Saturday Snapshot

It's that time of week again!  Time to link up with Kim from Yellow Songbird.  I really enjoy getting to look back on some old photos.  This week I'm posting one from the beginning of my relationship with my husband.  I can't believe it but tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary! Where did the time go??? Ooo, pick me, pick me, I know I know!  We went to Mexico for our honeymoon, then we went to Lynchburg, VA for his summer classes, then we went to a few weddings in this area, went to Pittsburgh for Christmas, back to Lynchburg after that, then to Illinois for another wedding.  We also started a youth group this year, what a blessing.  We both left Facebook.  We have had such a wonderful first year of marriage, sure there are some disagreements, but we can't stand to be upset with one another.  We always make up before we go to bed.  God is sooo good to us.  I know this may not always be the case but I'm so thankful for how much we think alike and work together.  Oh sweet husband of mine I love you!!!  Thank you for a wonderful year! 

In this picture, I stole his hat, which I did frequently.  He had "hat" for like 8 years.  Unfortunately somehow, hat disappeared last year, (no, I didn't throw out hat, I loved him as much as Aaron did). :( This was probably in our first 3 months of dating.

About an hour before the ceremony, our photographers decided to "torture" us by allowing us to be so close without being able to see each other. They backed us up against the wall so we couldn't see each other. . . I was just a hands reach away!  I loved it though because I could at least hear his voice even though I really didn't want him to see me before the I walked down the aisle!  Can't believe this was a year ago now!  Wow!

Love you Husband!!! (and don't call me Wife-band!)

This week, I'm posting a picture of my great grandma.  She passed away Monday night.  We spent most of the week in Pittsburgh because of it.  She was a great baker.  I loved her poinsettia cookies with butterscotch filling. Amazing!  Anyway I'm linking up with Kim over at Yellow Songbird.  Here is a picture of a wonderful woman.

Back Row: Younger sister Kristin, Me, Older sister Colleen

Front Row: Grandma Griffith (great grandma) and Grandma Hennessey

This picture is from Easter 2008.  Grandma G. was 93 at the time.  I will miss her very much.  She was always so precious to us.  She made me life size Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls when I was little.  She baked the best cookies.  She was always "fit as a fiddle and ready for love."  She tried being matchmaker. . . a lot.  She tried matching me up with a 35 year old married man when I was 18, silly grandma.  We loved her and will miss her.

Hello Everyone!  This weekend Aaron and I will be in Pittsburgh getting our car worked on.  As a result, we'll be spending time with my side of the family.  That means we'll be visiting many family members this weekend.  We're going to be visiting my grandparents who celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary in March.  Here's a picture of them with their grandkids.  I know it's blurry a bit, but I didn't take the picture and it's the best out of the bunch!  Thanks for stopping by.  Please make sure to go to Kim's blog to look at all the other entries for Saturday Snapshot.

So funny!  I had to pick this one this week.  Last week I posted a wedding photo.  This week I posted another! My husband wanted dinosaur cake toppers for our wedding, I said no.  We already had a cake topper that I really liked.  One day when we were at the craft store, he and his friend Brandon (our best man), were playing with some dinosaurs there.  I said, "Pick out two."  He had no idea why I was allowing him to get the dinosaurs, which was awesome.  Then as a surprise for the rehearsal dinner, I made these into the cake toppers.  He's the groom of course, and I'm the bride.  I think my favorite part is the top hat on the groom.  Love it! They still reside in our home, on our end table by the door.  They are very special to us. 

Hope you enjoyed looking at these.  Please feel free to link up with Kim over at Yellow Songbird.  Look over the rules first, then view the other entries. :)

Kim at Yellow Songbird does a link party on Saturdays called Saturday Snapshot.  This week she posted a photo from her wedding.  I'd been thinking about what I would use this week and also thought I'd post a wedding photo. I LOVED our wedding photos.  Our photographers Kat and Jake Ritenour of Kat Ritenour photography are AMAZING!!!  Just love them :).

Here is one of my favorites of the wedding photos.
