Change

So I'm officially a working woman. I started working at a title company this past monday. I've actually worked there before a few years ago. No more naps for me...haha. Ronnie also got a "new" car this past week. We've been looking for one for a while and then when I got the job we put our search in full gear. Ronnie also sold his motorcycle on craigslist. It went pretty fast. I know he's sad about it but its a bit of relief for me! The guy who bought it was REALLY excited and his wife was a little LESS excited. Haha... I think this is the typical feeling for most wives. Although, his car is stick shift so Ronnie is happy about that so now he doesn't have to drive my wimpy automatic anymore. That's fine with me...

Sorry no pictures this time. Just a little update! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Outdoors

We've been busy this summer with little weekend trips! Here are some pictures from the last two family mini vacations (with the whole fam!).

We went camping off of Skyline Drive in the Mountains at the beginning of the month. We did a long hike to some waterfalls.

Then we were invited by some of our good family friends to stay at a lake house they rented at Smith Mountain Lake. We wake boarded at tubed. Well I only tubed once at a very slow pace because of my hurting back but everyone else did great!!

Good times.

Mmmm...peaches!

My mom, Chelsea and I went peach picking on Knotts Island.

Then we canned them!

Visit

I went up to Lexington to visit one of my favorites!

I'm so glad she lives only hours away!

Ronnie's Rants

Ronnie has started a new blog to write his thoughts on politics, books, lawyer stuff or whatever else he feels like.

It's been a year...

..since we were married! Can you believe it?? One year down....eternity to go!

For our anniversary we decided to take a little trip to Charleston, SC. I love that place and now Ronnie does too. We spent the couple days we were there visiting plantations, walking around downtown and admiring the beautiful homes.








People say the first year of marriage is the hardest...I don't believe it. This past year has been great and I couldn't ask for a better hubby! Happy One Year babe!!!
