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!

Okay time, let's cool the jets.

For the first time in my life I wish time would slow down. I've always longed for the next step. In high school I wanted college --> college I wanted to know what to do with my life --> graduate school I wanted to be married --> married wanted to settle in and know where we would live --> and now... I want it to slow down. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to go back... no, never take me back {please}. I can't believe I'll be 25 in less than a month AND in October Andy and I will be married 2 years.  All I'm saying is how in the world did that happen? I'm so excited for the future and what God has in store for our lives, but do you ever wish you could freeze time for a little while? Just soak it all in a little bit longer... I do. So I have decided I am going to enjoy every adventure Andy and I are blessed with. Every run that I just want to cry on because I am dying, every mountain bike trip that I secretly want to hit Andy on because he is s...

A desert summer.

We moved into a new house this week!!! My family came out to help us move and of course we had to make some time for play.  We made the tough treck to Fossil Creek!  It was worth it.   I jumped off the little one. It was scary. I don't think I'll do it again.  On the last day we went to Apache Lake.  I forgot my camera so we don't have many documents of this trip, but it was very relaxing.  We are so thankful for their help. And for play time. And for our new house!! 

Why The Wait?

Wait : stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens.  "Wait" is not a a word I like to hear. It makes me angry.  It's not in our human nature, waiting. Especially in our society where we are accustomed to getting everything immediately. So why the wait? Why does God force us to wait? Andy and I have been hit with the waiting game pretty hard lately. This is what I have learned... Trust God. Waiting has a way of forcing me to trust His plan. We know He has gone before us. However, He only allows us to see one step directly in front of us at a time. Each time we take a step, He provides us with the next step. I have wrestled with this, desperately wanting to know where we will be next year, and the next; never being content with knowing where we are today. Today, right now, we are fine. God has made sure of that- why can't that be enough? What I have learned: it is enough. Today is enough. And we trust ...
