happy 4th of july!

like chase's cute post below says,
we first fell in love ♥ on this holiday

a few years ago celebrating it in DC

together...so it is one of our favorites.
we loved celebrating this year in california!
it was such a great day:

it started with a fun hike up to the famous
H O L L Y W O O D sign...

{view from behind the sign}

got some patriotic froyo..

walked around hollywood celebrating the 4th...

then for dinner,

what is more american than finding our
favorite mexican restaurant from home?
so happy cafe rio is in LA!

 

yum...

we ended the night up on the bluff

watching fireworks throughout the

whole city & up the coast 

happy 4th!

the best holiday (post by husband)

a couple years ago today, i got on a plane to go visit a dc

intern who i had a major crush on. i knew she liked

me too, but she was playing hard to get (hence the 

2,000 mile flight just to see her). but i couldn't 

be more sure that it was the best decision i've ever 

made, because that crush turned into the love of my

life and i knew i had to marry her. now it's our third

4th of july together, and it just keeps getting better. 

here's some pics from that amazing holiday weekend when 

i fell for the future mrs. rigby:

loved you then & love you even more now.

happy fourth em!

pictures from this past weekend on balboa island.

one month!

dear marriage: 
i can't believe you've been with us for one whole month now. nothing is better. i already love being a wife. i love having a husband and partner and best friend. i love going on morning runs together to the beach. i love being together just the two of us in our new city. i love our tennis matches. i love our date nights. i love our search for the best pad thai in town. i love sampling every frozen yogurt flavor before picking one. i love your singing in the shower. i love doing everything together. i love our love. and i love that it's permanent.

one month of this marriage adventure down.
one month of waking up next to my best friend.
one month of being mr. & mrs.
one month of starting our life & moving away together.

in just our first month of marriage we have:

• honeymooned in jamaica
• been to chicago
• packed up and moved to california
• started TFA training in los angeles

i can't wait for all of the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years ahead together. 

i love that our wedding was on the first of june, so that each time we refresh and start a new month it's a reminder of our love and it's one more month together!

i love you chase t!

*a few pictures from the best day of our life...

we can't wait to get all of them back soon!

he is too good to me...new shoes, new shirt, & new wallet.
