A BIG Year for the Ruffs

My husband has a brother and sister. I love them both so much! They have the same place in my heart as my brother. 2016 is a BIG year for all three Ruff siblings!

Today is my brother-in-laws wedding day! He has been dating his fiancée for almost 7 years and today she will become his wife!

In August, my husband and I are expecting our first baby. 

In October, my sister-in-law will be getting married to her fiancé. They have been together for a little more than 5 years.


My mother-in-law says we are all so competitive that we have tried to one up each other. 

With all of these events comes excitement, love, and a good dose of stress. Please keep my family in your prayers as 2016 becomes our BIGGEST year yet! 

With you, Life’s a Picnic

Saturday afternoon we celebrated Kyle’s brother, Kevin, and his soon to be bride, Erin, at a picnic themed couples shower!

Weeks ago I designed and printed these simple invites:


My mother-in-law and one of her close friends did all of the yummy snacks. 


The gift table used a picnic basket for cards and an “Established” sign for decoration. 


Here is a close up of the sign at my house before the party:

On the tables, we used plain white table clothes, a yellow placemat in the center, with live flowers on top. 

My sweet sister-in-law wrote our entryway chalk board sign.


It was a great day celebrating with family and friends!
