First Beach Memories

The one place Stevie and I have always escaped to is the coast. Annually celebrating the calendar’s official start of summer as well as our June 24th wedding anniversary we have always taken this very important excursion. These three babies haven’t changed our feelings of the sand and surf. The last baby did however change our travel dates as she was born on the first day of summer.

I am taking a trip down memory lane to Jackson’s, Abigail’s, first beach memories before posting Isabela’s new experiences.

Jackson loved walking across the flat sand! Hard to believe his sister Abigail will join him in a few months, June 2008

Isabela’s First Grape Harvest

The best place to be on a hot summer harvest day is relaxing in a stroller!

At nine weeks old, this is Isabela’s first harvest. She enjoyed the fast pace of us picking.

Twenty years total from the time we began dating at age fifteen.
By the time the third baby Isabela was born we have been together over twenty five years. Great history, better memories of a fulfilled life!

US! Stevie and Julie

High School Sweethearts, we’ve been together since we were fifteen. We dated for nine years before we married on June 24, 2005. Eloping, we only brought our cousins Amy and Amanda to witness this great event!
Looking back we recognized we had played together in our very early years. We on a few occasions were both at a beauty shop with my mamaw and his baby sitter at the same time.

Neat feeling when we recognized this many, many years later.

We could never tire of the sand, the coast, or this sunset! Great memories before babies.

I’ve always felt blessed to have my best friend in the world by my side. We have so many great memories. We are lucky to still be IN love after all of these years.
