A little change

Ronnie got me a new bedspread for Christmas. I've been wanting a little bit of a change for our bedroom. I love what I had before but after a few years its nice to have a little change. I'm a bit bummed because I didn't take any pictures before I changed the room around. O well. But I do have some pictures from when we first moved in.

It was a baby blue color and all the light fixtures screamed 80s. It was pretty dirty with cat hair too. Nasty.

 

 

 With new light fixtures, paint and some TLC it was looking quite a bit better.

 

Now with my new updates... I always feel like it looks better in person...

 

Anyways, just a little update :)

Christmas in Williamsburg

Ronnie and I went back to Williamsburg to see all the pretty Christmas decorations and to see some things we didn't have time to see while his parents were in town. Our passes expire at the end of the year and it was a beautiful sunny day so we took the opportunity to go!

Governor's Palace

 

 The maze in Governor's Palace gardens

 

There was a little market and garden.

 I loved their mini greenhouses.

 



I love all the wreaths in Williamsburg. They are so pretty!!

They are made with fruits and other fresh things.

 

 

We stayed for the illumination of the palace green. That was pretty cool! They had the revolutionary band with drums (which are my favorite) and torches. They would say "The Governor's Palace" or the name of the house and shoot their muskets and then light the fires in front of the house until the whole street was lit up. So fun.

 

Excited for Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

 

 

We are excited for Christmas this year and will be spending it here at home. I've had Christmas music playing at work all month and I was good about getting our shopping done early this year even though work has been super busy. So its been easier to feel the Christmas spirit instead of the Christmas stress :) Although, it's crazy its already Christmas....My mind is still stuck in September!

 

What are you doing for Christmas?

 

During the Christmas season it always seems that having family around is so important and we are very grateful for our families. We are still hoping to expand our family by adoption and make Christmas time more fun with little ones around. So spread the word! We truly appreciate it!

A Thanksgiving Trip

For Thanksgiving my parents, Ronnie and I took a trip to visit my brother and his wife in Kansas City, KS. We decided to drive and it was a 20 something hour drive. The drive went very smooth and we were very happy about that! I tend to have bad luck in Beckley, WV but we drove right on through and nothing happen. I'm pretty sure that was a first!

 

We had such a good time and it was so good to see Cory and Chelsea and their cute home.

 

On Thanksgiving we visited some church sites in the morning and then came

 back to prepare and eat dinner.

 

 

During our time there we visited the art museum in Kansas City and did quite a bit of shopping!

 

It was nice to get out and do something different and to spend time with my whole family.
