents had to head back to florida. was a busy, full, fast week. so miss them!
these little ones had a great time too. anabelle is in love with her new nightgown (her first) and emilymae enjoyed playing with whatever she could get her hands on.
happy birthday marine corps and thanks m&r for EVERYTHING!
