Four years of bliss...

Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary...and although the title of this post humorously says 'four years of bliss', its not far off.  In other words, I would not have it any other way, and what could be more blissful than that?  For any of you who are married, you know its not always a walk in the park.  Our marriage is no exception.  There have been so many ups and downs, trials and tribulations and what not.  But honestly all of those struggles we have endured have made us closer and stronger than we ever could have been without them.  I think finding the beauty in these lessons as you go along, and still loving each other through it all, is what really matters.  

Yesterday James walked in the door from work with these beautiful flowers in hand.  I always think its cute the flowers he picks.  He thinks really hard about what I would like.  He always picks flowers I never would have picked myself, but I always love them.  He knew I would love the deep plum color of these, and he was right!  I put them in the big vase we had as our centerpiece on our wedding table.  I only break out this vase on special occasions. 
 Last year on our anniversary I did 4 blog posts about the story of us.  You can view them here, here, here and here.

This morning we are just kind of lounging around... I made this pretty treasury a bit ago, wishing we were close enough to the beach to go enjoy a stroll.  I think we are going out to eat somewhere tonite, and I just might wear my new blue velvet dress.  

PEACE,
Laura

Thank You + Blog Makeover + Giveaway >>>

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the wonderful feedback I received on my latest lookbook for Roots and Feathers.  I had so much fun creating it, and look forward to making many more in the future.  (I also have one coming up that Im doing for another company that Im excited about).  This look below was the majority favorite, thank you!  Ive had several people ask where I got the dress in this photo... its actually a halter top and open in the back, and Ive had it since I was about 15.  I think the only time I actually wore it out somewhere was to a Tori Amos concert!  And these amazing shoes are Michael Kors that I found at Ross for cheap!  I was stoked!


You may have noticed that the whole look of the blog has changed over the past day or so.  I spent most of yesterday working on the revamp.  Ive been wanting to make a more cohesive blend between my two shops, Roots & Feathers and Violet Bella, and I think I finally have done just that.  Its been a long process of blog changes to finally get there.  Im still working out some kinks, some of the link under the 'link' section are currently not working, but Ill get there... 

and today you can...
go to her post here to see the details. 


Tomorrow is me and my boy's 4 year wedding anniversary!  Its pretty amazing how fast it has gone by.  So much has happened in our lives in a mere 4 years, talk about change.  We will be celebrating it next weekend when we go see Rocky Votolato at Stubb's.  I think seeing him when he comes there may become a tradition... Its the perfect place to see a show like that.  I have a feeling this next week is going to fly by!

PEACE,
Laura
