Bring on the Boot Cuffs...

I know, I know... 

It is finally just now summer 

but I am already starting to get excited about fall!

 I try not to pick favorites but lets be honest, 

Fall is the season for the cutest accessories and that is my specialty!

Last year, I was not prepared for the amazing success

 Cherry Lane Bowtique brought on. 

I am taking those lessons I learned from last year  

and I am starting early on my my stock pile! 

No running out of buttons this year...(thanks a lot Hobby Lobby).

This also means I will have more time for special orders, 

which I absolutely love! 

There is going to be a lot more baby items too.

Since it seems like everyone is having babies,

 I have been making baby hats and blankets like crazy!!! 

[Babies make my heart happy] 

I can not wait to see what this year holds for my little shop. 

Keep your eyes open for Cherry Lane in some local shops! 

It is in the works and I can barely contain my excitement!

My first anniversary as a Cooper... Couldn't be happier

Tomorrow June 3rd is our 1st year wedding anniversary. 

I married my soul mate and my best friend that day. Even through a Hurricane, our love was what was important and we made it happen with rain or shine...but mostly rain. haha. 

The Good Lord gave us a break from Barbara for long enough to make it through our ceremony and pictures. Obviously it wasn't the typical Pinterest wedding but it was absolutely perfect for us. Everything pulled together at the last second.

 Our love conquers everything and means more than anything. 

 It has always been that way since day one. 

People say that Love at first site doesn't exist, its only for fairy tales. I beg to differ...

The day I met Matthew on 3.5.2011, I knew in that instant that I had to be near him. I had to have him. My soul felt complete with him. I trusted my gut instinct and knew that this man would be my forever. He is my gift from the Lord. Some days I don't think I deserve him (others he may not deserve me haha) but we balance each other out so perfectly. 

We have such a deep love for each other and I never thought I would ever find that.

 

He cares so much about our family, he would do anything to get us everything we could possibly want. The soul that is in that man is so deep and has so much love.  Sometimes I just wish he knew how truly special he is. He has made me the happiest wife and mother. 

He helped me (he likes to think he had a lot more to with it than he actually did...) create the most precious gift. Our Ella Grace. I am so grateful for him every single day. He is the best father to our beautiful baby girl. I mean he worships that little girl. I could not have asked for a better father for my baby. {Maybe a few more girls night...but I'm working on him haha}.  He works so hard at work to provide for his family. There are not enough words in the english language to say how proud and thankful I am. He is such a Man and he is MY MAN! 

God has such a beautiful plan for us and I can not wait to live this plan with you FOREVER. You are my Life, My Soul, My whole Heart. I have loved you Matthew Allan Cooper from the first day I met you and I will love you until forever. You are totally stuck with me.
