It&#8217;s February 1st, the sun is gloriously shining outside, and I am GIDDY with excitement because spring is around the corner!  I can feel it in my bones!  February is one of my favorite months because of LOVE.  I get that it&#8217;s mostly a made up Hallmark holiday.  Really, I do.  But I love it anyway.  Anything that draws attention to love has to be a pretty great thing, right?  Married love, family love, baby love, friend love&#8230;it&#8217;s all just the best.  So today, because I am high on February love vibes, I will blog one of my favorite, super duper in love couples in what I consider to be the most romantic city in the world, Charleston, SC.  It really doesn&#8217;t get much better than this, y&#8217;all!  Collin and I had the best time wandering around downtown Charleston with Cara and Christopher.  It was a beautiful day, but even better than the weather was the conversation.  Collin and I so enjoyed getting to know Cara and Christopher, and we can&#8217;t wait for their wedding which is coming up so soon!  Guys, we are thrilled for y&#8217;all!  Can&#8217;t wait for the big day! #letsgetmurrayed<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and before we go any farther let&#8217;s just stop and take note of the fact that Cara walked all over the ancient, cracked, cobblestone streets of Charleston in those amazing shoes and she didn&#8217;t stumble once.  I would have been flat on my face more times than I could count!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41836\"
