First Anniversary!

I can't believe a whole year has flown by. If I had to use one word to describe the past year, it would be... blissfully-blessed. Okay, it's not really one word, but I hyphenated it.
Truly, I am just in awe of God's blessings poured out on our lives. Matthew and I were able to reminisce, relax, and reconnect at Tybee Beach last weekend to celebrate our anniversary. My mom's BFF gave us a temporary stay at her beach house as a wedding gift, and we knew it'd be a great plan to save it for exactly one year later!

It's like it was yesterday! 
This was the view from the back porch!
The weather was perfect!
I was feeling a bit artistic!
(Matthew and I have opposite feet, mine are small and wide, his are big and narrow. It's the perfect match!) :) 
We Smiths love a little competition, and we can't just sit and veg, so we played our favorite beach game - golf holes (we need a better name though). As you can guess, there are two holes about 10 yards apart and you try to get your balls in the opposite hole by tossing or rolling them. It's truly a gentleman's sport!
We ate like royalty too! We made french toast, grits and scrambled egg-whites almost every morning.
Time to read and drink tons of coffee together on the porch was one of my favorite parts!
I was beating Matthew the whole week!!!
Freshly caught seafood made for a great dinner one night!
This is the Robertson's unbelievable 3 story beach house!
We could walk out of our place, over the bridge, and onto the beach!
I FOLDED UNDER THE PRESSURE ON THE LAST DAY!!! UGH

We had such an amazing time. Thank you Robertsons!
I am the most blessed woman on the planet, and I want to thank God for the gift of my husband every day of my life!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
