New Year 2014

    The Holidays were a whirlwind, I promise to post pictures sometime soon.  Tonight is New Years Eve and one of my biggest resolutions for the new year is to limit time around negative people.  There are some people in our lives that we have to be around aka family.  I am that person who strives above and beyond to make everything perfect, it has taken me a really long time to realize that I cannot and will never be perfect.  Negativity and people who try to bring you down really affect me, simply because I don't understand that thought process.  I am an incredibly positive person and always strive to be happy in whatever circumstance, with that being said negativity really affects me.  I am pretty sensitive to negativity that comes my way, but specifically when it is targeted at me to make me feel bad about myself.  My goal for the new year is to severely limit my time around any and all negativity, because after all life is way to short to be brought down by others.  So cheers to the new year, may 2014 bring you nothing but positive thoughts and time with friends and loved ones.

Merry Christmas






Well friends, I'm off to Greensboro to spend Christmas with the fam.  My car is literally overflowing, mama Jill is sooo demanding, I've done most of her Christmas shopping, so half the stuff in my car isn't really mine. I'm excited to start cooking all my dishes and sweet tea I've signed up for and nights by the fire pit with a delish glass of red wine.  I can't wait to celebrate my nephew's first Christmas and see all my extended family (all 60 of us will be together at my grandparents Christmas day).  

I have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas season, I am especially thankful for everyone in our military who can't be with their loved ones on Christmas.  Thank you for what you do for our great country and the sacrifices you and your family make.  Everyone should take a moment to find something they are thankful for.  I will be ringing the Salvation Army bell on Christmas Eve (a long time tradition with my dad), it is the perfect way to remember the meaning of Christmas and giving!

I hope everyone has the most wonderful, sparkly holiday!  I'm taking the rest of the week to chill and just be, so see you sometime after the Christmas week!  Enjoy an all time favorite Christmas song of mine Judy Garland, "Have Yourself a Merry Christmas."

River Water


Welcome to the weekend before Christmas!  I for one am taking the time to relax before all the crazy mayhem of seeing everyone, dancing, drinking, eating and talking over one another, at least that's what happens at our house.  Here is Moon Taxi, a great band out of Nashville called "River Water."  Enjoy, I hope everyone is done with Christmas shopping!!!
