4 years ago, May 14 2009, Barry and I officially met. We had been eye balling each other, and maybe said a word or 2 before that, but May 14 was the day we started speaking and became a part of each others’ lives. Our “official” relationship start date didn’t come until August of 2010 because life can be complicated. But this day has always marked the start for me. From that moment in line at the karaoke bar’s bathroom to this second, Barry has been in my life/head/heart every day. I can only explain it as love at first sight. It doesn’t work like it does in the movies. But I knew the second I laid eyes on him that he was something special. Like there was a big blinking universe arrow above him saying, “I can’t make it any more obvious than this!!”
It’s easy to fall in love. It’s another thing entirely to stay in love. And what feels so amazing is that 4 years later I can smile and say “I got it right.” He really is the one. We really are meant to be together. We have both put in years of time and effort now, and have come out better than ever. A relationship takes work, and it frustrates me when people say it shouldn’t be. Of course it should be! No matter what your similarities and differences are, being in a relationship consists of 2 different souls. Effort is key in developing a long lasting relationship, and our joint effort and dedication to our relationship has created something I can’t even put into words. True happiness and true love. That’s as pure and simple as I can get.

03.17.13: Happy 30th Birthday Barry! So not only did I surprise him with his brother and friend flying in from out of state, but I used that to deter him from the fact that I planned him a big surprise party on his birthday! Everything went according to plan, and everyone involved was such a huge help! I feel like we were put on this earth to be together, so the day he was brought into this world is so special to me. Without him, I would not be me ♥
Barry’s turning 30 this weekend and I really wanted to make it special! So I got his friend Jason to come visit, and Barry hasn’t gotten to see him in a few years. His reaction was priceless. You guys have no idea how hard it is to do things for this man! This was a miracle! <3 I love him so much!
Happy Birthday Barry <3

All the fun ways you can follow Nikki! Barry is on twitter and you can follow him @V1G0 (that’s a zero, not an O). He’s also on Vine, and he’s really good at it too, so search for Barry Wilson. :)
03.01.2013. We haven’t done a photo like this in a long time, or really any photos for that matter haha. But after a particularly long day for me today, and feeling restless, I remembered that photography always makes me feel better and I’d had this idea for a while. What better way to brighten up your day than to create something that’s been living in your head with the person you love? This art of mine makes me happy :) and it thrills me to no end that the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with will share it with me through this on-going project <3

My best friend had a little holiday shindig with ugly sweaters and delicious treats. We then watched the movie Troll Hunter, which is a def favorite of ours. I wanted to get a shot of the brave few that ventured out in the winter weather to enjoy this festive evening!
Don’t forget to follow my personal tumblr! I have a lot of new things coming up soon that I’m excited about! I also got a brand new iPhone (thanks to Barry <3) so I will be religiously posting personal updates from instagram, twitter, etc. There will probably end up being more Nikki|Barry updates there than here haha! But any official pictures we take will still be posted to this blog. Thanks again for following and being patient with us! We love you guys <3
