CAPTURED: GET OUT OF TOWN

Sometimes you have really bad days. Sometimes bad days happen a lot easier when your pregnancy hormones are raging and all technology is out to get you. ;) Friday was that type of day for me. I woke up feeling bleh-sad-weird-unmotived and as the day progressed little things kept building up and making it more and more BLEH.

Jon knew my day was not-so-hot and being the loving and sweet husband that he is, he surprised me by coming home early from work with my favorite drink from Sonic at hand. He's been so attentive and sweet during this pregnancy. It's been so wonderful to have him by my side, taking such great care of me. I love him SO freaking much!! We had talked about going out of town on Saturday, but in a spur of the moment decision, and after realizing it was much needed, we decided to take a late night drive to Greenville, SC, and stay in a hotel.

We spent the majority of the day on Saturday enjoy the downtown area. We went to the Holiday Indie Craft Parade, visited a few pop up shops and ate some delicious BBQ at a local restaurant. We had such a laid-back, restful time, it was exactly what I needed. It has seriously been an emotional roller-coaster of emotions during this third trimester! I am SO completely thankful for a mini trip away and for Jon. I couldn't have made it through the weekend in one piece without him. :)  

SNAPSHOTS: HOLIDAY PHOTOS

This year will be Jon's and my third Christmas together as Mr. & Mrs. Wallace. I've wanted to take holiday photos together since the beginning, but I always ended up waiting until the last minute. It was either too close to Christmas to send out cards or too cold! Brr. Well this year we did it!! Jenny and I got our Maiedae pictures taken by Danielle at Valimont Photography in early spring, (see some of our photos here). We loved working with Danielle...she has such a beautiful heart and is very talented at capturing people. So last Sunday, we decided to have her take some couples' portraits of us and take some new Maiedae photos to update our current pictures. I love how everything turned out. I got to look through all of the pictures today and spent a lot of time "oohing" and "ahhing". :)

Here are a couple of my favorite shots from our couples' session. Jon loved being kissy and close. He makes me heart smile SO big. I love this man and I can't wait to celebrate another Thanksgiving and Christmas together.

And now to pick one for our Christmas card! --- Thank you, Danielle, for taking these pictures for us. They are so special and we loved working with you! 

Jenny and I will be sure to share a couple shots from our Maiedae photo session with Danielle soon! They were taken in one of my favorite locations of all time. :) Lots of vintage, coffee, and books involved...SO good!
