One Year ago Today...........

I Married my BEST Friend and Lover


I was so excited I smiled so BIG my cheeks were sore for days afterward.




It was a BEAUTIFUL and special day for us.



I was so HAPPY to have my parents with us on our SPECIAL day! They looked so cute! We LOVE them.



So MANY good friends and our Boca Ward Family as well braved the heat and joined us.



It has been an exciting year full of many adventures and most important of all LOVE.

We look forward to seeing where this next year takes us. I THANK Heavenly Father EVERYDAY for the blessing that is Cory. He is the light in my life and makes everyday a beautiful HAPPY one! He puts up with all of my insaneness and he is always there to listen and help when I have a problem.

I am so proud to be Mrs. Brielle Yvonne Griffin.

First California Fog & New Front Plate........

We have not been back in California to have a winter for over 3 years.

This is such a beautiful sight to see...

It was so wonderful to wake up one morning and see our favorite Winter time joy... FOG!!!!



Next little thing is silly but special to me.




The FIRST thing I did once we bought this car was go straight down to a local auto shop and purchase a personal decorative front plate. I LOVE the PATRIOTS football team. I thought it added Character to my adorable new car! Well that plate has had a PRIME spot on the front of our car for over a year and I thought that it could use a rest.



I got this plate when I was in New York 7 years ago. It was to remind me of how positively FABULOUS Broadway plays are. I love the colors and I love how cute it looks on the front of the car!

The Patriots plate saw Florida and all the way across to California. Lets see what adventures come to this plate.......
