ONE YEAR LATER

I can’t believe I’m writing this post.

It’s so hard to believe that one year ago today, I walked down the aisle towards my husband. Everyone told me that my wedding would be the best day of my life, but I was not prepared for the amount of love, gratefulness, and down-right fun I felt on that day. Part of my wedding story was shared on Brides.com, but pictures and words can’t do justice to how magical the day was.
My husband and I dated on and off for 9 years before getting married, and we bought a condo together before we were engaged, so I can’t say much changed when we got married. Which honestly, I think is the best part. To feel the same way about someone as you did when you were 18 is something very special, and I can’t wait to celebrate each milestone year of our marriage.
I didn’t plan on this post being super sentimental, but I can’t help but feeling emotional today as I look back on our photos. One of the best advices I received right before our wedding day was to make sure we took a second to really soak in the day. Right before my husband and I walked into our reception, about to be introduced as husband and wife, I peaked into the door to see 97 people joined together. Ninety-seven people from different points in our lives who traveled to New York City, dress up, and celebrate with us. How lucky were we? I hope I never lose the way I felt at that moment.
I’m officially turning off my sappy-switch (until dinner tonight when we celebrate), but I wanted to share some photos from our day. Cheers to my husband and I, and for many more anniversaries. The best is yet to come.

If you don’t take a photo of palm trees, are you If you don’t take a photo of palm trees, are you even in Florida? 🌴 Just realized today is Monday, not Sunday, which means it’s Bachelor night. I’m all in this season and fully invested, because what else do I have to do on a Monday night other than judge a ton of people on a reality show? Also, what is up with Queen Victoria?
We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and no We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and now that Jude is getting older, we’re really loving family movie nights! So we’re SO excited for Disney+’s new original movie Flora & Ulysses, streaming February 19th! Flora & Ulysses is about a girl named who befriends a squirrel she rescues named Ulysses, and learns he possesses unique superhero powers that take them on an adventure that changes Flora’s life. I also love that it’s based on a book, and I can’t wait for Jude to watch it since he’s obsessed with the squirrels in our neighborhood. 😂 You can swipe right to check or visit the link in my bio to watch the full trailer for @Floraandulysses, streaming exclusively on Disney+ February 19th! @DisneyStudios #FloraAndUlysses #DisneyPlus #ad #hbtfloraulysses
Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowin Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowing in Chicago, but we took the boys to a nearby botanical garden (we were the only people there) and enjoyed the 70 degree weather so much, I stopped missing the snow reaaaal quick. 😉 Also the @sollybaby wrap may be our most used baby product. It’s so comfortable, easy to put on, and Heath absolutely loves it. I may start carrying Olive in it when he’s too big for it.
Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of the fourth trimester and we’re really starting to see his little personality come through. He gives the most hilarious judgmental looks (who can blame him? He’s a 2020 baby), smiles when anyone talks to him, and loves to watch his big brother play.  He’s only been here for a few days but he’s loving the Florida sunshine! ☀️ #heyheathjoseph #childhoodunplugged #babyboy #lifewithlittles
After driving 24 hours we finally made it to paren After driving 24 hours we finally made it to parents’ house in Florida! Driving with two kids under two, two dogs, and enough suitcases to dress an army was hectic to say the least, but it’s always the crazy ideas that make the best memories. And even though we’re not going anywhere, the change of scenery and ability to be outside is going to be such a treat for us. Jude is already living his best life in nothing but a diaper while Olive has already traumatized the ducks in the backyard. 😂 Side note: this gallery wall at their house is my favorite, and I can’t believe how much Jude looks like my dad as a baby (third photo from the top left!) #heyjudeharrison
Proof I own sneakers. Also proof I don’t really Proof I own sneakers. Also proof I don’t really know what to do with them because I wore them in wet snow. 🥴 Took this guy to his 2 year appointment today. I can’t believe we have an almost 2 year old! #heyjudeharrison
