The post from yesterday. You know, my anniversary post, just a day late.

My post from yesterday experience technical difficulties. So, you're getting the original anniversary post a day late. A day late doesn't take away how much I love Mr. Potts. So some of our favorites. I promise in the next few days to recap some of the past year. But I won't go too overboard.

Mr. Potts began the day by making his Meme laugh. I try to keep that tradition alive with her.

My family arrived. I was so so excited to see them! My handsome brother.

At the alter, side by side. We were ready. The pastor begins to speak & Mr. Potts immediately says "I do!" The pastor laughed & joked that his job was done. :) The whole congregation laughed. Mr. Potts and I giggled.

We were so excited to get married, we could quit laughing & hugging & kissing.

I was so ready to see my mom. She didn't surprise me. She looked beautiful & somehow managed to hold it together. My momma was so happy for me.

One of our favorite images from the day. Love how she caught these.

A few pictures in the beautiful leaves - we couldn't pass them up.

On our trolley for a trolley ride around town before being delivered to our reception site.

It makes him smile to see pictures where I am so obviously in love with him.
We were able to take some pictures at a place we've always enjoyed - notice all the Charlotte signs! The pictures turned out well. What do you think?

One of our Faves! LOVE IT!!
We have so many wonderful pictures that these are only the tip of the iceberg. We had such a wonderful time the cake time was fun. He wasn't sure if he'd get just a swipe on his nose. He didn't.

Oh I DO LOVE ME SOME BUBBLES!!!

My brother. I'm so glad he was able to share this with me as well as with Mr. Potts, My Mom & my sweet niece & nephew.

Two of our very best friends who live in NOLA came to celebrate with us - they told us they wouldn't miss it for the world.

My sweet sweet niece had such a fun time & watned to dance with Uncle Mr. Potts more, but alas, it was time to go home. I got my last hug.

The last hug led to tears. My poor sweet muchkin.

Happy Anniversary Mr. Potts! You've been beside me the whole way. Holding my hands, giving me a gentle push when I've needed it, reminding me of what I find important.

Laughing with me
Holding me when I've cried
Holding you when you've cried

I promise
I promise you me
I wouldn't want to know a life without you

I promise to be the girl in your guy nights if you need one.
I promise to plan fun trips for big & little reasons.
I promise to make sure you always know how much you are loved.

I promise to cook & baby you when you're sick.
I promise to help you stretch your hamstrings.
I promise to pick good books out for you.

I Adore You
I find you incredibly strong
I find you extremely compassionate
I adore you
I love you.

For You Mr. Potts.

A year ago today we were almost married!

Some of my favorite pictures of the munchkins from the wedding day.

Check out the expression of pure joy on my precious niece's face as she drops her petals.

My sweet nephew after the wedding. My mom gave him her cell phone to keep him occupied. Smooches!

We didn't actually get the first bite of cake, my precious niece did!

She wanted to dance. She ran & jumped into my arms (well, really just onto me) causing us both to tumble to the floor. She was so happy that day. Can you see it in her face?

Aren't children so precious?

Fabulous Friday!

Happy Friday Everyone! It's here - another edition of Fabulous Friday! A highlight of all things fabulous that I've stumbled across over the course of this week (in no particular order, of course!) or even fond memories I have stored in my brain.

In a little over a week, Mr. Potts & I will celebrate one year of marriage. What a whirlwind year we've had.

I wanted to share two of my favorite pictures from our wedding. This first one is so me. I am so easily excited & love the little things. The happiness just burst out of me this day. You can see my niece in the background - we had just had our first kiss & she was giggling over it.
My love. I was just so excited & couldn't quit smooching him.
You'll probably have a bit more wedding ooey-gooey in the next few days leading up to our anniversary.

Back to normally scheduled programming....

I've been trying to talk Mr. Potts into a new coat for winter. He made a very valid point when I told him I needed one. He reminded me that since I've been losing weight, my older coats fit now. Boys. What can I say?

I've spotted these two coats at Nordstrom.

This coat looks similar to a shorter red wool peacoat I have. They have it in both black & winter white. I'm thinking the black would be easier for my traveling. It looks a little more lightweight than what I'm looking for. What do you think?I LOVE the asymmetrical ruffle on this Tahari coat. The fit, the color (prune), the model's makeup...wait, that doesn't come with it??


I'm on the prowl for some pumps for work. I work in a more conservative office, but still love a great pair of shoes. I've found these that I'm thinking about (all shoes from Nordstrom).

What do you think? Do you love any of these? Should I keep looking?
What have been your fabulous finds this week?

Showing you my life

Kelly, from Kelly's Korner is again hosting Show Us Your Life - Wedding Party & Flowers/Ceremony. I really loved my flowers and the bridesmaid dresses, as well as the tuxes the guys wore, so I have to participate this time too!

Mr. Potts and I were married November 8, 2008. It was such a wonderful day because we were surrounded by friends and family. I loved my flowers - I adore fall & all the colors associated with it. I love the nip in the air and the way cheeks get rosy after a bit of time spent outside.

My bouquetArtsy picture of my bouquet with our ringsMy Maid of Honor and me - don't you love the colors of the dress and how the bouquets just popped? Yes - she towers over me. :) She's my best friend in the whole world!


All of my beautiful ladies and their bouquets. Somehow at the end of the night both Mr. Potts' niece and my niece ended up with a bouquet.
The flower girls and me. They both wore an ivory dress with a chocolate sash.
One of our favorite pictures. We have a print of the sign in the background. We're going to frame this picture and hang it below that one.
Mr. Potts and his Best Man - the vests & ties of the groomsmen were a deep chocolate with cocoa stripes. The vest was deep chocolate. They looked so handsome!

A good shot of my hair clip. I loved it! Could you tell my niece didn't want to leave? She was having too much fun dancing!
I hope you've enjoyed my trip down wedding memory lane!
