amy @ bitchin' wives club
Holy crap….. where do you live??? I need to make a note to never move there because the spiders in your neck of the woods are fooking terrifying.
Aside from that, love your pictures, especially the one of you.

@amy @ bitchin’ wives club, Hahaha! Well, I live in Nashville, TN… but I took that photo in Eastern NC, where my parents live. The creepies are really all over the place. If you start looking, you’ll never stop seeing them.

Great pics, sweetheart! You’re so good.
Two observations…
1. Pool hair is INDEED hot!
2. Who is this big boy, and what happened to Braden?
Love you, babe.
