Engagement Session

Ever since we had Rowan, Andy and I felt that pictures of just the two of us were awkward. It just seems so empty without our bright-eyed boys front and center. So when Tasha said she was going to snap a few of 'just us' while the boys had a break from pictures we were like “OH NO!” Let me tell you it was not smooth sailing to start. Tasha told us to kiss… oh man, AWKWARD! We kissed. With our eyes wide open. All of us burst into laughter. (Fortunately we got more natural very quickly.) As soon as I got the pictures back I was thrilled! I was also awe-struck that I still have a HUGE crush on my husband. The more I looked through them I realized I truly enjoyed seeing our love for each other in print. I don’t see two people who are just married and living in the same house. I see two people who are in love… who share the same goals… who want the best for each other. I know first-hand that being in love hasn’t always been easy for Andy and I. If you knew us when we first started dating you may be surprised we made it this far! But you know what, having our boys changed all of that. Let me just say there is nothing sexier than seeing your husband taking care of your child. Andy makes me so proud. He is so motivated, even-tempered and realistic. He really balances me out, oh and he just oozes coolness. Parenting really brought our relationship to a whole new level. I can honestly say we are more in love than ever, and it is so fun and easy with him. It is such a wonderful thing to have these pictures as a reminder that there is always time for us in the midst of all this parenting chaos.

First off, seriously the title is just killing me with laughter!! Haha :) I knew that the title was meant to make me laugh! So, thanks! Even though, I made that funny comment about engagement pictures, I really LOVE all these ones of you guys!

It's about time you had some pictures of the two of you, but I can totally understand how they seem empty without the boys! And I can't wait to see how they come together in your house! YAY!

I love you two more than words!!
