Happy 1st Year to My Hunny!

Hooray let's celebrate
Always so thoughtful of me
Play hard, work hard
Proud to be a Rowley
Y aprendo español

Fun(ner) than I ever thought
I learn something new from you every day
Ready for another great year
So many ruined dinners : /
Three hundred and sixty five good night kisses

Adventures shared together
Never ending car repairs
Now I love him even more
It's all about working together
Very important communication
Extraordinarily funny moments
Really learning to budget

Always feeling safe and secure
Relaxing and quiet moments together
Years and years of love to come

Kathryne's Birthday and Celtic Woman

Kathryne had a birthday!!! All the girls had a fun birthday dinner with her at Blue Lemon {so fresh & tasty} What an exciting and FUNNY night it was. Doesn't Kathryne look great, just like one of the daughters, and Grandma Ruby too {all dressed up}.

Shane and I went with Rogan and Kim to Celtic Woman. They are an Irish vocal group, and they are truly phenomenal! Their voices are so pure and beautiful. We were so entertained and impressed the whole night.  If you don't know who they are, look them up... you'll fall in love!

Mom's Birthday Getaway

We had a fun and relaxing weekend in St. George... hiking, swimming, eating, playing tennis, playing cards, and going to Brian Regan {SUPER FUNNY}

My mom {die-hard hiker} made us go to that tree

There's the tree at the top!

I love the Tuacon Theater, the outside atmosphere is so fun.

Been Busy with Flowers

So whenever I have a wedding my kitchen turns into a floral shop. It's crazy, but fun. Shane loves to sit and watch and keep me company. I love asking his opinion for some reason {even though I know he doesn't care too much} He decided to take pictures of me in addition to the pictures of the flowers {so please excuse the mess and the frazzled-end-of-the-day-look that I have going on}

The "shabby chic" wedding turned out pretty cute see more flower pics at www.thebloomingoccasions.com
