A Stroll Down Jacey Lane

We didn't print any holiday cards.... soooo this blog post will be our version of a Christmas card to all of yall! Our little Harding fam is doing great!  The biggest event was that we got married in August! {as most of you know} And it was the most beautiful & special day! We beached it up in August & September at Kiawah Island, SC and Panama Beach, FL. I have been working while James went full time in school. He survived his first semester with a pretty good GPA and only a few patches of hair missing due to that dang history class 😜 James also started a job at GNC! My photography business has been keeping me super busy, but I am way anxious to finish school. We adopted our little bff Teddy, who is crazy and an angel dog all in one furry body. His hobbies include playing fetch 24/7, stealing James's side of the bed, and chasing squirrels.  Seriously he's the best dog ever though, never leaves our side, and we love him to pieces.

Sometimes I sit and laugh at Mine & James's Story... it is just the wildest thing to me.

Many people have not yet heard the story about how James popped the big question.... So... here it goes.  How James pulled off the world's biggest surprise: Last Sunday evening, James said that we should do something fun the next day before he had to work. It had been awhile since we had been able to go on a nice date together.... He also asked me if I wanted to go Ring Shopping as a part of our date too.  I looooved that idea. We had never gone looking at rings together before, so I was over the moon about the idea! So.... Monday comes and we head out to go to lunch at Red Fuego {a favorite of ours} After lunch we went to 4 or 5 different ring stores around town and it was a blast. Our future was becoming even more real as we experienced choosing rings that we liked together.  After ring shopping, we had some time before James had to go to work. It was a nice day out, so we decided to go for a walk in downtown Provo and around the Provo City Center Temple {s
