David turned 30 this weekend! We rang in the start of a new decade on Highway 1 with a view of the ocean. Last year was pretty amazing and all signs are pointing in the direction of fantastic-ness for the year ahead.
It is a gift to spend every day with someone who laughs so easily and loves so genuinely.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been back from Paris for an entire month. Our time in Paris was romantic and fun. The food was phenomenal and the scenery was lovely. The outdoor cafes and charming language were the backdrop for our exploration.
Smile Friday!
Heather and I got to take a quick trip to Vegas last weekend and it was fantastic. There was enough food and booze and laughter to last a lot longer than 48 hours. Plans are under way for our next girl’s weekend and I’m already excited.
In the words of Ja Rule, “You’re not just my friend you’re my homie!”
All the crap you read in magazines about honesty, sense of humor, communication, sensitivity, date nights, couples weekends, blah blah blah can be trumped by one word: loyalty. You and your spouse are a team of two. It is you against the world. No one else is allowed on the team, and no one else will ever understand the team’s rules. This is okay. The team is not adversarial, the team does not tear its members down, the team does not sabotage the team’s success. Teammates work constantly to help and better their teammates. Loyalty means you put the other person in your marriage first all the time, and you let them put you first. Loyalty means subverting your whims or desires of the moment to better meet your spouse’s whims or desires, with the full understanding and expectation that they will be doing the same. This is the heart of everything, and it is a tricky balance. Sometimes it sways one way and sometimes the other. Sometimes he gets to be crazy, sometimes it’s your turn. Sometimes she’s in the spotlight, sometimes you. Ups and downs ultimately don’t matter, because the team endures.
Patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you’re waiting.Joyce Meyer (via markmejia)(via itsnotthatserious)
