On August 5, we found out we were expecting twins!
Sadly, a month later we found out that I had miscarried both twins at 10 weeks. I kept a detailed blog each week of my pregnancy, including our feelings about the miscarriage. You can read that blog "Twins and Grins" for a detailed journey.

I love Miranda Lambert. So I convinced Mr. B to take me, in March, to Oklahoma to check out her store.
In June, we vacationed in Del Rio again. This time, Mr. B got to join us. I now remember why there was no pictures of him two years ago.....he didn't get to come!
July 17, 2014 we celebrated our 4th anniversary in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!
Our first time out of the country since our honeymoon. It was this year that we decided that each year we would use our tax return to fund a super fun and elaborate vacation until we had children.
It was in July 2014 that Mr. B and I began our couple's painting journey. We've been doing it ever since. Our house is decorated with our works of art.
