Man, it’s been a busy one. You know those days where you look up and it’s 6 pm and you seriously have no idea what you’ve been doing? I had a few of those this week. I’ve had my head down, trying to knock things off my to-do list all week, and I think it paid off because the list is dwindling. Nothing feels better than accomplishing the things you know you have to accomplish, right?

We shipped out tons of orders this week. I’m tired just thinking about it! But I’m so excited for so many little ones to receive their new cuteheads pieces. We’re working on a huge batch of orders now, so if you ordered from the Back to Basics Collection, your order is shipping SO soon, promise! We’ve got a lot of custom orders headed to new homes this week too; I wish I could be there to see the looks on your faces when you pull the tulle from the box. <3

In non-business-related news, today is our wedding anniversary. 4 years, you guys. 4. YEARS. Looking at these pictures, this doesn’t even feel like my life. I look at them and think, “did that even happen?” Remember when marriage was all about us and going to dinner and making travel plans? Because I barely do! Even though we’re busier and have more responsibility than ever4 years into marriage and almost 10 into knowing my husband, I’m more sure than ever that I made an amazing choice, and I’m so glad he chose me back. There have been so many changes for both of us (both external and internal), and change can be so hard on a marriage. But we’ve managed to get through everything an anything and still like each other, which I’m not sure a lot of people can say. On top of it, I still love the things about him that I did when we first met: he’s the hardest working person I know, he’s the most generous and will do anything for anyone, he’s hilarious, and now I know that he’s a better dad to our daughter than even I could have imagined.

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched our wedding video, but it’s still my favorite movie ever 😉 If you feel like watching the highlight reel, here it is. 31 Films filmed our wedding, and we still love this video more than ever. 90K views on Vimeo… I guess people like watching videos of other people’s weddings! Of course, 85K of them are probably mine.
