happy 24th birthday aust!

yesterday was austin's 24th birthday! i just wanted to wish him the happiest birthday and let him know how much i love him and how grateful i am for him. he is the sweetest person in this world and i feel so lucky to be married to him! love you baby :)

we went home this weekend and had a blast partying with our families for aust's bday! on saturday we went shooting in erda with austin's fam and found the best place to go! it had rained earlier that day and the sky looked beautiful! also it was perfect weather. i got aust a new gun for his bday and he was TOO excited to shoot it so we had to go. jen and i both tried it once and screamed after we shot it cause it was SO powerful but it was fun haha. then after that we went to panda express (aust's 2nd fav, olive garden tops everything and anything in his mind) for dinner! then we watched now you see me, which was very entertaining! i would def recommend it and watch it again! we had such a fun time with his fam, i love them so much!



he was a lil too excited about that new gun

then sunday we had dinner with my fam and my momma and i made fettuccine alfredo pasta and raspberry cheesecake for aust. haley made him olive garden salad and sam made italian sodas and he was in HEAVEN! he said it was better than olive garden, WHAT? actually doesn't surprise me because our family has the best cooks and when it's someones birthday, we go all out :) then we sang to him and had to head back home... we are counting down the days till we can live in erda and drive home from our families in 30 seconds! but we did have a great weekend and are so blessed to have such amazing families!




o and nick and haley are so nice to let us stay at their house when we come! we love to play with jude whenever we get a second, here are some CUTE pics! we love that lil man along with all of our nieces and nephews. they made austin birthday cards and those were his favorite gifts.





i need to be better at pictures ha promise i will work on it! thanks for reading :)
