I love that you are always on my team. I love your dance moves, especially to the song, Cheerleader. I love your determination and desire to always be the best you can be. I  love the fact that you will take the time to use Mr. Peanut Butter Lid, Mr. Burts Bees, and Lt. Cactus to explain military terms to me. I love your passion for learning. You are one of the most intelligent people I know and I am constantly learning from you.  I love that you always push me to be a better person, challenge me, and support me no matter how crazy my ideas and dreams are. You make the best travel pal a girl could ask for and can make one heck of a travel itinerary. I love that you are a detailed list maker, and I am not. I love that you are always down for an adventure. I am also super thankful that you close all the drawers and cabinets that I accidentally leave open. I love that we make a great team and our little dream life we have lived this past year. I also think your the most handsome.

Happy birthday, Ben! You da best. Here’s to 23.

  • When we lived in Europe I would take my camera on every little weekend getaway and big trip Ben and I went on. Those photos and videos are some of my most favorite to look back on. Nowadays I spend a lot more time capturing other’s lives and weekends (which is lovely too) but last weekend it was fun to pull the camera out again to capture our own little life.
  • I love this little face so much it hurts. I present to you Walter living his best life in his Christmas pajamas since we are both firm believers in staying comfortable while we work from home.
  • This weekend was just what we needed. Fall in Asheville showed up in a big way. A weekend spent cozying up in a cabin by the fire, reading, and hiking with @benwradford was just perfect. Living at the beach is nice and all but man we miss those mountains and that crisp air.
  • A few moments after they vowed “in sickness and in health, with or without chapstick” 😂 This wedding has spent a whole lot of time on my screen this week and I don’t mind it one bit!
  • It’s a good day. Delivered a gallery this morning while sipping coffee with the windows open and pup by my side. Now just waiting for the roommates to get home for some doubles tennis and date night. Happy Saturday! ✨
  • A few years ago Ben took me to Paris to celebrate my 23rd birthday, last year I spent a few days there before getting to reunite with Ben on deployment, and this past weekend I booked a flight to Paris to spend a few weeks there next year and I am still freaking out! This year has been crazier and more hectic than probably sustainable but I am already getting so excited for all that is in store for next year (but also vow to never have my google calendar look like it did this year ever again.)
  • What a guy. Missing him this week and looking forward to when we are actually home for more than a few days to soak up this fall weather 🍂🍁 This is the first weekend we will be home together in almost two months and I can’t wait! 📸: @majatsolophotography
  • I don’t even have adequate words to describe yesterday so I’ll just let this picture speak for itself. I can’t thank @kay_laubach4 and @nalaub enough for letting me be a part of their day. Celebrating you two is so easy.
