Life as we know it...crazy!

We were able to celebrate our little Evie's 1st Birthday with our family and some close friends. It was a tropical theme. It started off as just a pineapple theme, for a few reasons. E loves pineapple, she is so sweet, and has made our little family stand taller with happiness. Also... Spencer and I love Hawaii and all of the fresh pineapple there. As I started trying to get decorations, I sort of went a little crazy and that's when I decided to change it to a tropical theme. Most of you probably don't even care about this, but one day I am going to look back and want my free time and excitement planning parties (at least that's what I am telling myself). I did keep the decorations pretty simple, but the simplicity of them made the whole party pull together. I decided to give balloon arches a try, as they seem to be simple but so cute to look at. I did two different ones, a "pineapple" one and "pink tropical". I got all of the balloons at Zurchers.

Now I know throughout life we all endure "life changing" events. First love, first kiss, graduating high school, break-ups, starting and graduating college, getting engaged, and getting married, etc. Yes all are life changing, in many different ways. All bring their rewards and all bring different challenges. For me the biggest life changing event thus far in my life is by far giving birth to my sweet Evelyn Rue. It is a day I hope to never forget, as it truly did change my life and shaped me into someone I had no idea I needed to become. It has been one year since my rough labor that brought her to us. It has been one year of growth (for me and Evelyn), one year of laughter, tears, and more. I thought I could make time freeze, but time laughed at my request and said "No way," So this blog is going to be different compared to my other blog posts. This blog is for my Evelyn, Evie girl, Evie Sweetie, Evie Rue, E, baby girl, sweetie, honey, sweet girl, sis, little miss
