El First-o Post-o

Hello all! And welcome to my little corner of the blog world. Let me introduce myself.

My name is Justine, and I have been married to my super wonderful hubby Jacob for just about a year and a half. We had a beautiful, classic black-and-white wedding complete with a lakeside ceremony and tented reception in June of 2011.

Proof:
Aisle decor
 "God's Knot" Ceremony-- look for another post on this ;)
 A family of ducks during our vows... foreshadowing?
 We are Mr. and Mrs!!!

Then just 3 months later we found out we were due to welcome our first little baby 2 days before our 11 month anniversary! Yea, yea... say what you will (and do the math!) lol but she was not a honeymoon baby. Close though ;) So at 1:26 am on May 25, 2012, an hour and twenty-six minutes after her due date, our beautiful daughter Charleigh (pronounced Charlie) Christine or CC was born. Now I have my dream job of staying home and raising my child and managing the household.

We've had an amazing 17 months of marriage and 6 months as parents so far, dealing with a {welcome!} surprise pregnancy, work woes, pregnancy, transitioning to a one-income family, a drug-free childbirth, cloth diapers, breastfeeding, travelling with a baby, I could go on and on. I'm here to share it all with you (cause let's face it, I need to talk to some grown ups!).
