Sister Style: Independence Day

Check out my amazing sister.  She was wearing a sweet vintage dress that pretty much required us to take some shots together. 

My not so original, but super patriotic nails.  Yes, I'm still married, just can't wear the ring around all this sand madness.

So I must be honest and admit that I had hoped to wear a different outfit for July 4th, but due to my overall irresponsibility with the sunscreen, I found myself quite uncomfortable in just about every 4th of July outfit I brought. Yes, I brought more than one outfit for the 4th and yes, that's right, the already dark complected Ani decided not to put sunscreen on and is now paying for it in sunburn.  But don't worry, red, white and blue is a color combination that I thoroughly enjoy and I'll make up for the lack of cuteness once this burn chills out. Literally.  Also, don't worry, my sister made sure to let me know with the look on her face when I told her I didn't wear sunscreen, how truly irresponsible I was.

I did wear this getup to the beach everyday to be patriotic throughout the whole week.

Anyhow, it was a great final day at the beach. We got to watch fireworks from our balcony and sing patriotic songs at the top of our lungs.  We grilled hamburgers, chicken sausages, and corn.  My sister made homemade guacamole and carrot cake balls.  Then we went for a quick walk on the beach with the full moon lighting our path. Of course, now we're watching Independence Day because what is the 4th without some Will Smith and Bill Pullman saving the world from an alien race?

Today- we celebrate- our INDEPENDENCE DAY! 

It's been a sweet vacation.  Tomorrow, I'll be posting some pictures from our boat tour.  Get psyched man, Get psyched man!

Sister, Sister!

Ok friends, get ready for a ridiculous amount of pictures courtesy of Chase. My sister came out to meet us in Cibilo and we took a bunch of absolutely wonderful, fun pictures on a sister's photo shoot. We had a blast. So enjoy!

This might be my favorite picture from the whole shoot.

I feel incredibly overwhelmed and blessed to have married into such an incredible family. These pictures are just a product of how much love is shared between all of us sisters, but it was seriously a blast. I can't reiterate how incredible life is right now.

Changes are coming soon, but for now, I'm going to continue to enjoy the moment with all the fullness that each moment holds.

Love,

A Wonderful Life, Indeed.

Here are my beautiful sisters, including Chase, who took these amazing pictures.

And this picture pretty much sums up how amazing my Christmas was.

We got to spend time with Austin's family and my own in San Antonio and it was a blast. I love both families so very much and am so thankful that we're all in the same city this year. Life is truly good and I have no complaints.

We're about to go take more photos with my sister so get ready for it!

Love,

Ani "Zuzu" B.
