Some of yall may not know this, but a few years ago (summer of 2008 to be exact) Jake and i went from dating at the pace of a snail to deciding we were going to get MARRIED. How did that happen? he said 3 little words, "i love you", and i started to really trust him for the first time!!! anyway, his nickname "jellybean" was formed by the girls in my room at the Leadership Project that summer. If you know me, you know i have a deep love of all things small, furry, and cute. I REALLY wanted Jake to call me a cute little nickname like "whisker sprinkle", "fluffy bunny", or something unique and funny. he was totally not into it. He has called me "sweet girl", "pretty girl" and "princess" since we started dating, and he's great with that. Long story short, my girls and i decided he should call me muffin, and i would call him jellybean. Muffin lasted for 2 days, but jellybean stuck. I don't really call him this to his face, but it's his name in my phone and i write it on cards for fun :)
Jake and i went on a little vacation to Charleston for 5 days in July and it was so much fun. We didn't go anywhere for our anniversary since we were in the process of moving, so we decided to go on a trip, just the 2 of us when we got back from Myrtle! One of our fav things to do is go to bed and breakfasts and look at antique stores, and that's just what we did for 2 days. The rest of our time was spent eating and at the beach! it was definitely different not having peanut with us..no responsibility for 5 whole days!!! I am so thankful for this man, who knows i need time away with just him, and for the ways that he is always surprising me with a little date here and there and a night away every few months!! 
us exploring and walking around downtown
Charleston is where we honeymooned & a favorite romantic place for us to go! SO glad y'all got to get away, what a blessing! :)
