Looking back on 2014

As I was gathering pictures for this post, I thought "What a FUN year!" There was so much to choose from but I just picked some of my favorites.

I'm so glad to have this blog to look back on everything I've documented.. there were some things that I completely forgot about!

Hopper Wedding... Couples Shower

OOPS! 

I missed one more of our wedding showers that was thrown for us! This was our very first shower.

It was held just down the road from us at a place called The Judson House. It was the coolest little coffee shop/sandwich place in which I said I was going to go back to and never did.. and one day I drove by and it had closed. Boo.

We had TONS of food.. as you can see.. and it was DELISH!

Mom and Connie
