Picture Time!!

Happy Thursday! Today I had no appointments until 11am so figured I would blog ... again... for the 3rd day in a row! :) I'm off to a good blogging start for 2013 don't you think? hehe Real quick ...  two things that made my night last night, after a semi-stressful day: Exhibit 1:

Does anyone else's fur-child ever sleep like this?

The "back legs stretched out", army crawl look ... my ABSOLUTE favorite thing Frankie does!

So stinkin cute. I want to squeeze his little back feet ha! 

Exhibit 2: 

Who knew Chris was such an artist with chalk? ha ;)

So sweet ... I walked in the kitchen last night and saw this on the pantry door!! 

(I won't tell you what I was going in there for, it may or may not have been a box of chocolate coveried cherries I am obsessed with at Christmas time! Must stop eating them!!)

Love him, so nice and sweet and I just love when he does random little things like this ... not all guys are like that, I am lucky enough to have one that is ;) 

Lastly before the real moral of this little post ... 

New Year's Pics!

I don't know how I forgot to share these two, but they are too cute not to share!

Right at midnight ... lol ... I think you can even see the confetti on the TV in the background!

WILD at midnight, but so fun and funny! :) 

My Facebook card I shared to all my friends :)

Love me some Red Stamp ... if you don't have this app on your phone you should get it ... perfect for creating e-cards that you can share as a photo by email, text, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Super cute!! 

You're welcome in advance, you will obsessed! 

Alright friends ... I am excited to share today some
Engagement Pictures!!

First and foremost, shout out to Alicia @ Aesthetiica for her talented work!
She is awesome, but that's not new news to any of you I am sure! ;) 

Ok ... here we go ... total photo dump ... 

Love this one! Chris looks so handsome and the lighting is my fave!! <3 

Total model and little sweet angel Frankie is ;)

**Sweetness**

Love the horses in the background of this one, you can barely see them but they were so pretty! 

What do you think?? :) 
I have GOT to order Save the Date's today but am having a hard time deciding which one?
Which is your favorite?

Can't believe we are getting married in 5 months! 
Ahhh!  So much to do, but surprisingly enough, I am not really stressed ... yet. Ha! 

XO, 

Happy 2013 and Recapping Christmas!

Happy New Year Friends! 

Today I am taking the day to be lazy, work on some wedding stuff, relax from the CRAZY last couple of weeks I have had ... and finally catch up on blogging and everyone else's blogs! :) 

I have so many wonderful things to share from Christmas ... so this will be a long one ... then I have some other Christmas posts coming this week just to do a little recap! But I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and got to spend lots of time with their family and friends! 

Our Christmas was PERFECT!

I was such a bad blogger and didn't even get to share our Christmas card this year ... 

 Sorry had to take a picture of a picture, so it is a little blurry :(
But we definitively had Christmas Bliss this year!

If you are in Lexington ... our Christmas pictures were taken by Mary Maldonado and she was awesome!
Then our Christmas cards were made on Tinyprints.com

My work Christmas Cards were ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, 
and created by the fabulous Mary Ellen Designs...

How cute is that?

I gave her kind of my vision for what I wanted on the card ... and then she actually hand draws these things!

She exceeded my expectations beyond belief :) Love it! Cutest Real Estate Christmas Card of all time!

We had a great Christmas!

We literally had 4 Christmas's and they were all so special! 

Frankie received a special gift from Santa in his stocking ...  

 HOHOHO!
hahahaha
A little Santa hat and heard ... which he wasn't very excited about but made for a cute picture ;)

He also got a new cute Woolrich coat ;) 
He is so so handsome! 

I am kind of sad to take all of this down this week :( 

This was my favorite tree we've ever had! 

I had a fun time with the present wrapping this year and all my fun litte taggings ;) 

We got a surprise visit and literally one of the best cakes I have ever tasted, from Ginny our wedding planner! Love her times a million. She is the BEST! 

If you are local check out her website by clicking here ... she is awesome! 

On Christmas Day we had a blast ... 

The kids and their new robes ;) LOL

Chris and I opened some and bless his heart he did an amazing job this year! 

I am so blessed and lucky ... he remembered things I had just said in passing from months ago! 

So sweet and we were both very blessed this Christmas! 

I think one of my favorite things I got 

(besides my new cross body purse and gold monogrammed necklace! hehe) 

was this ... 

My little gold ring with Chris's initials on it ... obsessed with this. I have wanted one for a long time and it is even cuter in person than it looks in this pic! 

My other favorite thing is my new Marmot vest that my dad picked out all on his own lol ;)

He did good! I have worn it every day since Christmas, it is warm and cozy! 

We celebrated with our families and had a blast! 

Me, my Dad, my brother Chris and my Mom

I think it can all be summed up by this picture of Jake ... 

Best Day Ever!

(shirt from Nordstrom children's department)  

I have an awesome kid's Christmas Party to blog about...

our trip to Bristol, TN to see my family ... 

AND ... 

my 30 before 30 List that I have been compiling! 

Happy New Year! 

Hope your holiday's were blessed and fabulous!  

Xo,

Is it really December 1st?

I can't believe it's DECEMBER!!!
Where did November go? 

Hi friends!!!
I am alive, well and ok! Ha!
Thanks to everyone who emailed asking me where I vanished to :)

Things have been extremely busy in my world per the usual and I have had so many things to blog about just haven't had the time to do it for some reason!

And just so you believe me ... I'll share this with you ....

This is our beautiful, 10 ft tall, REAL Christmas Tree ... 

That has been sitting in my Living Room for

  6 days, 

with NO DECORATIONS OR LIGHTS on it 

hahaha :( 

Last night I told my friend I'll be lucky to get it decorated before Christmas at this rate! 

How sad is that? 

Today might be the day ... I am thinking I will have time to at least pull the stuff out but Chris is gone and selfishly I am being a baby and wanting to wait for his help ha ;) 

OK, Sooo my life for the last 21 days .... here goes! 

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving ... and this year we had 3 so it was super festive. 

My Aunt and her husband and Papaw came up this year so we got to hang out with them, we went to my dad's familys because my grandmother came in from NC, and then we went to Louisville for Chris's family!

How cute? 

My Aunt Cathy (looking so good after chemo this past year), Mom, Papaw, my brother Chris

 

My Aunt Cathy's Dog & Ella haha

My Dad & us

Me and the little turkeys ;) 

Me, My Bro & Mom

Chris & I  <3

Ava & Ella working on their Thanksgiving activity packets I made for all the kids :) 

We had a great Thanksgiving over a 3 day span ha

Then it was time to do it all over again for my birthday ... that's right ... 29 years old, last year of my twenties friends! Next year we will have to have a 30th blow out bash!

We went to dinner for my birthday with my family before they went back home ... 

We celebrated in Louisville with Chris's family and I got the CUTEST Christmas ornament from his mom ... 

It's so hard to see in the pic but its sooo cute a little engagement ring in a box :) Love it! Thanks Cathi! <3 

On my actual birthday Chris surprised me and we took the day off and went to Cincinnati to go shopping, eat dinner and spend the night! :) It was so fun! We needed the break away for a night and I am so glad he thought of it... not much gets past me ha but I was totally surprised! 

I haven't taken pics of anything else I got except these ... my NEW FRYE BOOTS! 

Ahhh I am obsessed with them! I lusted over them for a few weeks but couldn't find them in Lex and didn't want to order them because I wanted to try them on first ... then finally stumbled across them at Nordstrom and they had one pair left, size 6, meant to be! Ha! 

The birthday celebration continued this week with a girls dinner with a few of my girlfriends ... 

We went to dinner and had a fun night! 

I had an awesome birthday!! :) 

The kids made me the absolute sweetest and best cards I have ever gotten ... we celebrated with them some too and over all it was a great birthweek lol this last year was such a great year full of so many blessings and I am so thankful! #Blessed. 

I need to make a 30 Before 30 List soon!!! 

How fun is that? If you have one on your blog please share :) 

In case you're wondering how my baby is ... 

Frankie got his Christmas bow tie in the mail this past week and he looks so handsome in it ... 

He's been sleeping with his new favorite lamb and he hugs her at night ;) hahaha so sweet!

He begged for turkey for 3 straight days!! 

And then he wore his favorite sweater for me on my birthday and cuddled with me :) 

Love his face! 

AND ... 

I'll give you a sneak peek at my business Christmas cards that I send to clients ...

This years is the BEST yet ... and look at little Frankie ... 

Hahahaha! How cute is that? Freaking love it! 

Can't wait to share the entire card!! 

I got to cuddle this sweet baby boy this week ... 

How sweet is that face? Love him!

Now just a photo dump of some of my recent faves...

So pretty! :) 

Haha he cracks me up! 

Boy clothes are my new favorite thing ... they're so cute and he looks so stylish ;)

Before Black Friday shopping ... this girl was a total trooper! 

She told me someone scared her and told her their were too many people and she would get lost and so she was a little nervous to go poor thing :(  ... But as soon as I reassured her that was the most ridiculous thing ever, and of course she would never get lost and she would have a blast but that we just had to stick together, she was ready to go! And go she did! 

She lasted from 8pm until 3:30am!! That did include Starbucks and Dip n Dots haha but hey, it was her first Black Friday experience so she deserved it ;)

She was so proud of herself for going and staying up late and couldnt wait to tell her sister the next morning and rub it in lol cracked us up.  

At dinner the other night after having some Christmas pics taken ...

I think that's it for now :) 

Tomorrow I am posting about my new favorite headband store on ETSY! 

Don't miss it, they are so super cute I am obsessed. 

Tonight I am off to a Christmas Panty Exchange Party with some girlies! So fun! 

Can't wait to share those pics ha! 

Happy December!
