Our First Christmas as Mr. & Mrs.

We are very excited to spend our first Christmas as Newlyweds! We are also blessed to have Kylie for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year. We have decorated the house and last night as a family we drank Egg Nog and put the ornaments on the tree. This is my favorite time of year and we enjoy spending time with family and friends. We are busy this season with holiday parties, shopping and still getting back into the swing of things from the wedding. Here are a few pictures from our holiday fun - you can see the great lights my hubby put up last week! And of course...Marley was pooped from all the hard work she did sleeping and watching us run around the house - she's our little Santa Dog. We wish you a very happy holiday season!

Getting Back in the Swing of Things!

Jeff and I had a very productive weekend and it felt good to finally make some progress on our house. It's been great to catch up with our friends and family. The pictures above are from the "Galactic" Concert at House of Blues last week.

This weekend I also co-hosted a shower for Chelsee Glasco and it was great to see some of my friends after the wedding. It was fun to talk about the wedding and all that happened and reflect on everything. Chelsee is so cute pregnant! We can't wait to meet "Baby G"!

Have a great week!

Just Married!!

Jeff and I are so happy to finally be married! Our wedding was absolutely amazing and everything went off without a hitch. We are anxiously awaiting the pictures from our photographer and will post some as soon as we get them. Our honeymoon in Maui was an absolute blast and we enjoyed hiking, sailing, snorkeling and just relaxing on the beach. It was great for us to have some down time and we are looking forward to being back in town as husband and wife and to spend some great time with Kylie!! We've had a lot to do since we got home but it's been fun unwrapping gifts, putting our dishes in the cabinets and hanging out at home with Kylie and Marley. This weekend we have some down time and we are so excited to be together and reflect on the past 11 months. What a fun ride it was!! Thanks to everyone who contributed to our special day...it meant so much to us!

Our First Wedding Shower!

This past Saturday our good friends the Hobbs' and the Cookes' hosted a couples shower for us. It had a luau theme and everything was perfect down to the last detail. Alan and Kari welcomed our friends and family into their home and everyone had such a great time. We ate, drank and played the Newlywed Game...which was quite entertaining. Jeff and I were reminded once again how great our friends are...and how lucky we are to be surrounded by such caring, loving family and friends during this special time in our lives. Thank you to everyone who attended and made it an evening we'll never forget!

This is new for us!

I've always seen people who had blogs and thought I'd never be one of them, but I think it might be a fun way to keep people updated on our lives, hear the funny stories about planning a wedding, newlywed trials and tribulations and all the other exciting things that life has ahead of us! Thanks to Kristin for showing me it can be done! Hope you all enjoy!
