Twenty Six Years.

This week my parents celebrate their twenty-sixth wedding anniversary.

I couldn't be more honored to be the daughter of two such incredible, strong, loving people. 

I thank my father in heaven EVERY day for being sent to their family.

I am in constant awe at the love my parents share.

I have watched and taken notes for as long as I can remember of all of the amazing things my parents have done to be sure I could be HALF of the spouse/parent that they are. 

I feel so blessed to have a father who has worked so hard for years to provide for our family so that our mother could be home with us. 

I am grateful that my parents were actively involved in my life. That they were always concerning themselves with what was going on in my daily life and who my friends were.

I feel so blessed for their love and support throughout all of my life decisions, good and bad. 

I feel blessed to have such an incredible relationship with them both and am grateful that relationship continues to get stronger. 

I love you mom & dad.

I will never be able to thank you enough for being the best parents, the best friends and examples I needed in this life.

I hope I have become a daughter, woman, wife and mother that you are proud of. 

Thank you for loving each other.

For living righteously and being sealed in the temple so our family can be together forever and we can be reunited with our sweet Hunter some day.

Happy Anniversary.

Bijou Market + Weekend + Sunday Style.

Friday afternoon I headed down to Provo to check out the first Bijou Market of the year.

I went last fall and FELL in love with the amazing handmade goodies and the fun atmosphere.

This year I took my sister Aubrey, my Grandma Goold and my two cousins Annika and Sarah.

(Last year I went alone so I was so SO excited to take a group this year)

I was like a child on Christmas morning.

As soon as I walked through the door I was instantly thrilled about all of the fun things I saw waiting inside for me to buy and take home!

I was so excited to see some of my favorite shops at the market along with lots of new ones!

My sister Aubrey got an ADORABLE owl clock from Say Hello. 

She Loves Owls. 

I picked up a handful of goodies including some DELICIOUS jam from Anne Made, some Happy Mail Stickers from LivyLoveDesigns, a new toy truck for Hunter and my FIRST wall art for my soon to be gallery wall.

Seriously my FAVORITE time of the year.

Can't wait until the Fall market.

Friday, we also did lunch at Cafe Rio and ice cream at the Creamery with Uncle Russ & Sarah (who were visiting from Sacramento), Grandma, Grandpa, Annika and Aubrey.

Saturday we headed up North for my cousin Nathan's Eagle Court of honor.

We did some shopping on our way and got lots of cute decor to FINALLY start putting together my gallery wall in the entry way.

The Court of Honor was lovely.

My cousin Jessica came from Texas (cause it was her brother getting his Eagle) and I was so excited to spend a few hours with her.

We were roommates at Carriage Cove when I first moved to Utah, got married two weeks apart and have been best friends since we were little.

I love and miss this girl so much.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
