2012 {Recap!}

WOOOOO-WEEE!

2012 has been REALLY eventful. Full of fall ins, fall outs, ups, downs, and the event that took the crown.. Mr Baiden being born. So lets recap this roller-coaster year!

Going through all the albums on my computer has been quite the blast to the past, and quite the task trying to pick ONE event in that month, and pick ONE pic. So my only advice is to follow the links and read the whole blog post! (If there is a link)

(Disclaimer: My life is an open book. I post a lot of pics. Key people in my life are in a lot of my pics.The internet world notices when things in the personal life change, even if i didnt officially talk about it on my blog. So out of respect for those involved, ill give a brief statement, but lets not ask too many questions lol)

 January was my fitness/weight loss PEAK after struggling for so long (9 months) with my newly discovered disease (February 2011) hypothyroidism and finding my right dose.

--------------------------------------------------------

See what i mean! Crazy roller coaster year.
more ups then downs though for sure!

i lost 2 best friends, BUT gained (& rekindled) 2 best friends.

I know my life sounds dramatic in the friend department, but all i will say, is that i wasnt the one who threw the friendships away if you catch my drift. Im not going into detail, and please dont ask questions. But all i have to say, is that life gets the best of us sometimes. We are young, we make mistakes. Its sad to watch, but sometimes you just gotta let your loved ones have their time and know when to not let it bring you down. Ok, enough with that.

Getting pregnant after my miscarriage last year was amazing and i was so stoked for our new baby! My pregnancy was AMAZING! We had SO much fun this year with parks, camping, boating, bbq's, cabins adventures, concerts, carnivals, birthdays, holidays, HOLY CRAP! We met AMAZING friends this year who we have to thank for the rekindling, majority of the fun events, but most importantly, friends we can call family. People who would literally go to battle for us. Support us. Was there for me through hard times, Etc.

This was also the year for my photography business! I started photography the end of March of 2011. 2011 was my learning year, 2012 was my branching out and growth year! If you're interested in my work, head of over to my blog and follow it! :) http://chrissyannphotography.blogspot.com

So CHEERS to 2013!
I have a feeling its going to be even better then 2012

Half a DECADE Married......

(all pics in this post are from our dinner date celebrating our 5th anniversary this year)

Its true guys. Ive been married for half a decade!! Jeff and I have almost 7 years together, and 5 years married officially under our belt! On November 10th 2007, i married the love of my life. I was 18, and he was 19. Everyone told us we wouldnt last.. we were too young.. i could do better.. but here we are, 23 and 24 years old, own 3 vehicles, own a house, 2 babies, and 5 years HAPPILY married!

When i met Jeff, I was 16, doing well in high school. Working on getting my CNA (which i accomplished) had college plans. Was working and paying my own car insurance etc. I was the good little "church" girl who had so much going for her. Jeff was 17 years old, a high school drop out working at a tire and lube shop living at his mom's who still made sandwiches for him ;) I understand why people doubted us (especially doubted Jeff), But i saw so much more in Jeff. I fell in love with my little bad boy stereotype with piercings, tattoos and smoked cigarettes. I looked past all the blinders and saw who Jeff was on the inside. A boy who had lived a hard life but despite all that, was a beautiful person who had goals for himself. He wanted to better himself. And i wanted to be there to encourage his journey.

We had MANY bumps in the road, but Jeff was ALWAYS building, growing, bettering himself. He brought out the best in me. I had my own issues. We complimented each other so well. We grew this bond for each other that was so deep. We relied on each other more than anyone can understand. We tried to date other people being as we were so young..but it never felt right. We always went running back to each other within a matter of days.

  By the time we got married, Jeff got his GED, was paying rent in  his mom's legit basement apartment, just got a new job at Pepsi Cola bottling Company that had awesome benefits, yada yada. We got married.. bought a house in 2008, a month later, got pregnant with our daughter Braylee. She was born June 23rd 2009, and 3 years later.. we had our little Bade man, born September 23rd 2012.

Life couldnt get any better. Jeff treats me like his queen, and i'd do anything for that man. We are equally yolked. Step by step, together in unison. I'd be lost without him, no doubt about that. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. He gave me my beautiful children.. im loving our life together and i get this overwhelming happiness and satisfaction picturing our future MANY MANY years together ahead of us. Together forever.

(Bray took the left pic, dont mind my 12 chin.. we werent ready, i was throwing my head back to laugh, and it was an awkward angle haha! Besides! I had just had a baby a month prior.. dont judge me! LOL)

Happy 5th Anniversary babe!
