one year

Alan and I ran away for a little bit to celebrate our first year of marriage.

We left yesterday afternoon for Atlanta and returned tonight.

Even though it was a short trip it was perfect.

 Nothing like a fluffy white hotel bed!

 Hotel keys, map, etc.

 pretty

 Complimentary Breakfast!

 It's as if our creamers are sharing a little kiss haha

 Alan couldn't stop staring at this old ride:)

Oh we also went to IKEA!

 It was my first time and I was hooked.

We ended up just buying some amazing fabric

 (I'll post pictures of future projects using the fabric later)

 Baked Tilapia Meal for $5- deal!!!

 Swedish Meatballs at Ikea!

Goodbye Atlanta

encouragement for those apart

Long distance relationships can be tough but it's not the end of the world.

It's amazing how creative you can get when you can't physically be in the same place.

Here are a few gift ideas

 A necklace for your lady to remind her that you're not far away.

 Although social media has taken over, does not mean you can't write to eachother the old fashioned way.

Or a wall hanging for your office.

Also if you do not have a mac, you should invest in a webcam. It helps to see eachother.

If there are any long distancers out there then feel free to talk to me,
Alan was in Minnesota and I was in Alabama for nine months.

You can get through it

Local Love: Durbin Farms

A week ago Alan and I drove down to Auburn on a little adventure!

On the way I took him to one of my favorite roadtrip pit stops: Durbin Farms

They have all kinds of fresh produce and flowers and best of all is the peach ice cream they make in house!

Don't forget to go on adventures with your loved ones, they'll mean more than you know later down the road
