Annual Christmas Santa photo 2015!
It is Tuesday, December 15, 2015... Today, Shawn and I are married four months.
There have been a lot of beautiful updates in our lives that we are super excited to share!
Since we've come home from our honeymoon in November, we are now in December! In fact, we are one Friday away from our very first Christmas as Mr. + Mrs. Caple!
Then I chopped off most of my hair and gave myself a new style. It had been a rough week and I needed something new and exciting! This was the Friday before our amazing Wedding Viewing party!
On November 22nd we had the most amazing Wedding Photography Viewing party with the help of our incredible photographer and friend, Brandi of Alexis June Weddings! She printed out GORGEOUS photos and created a sweet photo film of our wedding photos before going through the incredible images.
Setting the scene!
Having such wonderful friends and family join us that day really showed us the people who loved us and were willing to be there for us on such a special day and relive our day with us, for some for the first time. It was epic.

Brandi's photos were absolutely incredible and I am so glad that she was by my side that day. There is no one else I would rather have had there beside us. Brandi is the best.
Only a few days later we had Thanksgiving, and our incredible friends and cinematographers, Glen + Violet of Cord 3 Films made our own wedding film LIVE for us to share with everyone!
I asked to wait, as I really wanted to watch it with my family for the first time... it was truly a remarkable and blessed experience.
The film... oh my gosh... the film is... there are no words to describe its beautiful perfection. I can only share with you its epic nature and let you see for yourself. Truly a gift and a blessing having such talented and amazing people like Glen + Violet beside us, capturing the most amazing day of our lives.
Our first Christmas Tree as Mr + Mrs Caple
Now we are in December finishing and crafting our own films for our own amazing couples for Sweet Start and while challenging... each one of these films brings us back to those magical days sharing those moments with them... and then we think back on to our own day... and life is just happy and perfect and amazing.
Beautiful even before the decor Oh Christmas Tree 2015!
The most perfect Christmas Tree... and Christmas Tree Quilt the momma made!
Sadly not everything in this post is good news.
Two Tuesdays ago, December 1st, the very same day I bought my new little 2015 Hyundai Tucson... a 19 year old girl went through a stop sign and hit the Tucson... our little Sweet Mobile.
No one was hurt, but the Tucson won't be patched up until maybe an estimated Christmas Eve date.
The girl also had no insurance for property and only for any bodily harm done to herself and herself alone.
Her insurance was so new, in fact, that her insurance was not even approved yet and did not go through until a week after the accident.
The police dropped me off at work and I worked the rest of the day until my amazing husband picked me up and brought me home.
This past Friday I said goodbye to Paterson (as I still do not have a car to go there) and I start my new job this week.
Saturday my family took Shawn and I out into the city to enjoy some holiday festivities! It was an amazing way to really get into the Holiday spirit and spend time together.
Sunday I went out with my girls that did my bridal shower and bachelorette party and had the most amazing brunch and fun time at the mall. I am so blessed to have such beautiful girls in my life!

And now I am mentally preparing for my first day at my new job only a 20 minute drive from where I am sitting right now...
I've never been happier or more excited about a new job in my life. I cannot wait to go in and meet everyone!
Anyway, Christmas is practically here! I have a few more gifts to wrap, and actually a few more gifts to buy... I'm still stuck on what I should get my husband for Christmas... his birthday gift to Hawai'i is going to be really tough to top!
If I'm not back by Christmas: Merry Christmas! I'm off to go get a manicure with my momma!
Love,
Mrs. Caple
