{So! There's always a problem where I piece outfits together, post it, and then I get asked where certain items are from so they can shop them too, but the items are usually sold out. I have this clothing hoarding issue where I keep everything. I think I still have shoes from 7th grade that I'm keeping for that rainy day occasion..so, like I said.. it's an issue. I've attached some links to similar items of some of this outfit so you can shop ALMOST the same exact clothes I am wearing here ;) } similar cape here & here |...

B O Y !  WHAT. ACTUAL. WHAT. I thought in this moment: There's no way. First of all, we had the gender in an envelope a week before we opened it. A week! I was going insane! We both wholeheartedly thought this little nugget was a girl. I was in DISBELIEF, to put it lightly. I'm sure the photos speak volumes... haha! It honestly took me all week to comprehend the thought of a boy, it was such a huge shock! Mine and Andrew's families are FULL of girls and I have two darling red headed nieces I'm super close...

after a long time of waiting, we are beyond thrilled to welcome a little addition to our family! andrew and i come from very close families, so starting one together was a no-brainer. timing is a funny thing, you think you have this idea in your head of a perfect scenario, and of course it never ends up the way you expect it to! this little one didn't quite want to leave heaven until the time it did, but we are so grateful to finally be here in the place we've waited to be in. i know i have so much...

surprise, surprise! we tripped to Magnolia, yet again. in my defense, they make it pretty easy to be obsessed with them when they're only a couple hours from home. In Texas language, a two hour drive isn't a road trip. It's a quick trip. In everywhere else language, that's normally ridiculous, haha! my mom and I really enjoy tripping to waco every now and then, but as Magnolia's popularity increases by the millions, we don't find ourselves going as often as we used to. Only because the place is more packed than Disneyland literally every single day of the week....
