Its been awhile

The husband and I have slowly been updating various things around the house, but you wouldn't know that because I haven't gotten around to posting about the projects!

To tell you the truth, its almost absurd how much time we devoted to housing related projects over the last few months of last year. So, we're on a hiatus from home improving for awhile (maybe). But I suppose you might want to see what's changed or been updated.

Remember this list we came up with? Well we managed to get a number of things accomplished. I'm planning to update the blog every few days with pictures of our home adventures!

One of our first major projects was the office.

What we have remaining:

1. A few things for the walls (DIY potential here)
2. A larger DIY project to add a furniture element
3. A rug! (which will also likely be another DIY adventure)

I'll keep you updated on the progress. Oh and just for funsies, a picture of Gracie around Christmas time.

Holiday fun Part 2

The last day of our visit to NC happened to be the Belk Bowl where NC State played Louisville, so we headed down to Charlotte to spend our last day with friends. We had a really great time despite the cold weather!!  We brought our new camera lens (which clearly is taking some adjustment on our part so unfortunately some of the pictures are a little blurry).

 

Holiday fun

We traveled to NC for Christmas this year. Unlike most of our trips to NC it was very low key because of a nasty stomach bug that hit me the night before we flew. Oh the joy of traveling and flying with a stomach bug. At least Atlanta has seats without arm rests.

Unfortunately the stomach bug kept us from running around NC to see our friends, but there will hopefully be a visit in February. Despite not visiting with friends, we had a nice quiet Christmas, full of time with my family and a lot of resting.

After several days of feeling a bit queasy, we managed to visit with my bff and her kids on Christmas day. I love those kids!! (All 4 of them)

December fun

We had some friends visit this past weekend and had fun-filled weekend!

We went to a tacky Christmas sweater/favorite Christmas movie character party.

And we went to the Carolina Panthers - Houston Texans football game. One of the husband's coworkers hooked us up with pre-game on field passes and post-game passes. I apologize in advance for the ridiculous number of pictures but it was so fun being on the field - I felt like a kid!

I did take a few pictures of the Texans but since I don't follow the Texans, I only new a few players.

Matt Schaub

Post pictures were not as fun b/c we missed most of the team. But we did get one of Cam.

Not the friendliest guy in the world.
