Finally!!

I know I've done a ridiculous job at this blogging thing! I haven't been in the mood and quite honestly, the last few months have been rough. Yes, I know, I haven't posted since August but geez. Massage school is keeping me busy but I love it. We bought a massage table for my birthday present! I'm hoping to switch to part time come January to make things a little bit easier on everyone... But anyway, lately I'm feeling a bit homesick. It's the combo of the holidays and being faraway and the loss of my pops. Regardless, I am very grateful for my family and all the love I have for them. And I like to thank my dear, sweet sister for inspiring me to put up a Christmas tree! This season really is magical and even better with decorations. Josh and I are so proud of our first Christmas tree (ever)! The ornaments are simple; just red and white. We still need to find a tree topper and skirt though.

We have 4 more strings of lights to add! Josh is already making plans for next years' lawn scheme.

The menu at "Hey Cupcake!". We went here after breakfast on my birthday

Delicious!

We stayed at the very fancy Driskill hotel. At some point this old hotel was a bank and this is the safety deposit box area.

The ceiling were so TALL in our super cool room.

A trip home is not complete without the Rutherford Grill. We all ate like pigs! I didn't notice the hook 'em horns behind my head (from Josh) until I uploaded this pic!

Josh took this one....

This was our very first appetizer from our deluxe BBQ. Thank you aunti di and UB!
This is shrimp with butter and lemon. I learned this tasty treat from Mr. Mark DeWitt.

Yumm...beef and veggie kabobs.
