Our Story...

Mr. & Mrs. Buck est. 4 October 2014
This is our story.... 


Our story begins near a lake. Our families competitively water skied together - so naturally we were put together to play. 



We conquered many a foe together while taking shelter in the infamous Simba Tent. We also saved lives in my barbie jeep {not pictured because it was short lived}. Andy & his brother, Billy, destroyed it. 


Note Dylan, my brother, sporting those classy shorts. 


As we grew older we attended more sophisticated affairs...

Prom 2008



Then there are these... 



As expected, we are once again near a lake. 



We went our separate ways during the early college years {and learned many life lessons}. 
I moved to UAB in order to attend OT school. One year later Andy moved to UAB to pursue his dental school dream. 
Alas, we were reunited once more. 



Dating Andy was a blast. 
We had the best times and some of the more frightening times I had yet experienced. 


He learned to ride horses with me...


And I learned to ride bikes with him. 
And was completely terrified the entire time. 



February 2014 Andy asked me to be his wife. We were on a bridge in the snow. It was a wonderful time. That night and that picture is only in our minds, we have no pictures of the event but we will never forget it. 

We had some engagement shots...


{there's the lake again}


And this happened... 
Yes, we were shocked we actually got up. 


It was extremely cold and our poor bodies did get submerged in the water before it was over. 
Of course there were some interesting shots of the drop. 


OH, did I mention we drove to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to get a puppy? 



We shall call her Raja Rose. 
And I have to give a shout out to Macie {my cousin, best friend, and room mate at the time} for having to live with Raja and me in the beginning. It was a rough few months and she graciously lived with the accidents, crate training cries, and midnight potty breaks. Thanks, Mae. 



Oh, and of course she had to be acclimated to the lake. 





October 4, 2014 FINALLY arrived! 




And we said yes!


We honeymooned in St. Lucia and went diving. 
Exploring the ocean with Andy was an adventure I will always remember. 


We speared lion fish and had the cook at the resort prepare it for dinner, pretty cool. I didn't realize my finger was on the camera lens... so most of our pictures are a light tan blob. 



So this is us! 
We love the outdoors, we're almost always up to learning something new, and we obviously love the lake. 

Raja grew up to be a pretty cool pup. 


She decided to like the water {Andy was pumped}. 


That's Dylan and Ace on the left, we hang out with them some. 



And last but NOT least...
We are moving to Arizona. 
We are not near a lake. 

We are excited about our new adventures out west. 


Thanks for reading!

Let The Summer Begin (almost)

We decided we needed to get out of the valley for a few days {with summer quickly approaching and tempts reaching the 90's}, so we packed up and went to Payson for the weekend. I highly recommend going to see the Natural Bridge, pictures do not do it justice.  And I'm pretty dang impressed with Andy for hiking all day with this baby pack. It is seriously not as easy as it looks. I've got to start training...  Raja clearly had the time of her life. {per usual} We are so excited that little man is big enough to ride in the baby pack! And I'm excited Andy is able to haul the baby pack.  Raja is just excited about dirt and water {mud}.  Happy Monday, everyone. Thanks for reading :) 

Arizona Baby Shower, Easter and Family

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful Easter weekend. Our Easter was pretty busy but it was so special in so many ways. First of all my sweet Arizona mother, Catherine (who has taken me in as her own), hosted a baby shower for Baby Buck. He was shown great love from friends we've made out here in the desert. I cannot wait for him to meet all the loving people awaiting his arrival (only 15 more weeks to wait, by the way!). On that note he has some pretty amazing family that are anxiously awaiting to meet him, as well- my mother, Andy's mother, my grandparents (Mammy and Grandaddy) and my cousin all made the long journey out for the shower and for Easter. We are so thankful they were able to come!  We all had so much fun at the shower!  The nursery theme is woodland creatures.  Catherine and Gary We played some pretty entertaining games, which I will spare you the pictures from. Also, we al...

Christmas Out West

"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."  1 John 5:11-12  We thoroughly enjoyed each other over Christmas time.  Raja enjoyed opening her and almost everyone else's presents.  The desert heat will burn her paws in the summer so...  boots for Christmas. She's thrilled.  Shrimp and grits for Christmas dinner.  Raja sporting a buff...  {I hate the humans and their things-Raja}  One of the best ways for me to experience the presence of God is through His creation.  "You are beautiful beyond description  Too marvelous for words Too wonderful of comprehension  Like nothing ever seen or heard Who can grasp your infinite wisdom Who can fathom the depth of your love You are beautiful beyond description Majesty enthroned above I sta...
