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!

I'm Feeling 22 : it's finally ALL about Dylan

Dylan Wade Calhoun D.O.B. 7 February 1994 Dylan is my best friend. He has been since I can remember. Of course we fought and still fight when he sleeps until 3pm and eats my snacks  from time to time. But I can always count on Dylan to be there for me. Because he's that kind of friend. I've learned over the years many people are blessed with siblings but very few are given a friend- one who has been there through it all, one who has seen every great and every embarrassing stage of life AND loves you anyway. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity". Proverbs 17:17  So in honor of Dylan being alive for 22 years,  here are 22 things about Dylan you may not know  And all reasons we love him. 1. Dylan is committed. When Dylan decides he is going to do something, he does it. He worked, and continues to work, his tail off {harder than anyone else} to play college baseball-because he is committed. He has completed intense workouts {...

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 :) 

Love.

"We make loving people a lot more complicated than Jesus did".  A quote from the new book from Bob Goff called "Everybody, Always". Jesus loved everyone and continues to love everyone. He tells us to love our enemies. He tells us if we do not have love, then we have NOTHING. I've always thought, 'well, it's a good thing I don't have any enemies. I'll just skip over that message'. But maybe He didn't just mean enemies {like Harry Potter and Voldemort or Darth Vader and Luke}, maybe he also meant people who are difficult, people we just really do not like, people that have different opinions than us. I'm just going to be honest, it's hard for me to love people. I mean, I truly love my group of friends, my family, and people who are pleasant to be around- but what about the people I try to avoid, people who are just plain rude, or negative, or have thoughts and opinions that I can never understand? I have to love them too...
