Happy Birthday Ian!

So, I can brag on Ian a little bit today because it's his birthday!! (well technically tomorrow, the 14th) Ian is awesome! I'm so glad that he is mine! Sorry ladies, but I really got the best.
He has worked AND gone to school ever since we've been married. You are probably thinking, "shouldn't he be done with school by now, then?" Yes. He is. And he keeps going back. Don't be surprised if he makes you call him Dr. Stratton someday. hahaha.
Ian is my motivator. He makes life fun, exciting, and interesting! I am so lucky to be able to laugh and have so much fun with my husband. There seriously is no one I would rather spend eternity with!

You're the best babe! Happy Birthday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I feel like I haven't stopped since Thanksgiving, which was great by the way. I honestly can't believe it's already December 9th! wow. I'll update this thing someday, but just wanted to say Merry Christmas!
In the meantime enjoy this vid....Love it!

E.T. Highway Marathon

So... This took place a couple of months ago and the only reason I haven't posted anything about it is because these two ladies didn't want anyone to see their picture.....WHATEVER! Sorry ladies! I think your awesome and beautiful! BUT I especially think that guy with you is smokin hot! THEY DID A 10K AT MIDNIGHT ON ET HIGHWAY! They did awesome! It was Ian's first one and he seriously did really good. I cheered them on from the truck...asleep. oops. You guys are my hero's :D

I love my husband and he loves me!

More North Carolina!

The majority of our time was spent on the beach! Soakin up the sun, listening to the waves, we did a lot of boogie boarding and we got this sweet raft that caught some good waves!

Ian actually got pretty tan, this was one of the first days we were there.

The morning we got up to watch the sunrise it was a little overcast. But we still saw it through the clouds, and it was cool to see all the shrimpin boats out there!

We went to Oak Island. This is the sweet lighthouse.(and the sweet picture of the lighthouse that Melissa took!)

This is downtown Wilmington. It was awesome! Oh look. there's Chase.

I just thought this picture was funny! We had to go to the laundromat, so we played UNO while we were waiting for our clothes. This is Chases poker face.

We had a blast! If you ever get the chance to go back there-do it!! The beaches are awesome. Clean, pretty, and the water is warm!(not like California!) We didn't want to come home. On our way home we stayed in Atlanta, which was a really cool city! I didn't get very many pics, and none of them were really good. It's definitely a cool place that I would love to go and spend some more time in! Then Ian and I flew out of Birmingham, AL. It was really hard to say goodbye. We miss Chase and Meliss a ton! Yes. i cried a little, maybe a lot.

Fort Fisher Aquarium (NC Cont.)

We went to the Aquarium while we were there and I loved it! We saw lots of cool stuff!

Can you find us??

This HUGE crab was waving to them- i guess?

Sea horse!! I think this was my favorite thing! I have never seen one in real life!

Was there any doubt that Chase and Ian would get in the crab? no.

Getting up close and personal with the sea animals

I wasn't as brave as Ian
