SECOND Anniversary!

Well folks, another year come & gone! Tuesday the 17th we celebrated our TWO year anniversary. Pretty crazy, I can't believe it's already been that long, seriously flown by!

The day started with me flying back from Georgia to spend the evening with my lover! When I got home all I honestly wanted to do was snuggle up to my hubby of two years, eat homemade pizza together and watch The Bachelorette. Kind of a low-key date, but it was so perfect to me! We had a fabulous night together and that was all that mattered!

Jonathan's parents were sweet and gave us a cute card and a gift card to Outback Steakhouse for our anniversary. So a few nights after our day we went out for a nice dinner and movie to have an offical celebration!


I love my best friend and am so grateful for all we've been able to accomplish together in these two years. We grow closer and more in love every day and are lucky we get to have eachother for forever! 
I love this life I live! 

End of FL/GA trip


When we got back home to GA we came back to a new change in the house! My parents had the second story living room filled in with a big bedroom on the second story so the house looked so different but so awesome! Now there's plenty of room for Ryan,Brittany& Avery to live in for the next year as he finishes up school, and more room for when we all visit! 
But before we all had to make our seperate depaurtures from the trip we had to of course have our annual family photoshoot!
 A traditional Cushman Bum shot!









Then we celebrated Dad's birthday! (with trick candles I might ad!)

Then we said our goodbyes to Jonathan (who had major flight drama... stupid United Airlines and cancelling his flight!) and Jordan and Brooke (who we hope to visit really soon)! So that meant I got one more extra day with the fam all to myself! We made a trip to IKEA (my first time!) where I got some new curtains and got to dream about amazing things I could to to my home if I had unlimited funds! 
Making the trip with this babe made it even more entertaining!
 *cracking up!*
This is her "cheese" face!

Testing out the beds! haha Avery!!! She loves going "night-night" she jumps up and down when she sees a bed and screams night-night over and over! Then she'll even lay in the beds and pretend sleep/snore. It's the cutest thing ever!!
 We ended the Ikea trip with some icecream, although if you count the Chick-fil-a chicken nugget Avery found in her carseat on the way home I guess she ended the trip with that! All of sudden in the car we hear her go "mmm-hmm" and find her eating a chicken nugget from a few hours prior! What a goofball!

It was sad (as always) to leave my fam. But I love that I get to visit often. And I was also anxious to get back to my sweet husband to celebrate our two-year anniversary! Woohoo!

Downtown Disney

On our trip we got to spend two evenings enjoying the magical, Downtown Disney:






Avery really enjoyed the legos puppies! She makes the cutest impression of a dog when you ask her what a puppy says :)
Avery was also spoiled with the cutest mini mouse stuffed animal, though she wanted to take ALL of the stuffed animals home!
On our last night of the trip sadly we were missing Dad (working in Tampa) and Ryan (driving back to GA for school) but the rest of us enjoyed an evening at the Rainforest Cafe!

Jonathan and Summer being awkward.... haha

Mom & her girls!
Connor & his cute girlfriend Rachel (Ray-Ray as Avery calls her!)

It was a fun family dinner, then we enjoyed more walking/shopping for one last night in Florida!
And you can't forget the many emotions of Little Miss Avery during our Downtown Disney adventure!
Gosh I love that little stinker!

Island's of Adventure!

Monday of our trip Mom&Dad treated us all to a day at Island's of Adventure, it was an awesome day, especially as we were able to experience 'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter' I had been dying to go there!
The most delicious drink!!
 Avery has a blast at the Dr. Suess Land! It was so cute to watch! She gets really serious on rides, especially the carisol, but then when you go to take her off she says, "more, more, more!" and then usually cries cause she misses it!
 We even got Connor a wheelchair since he was fresh off his knee surgery! He was kind enough to let us all have a ride throughout the long HOT day!
 By the end of the night we were all feeling like this sweet baby was!
It was awesome to experience this park as a family! Thanks parentals!! :)
