A year in photos

I can't believe Luke will be ONE tomorrow!! It just baffles my mind that he is already 1, but at the same time that he has ONLY been in our lives for 1 year!

I will write more tomorrow for his 1 year post, and birthday party!

Here is a little year in photos collage....

Happy Friday Friends!

March

Well here it is....March, my favorite month of the entire year!

There are many reasons I love the month of March, not only is it a beautiful time of year here in Arizona, but I have had some amazing things happen in this month. Lets start off with a list...

1. In March of 2004, Nick and I began "officially" dating. I went to Oklahoma with his family to see him graduate boot camp. Keep in mind I had only known him 2 weeks, when I met him that previous December before he went back for his last 3 months of boot camp. His mom must have known this was the real deal to invite a girl on a family trip to go see him! (oh, how I LOVE my MIL)

2. Nick left for Afghanistan in December of 2006, but had to go to North Carolina first for training. He got to come home for a week in MARCH before he was off to Afghanistan.

3. Nick got horribly sick in Afghanistan with Malaria when he only had about 3 months left in Afghanistan. He was sent to Germany to get treated at their hospital. He got sent back to the states, but he still had to got to Fort Huachuca until the rest of his troops got home, and guess which Month that was...MARCH! He was finally home for good!

4. I really wanted to get married in March, but the location we wanted only had February 28th available. So we took it. It was only 1 day away from being in March. I know this technically doesn't count, but still, it was so close!

5. Last, but certainly not least, my sweet, sweet baby boy was born in March. March 17,  2011 was the best day of our lives!!

March will forever be such a great month for me, for so many reasons. I look forward to it every year!!

Speaking of March....my little man will be 1 in 13 days. I can't even believe it!!
