Today marks exactly 6 years since the day Zach and I said "I do" and I can't believe how quickly time has flown! It's been a fast and fun ride so far, full of adventures and laughter. If there's one thing Zach knows how to do, it's make me laugh. It was so hard for us to be serious in some of these pictures because he's always saying the funniest things and I can never keep a straight face. His ability to make me laugh is only one of the many things I love about my husband- I call him "Zach of all trades" because the man can pretty much do anything. There's no wooden creation he can't make and no animal he can't tame; In our family, he's known as the woodworker and animal whisperer. You can also file him under "most likely to sunburn" and Wanna-Be Gold Miner, as he has big dreams of striking it rich in Alaska one day. No matter the title, there are two that he pours his heart and soul into: Daddy and Husband. And I'm one lucky girl. Our anniversary is a very special date to us as for more than one reason as June 25th also happens to be my grandparents' wedding anniversary. 3 months before our wedding, my grandfather passed away. We want to always honor Mamaw & Papaw Clayton and the truly inspiring love they shared for almost 60 years. 

When it comes to anniversary gifts, we believe in splurging on one another for the occasion. We view anniversaries as the time to show our love and appreciation to one another through a truly special present. As soon as we read the history behind Shannon Fine Jewelry, we knew we wanted to support the family-owned local business (read more here). When I stepped into the store for the first time, I thought I'd died and gone to diamond heaven. So many gorgeous, sparkly pieces! From Michele watches to the stunning Jude Frances earrings I'm wearing above, Shannon Fine Jewelry has the most incredible selection of fine jewelry you'll find anywhere. And it's not just for the ladies! I love Zach's watch pictured here, which also came from Shannon's. The jewelry store, with two Houston locations, specializes in everything from watch battery replacement to crafting intricate custom designs incorporating the finest diamonds and gemstones. Between the unbeatable prices (they just held a Diamond Jubilee last week where almost all engagement rings were 40% off!), personable and friendly staff, and vast selection of jewels, Shannon Fine Jewelry is our one stop shop for investment pieces. As much as I love my giant tassel earrings, it's important for me to pass on fine jewelry pieces to our kids and grandkids someday. And thanks to Shannon's, we can do just that.

Shannon's is also kindly offering Hello Honey readers 10% off these beautiful earrings with code: HELLOHONEY at checkout! Shop them HERE. 

While we may splurge on gifts, we took it the other direction in the meal department this year. Whataburger for anniversary lunch, Taco Bell for anniversary dinner. Nothing says "I love you" quite like a Cheesy Gordita Crunch and side of Cinnamon Twists.
Hope you've all had a fabulous weekend!
