Happy December first! I absolutely love, love, love this time of year! I am sad that it tends to go by entirely too quickly because of all the rushing around that everyone has to do. I try to make it go by as s l o w as possible. Never works quite like I want it to.

The other night we put up our tree, decorations, and all the lights on the house.

The house looks very Christmasy!! Heres a picture of our tree!!

We're Back

My sweetheart and I on Thanksgiving

The boys on the way to St.Augustine

The girls


We are back from an amazing weekend in St.Augustine.
It was great to see all of Reese's family and be back in Florida.
Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Thankful

This afternoon we are leaving for St. Augustine to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Reese's family. I always look forward to this time of year with his family because it is like a family reunion. All of the family meets at Reese's Aunt Jamie's house and we spend the afternoon eating, catching up, and there are always the famous family videos playing.

It's the perfect way to spend Thanksgiving.

Of course, there is always Black Friday. This year the girls are going to get up early and head to the mall for a day of shopping. All of the guys are going to be playing golf for the afternoon. I know Reese is looking forward to playing golf. He doesn't get the opportunity to do it often.

This year I have allot to be thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and the little loves in our life, Bogey and Brusier. I'm so thankful my family is healthy. I'm thankful both of us have jobs, we have a home and plenty to eat. I'm thankful for my amazing friends.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!

I heart Halloween!!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. This year Reese and I went as Corpse Bride and Groom. I was a little nervous about the costumes at first because I was going to make them, but they turned out great. We were invited by our friends Drew and Elizabeth to Spirlween at Park Tavern in downtown Atlanta.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Bogey!!!

I never thought I could love anyone or anything more than my husband, friends, or family. But, Bogey our little love of our life always warms our hearts.He is just wonderful and brings alot of joy, love, and laughter to our family. Even though, we would love to have another doggie addition to our family one day, it will also be hard to take his place in our hearts.

Things I want to do this week!!

Bake Pumkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing...

and Carve Pumpkins!!!

Happy 26th Birthday Hubby!!!

GO GATORS!!

It's been a year..

It has been over a year since my last blog. And what a year it was. WEEW!! I can believe how much has gone within one year. We moved into our townhome in January, which we absolutely love. It has so much more space, a yard for Bogey, lots of great doggie friends in the neighborhood, and we have wonderful neighbors. In February we really started planning our wedding. I could have never imagines how much work would go into planning a wedding, until Reese and I planned ours. We got married on September 4th and it was amazing. From the venue at Primrose, our wonderful friends and family that traveled from all over the USA to spend the day with us, to the flowers, decor, food & drinks. It was one of the best days of our lives. It's crazy even after 5 years the spark is still there and I love Reese more and more each day!! Then we went on our honeymoon to Ocho Rios Sandals Resort in Jamaica. It was exactly what we needed. All the food and drinks you could want, great entertainment, lots of fun excursions, and sunshine!! Then back to reality, but just another busy year ahead of us. Which always makes life exciting.
