Who’s Your Daddy

{this musical headline makes me giggle a bit} :)

Ok.. on to the Father’s day post! Sunday of course, was Father’s day, and Matt and I got to spend it with both of our wonderful fathers. After the long wedding weekend, Matt and I loved being able to sleep in that morning. Matt had also been at Clay and Mikki’s, house-sitting for the previous two days, so it was also nice to have the hubby back at home. Around 11ish, we headed to WalMart to pick up items for lunch. On the menu, hamburgers and homemade ice cream!! After our pit stop, we made our way to Cody and Mel’s, to begin preparing lunch and relaxing in the Sun.

After spending half the day, enjoying time with the Ferguson side, it was time for Matt and I to head to Tyler. We arrived around 4ish, ate a great dinner of brisket, macaroni & cheese, and corn on the cob, made by MeeMaw, and headed out to the lake. We spent the rest of the evening floating and riding on the boat.

IMG_2106(If you look real close, you can see Mattie & PawPaw in the background of this pic..so technically I did get a father’s day pic!)

Matt and I are both so thankful for the wonderful, loving, role models we have for fathers. I know we would be no where without the love and support they’ve both given us throughout the years. We love you both very much, and appreciate everything yall do for us…

Happy Father’s Day!!

Until Next Time!

PS: Perhaps in a year or two, we’ll be celebrating a Father’s day of our own.. we got baby fever!! Shhhhh!! ;)

Well, it’s official.. Mr. & Mrs. Young are chillin’ out in Jamaica as we speak! What a wonderful fun-filled wedding weekend, we had. It all started on Friday night, around 5:30 for the Rehearsal. The venue was at a private residence (no names, for blog purposes!) and it was beauuuutiful, but ooooh so HOT! Did I mention it was  H-O-T??!! ;) I took soooo many pictures, so I’ll post this blog, like I have with many others..through pics!

After the rehearsal and dinner, no one was really ready to call it a night, so we all decided to head to McCann Street to keep the party going.

After a long crazy fun night, Matt and I headed home to rest up for wedding day! The next morning, all the guys went and played golf while I ran a couple of errands and waited on Matt to get home. The guys had to be there at 4:30, so I decided to brave the heat, and ride with him..
