It's still the "holidays" right?

So, as I sit here with a glass of wine and watching a movie, I sit & ask myself... Exactly how long can I keep up our Christmas decorations? I feel as if it wasn't long enough... All the hard work & weekend spent putting everything up.

What is TOO late to keep it up??:)

How cute is this??

 

 

 

 

 

My adorable friend Mckeever has started a embroidery & screen printing business Nattie MACK. Christmas may be over but you are always needing gifts and what better gifts then monogrammed to make something special and personalized. Here are some of their recent items: 

 

 

 

 

Do you have any items you have at home you want to be monogrammed? Bring them over to Nattie MACK & they will be happy to assist you with that.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is rapidly approaching & I am in full swing of things! Today is Friday, so that being said.. I have the weekend to get things wrapped up (literally). I am SO excited for the festivities to begin. From the Christmas parties, church services, present opening & spending time with families that is why I love Christmas.

I have finished up all of my shopping & wrapped most of my gifts but there is always some last minute things to do. I cant wait to spend Christmas with my family up in greenville & Edwin's family also. We are so excited to be spending our first Christmas together. I have so many things to be thankful for.

I doubt I will be blogging before Christmas, I hope you and your families have the happiest holidays! Keep your families close & remember those things that are most important.

christmas card-

Yet again I am mentioning my wonderful friend Stefanie Stroman's graphic design company in my blog. She really has her business "Stroman Studio's" on full blast right now. Christmas is an exciting time for her & she loves to get into the holiday spirit. Stefanie designed our Christmas card this year & i love it! She works so hard to put her heart into each one of her designs. You will not leave her studio un-happy.

 

Thanks again Stroman Studios for designing our perfecet Christmas 2012 Card.

 We love you very much!

the week from..

this is the week-

to most.. this is the most joyful time of year- Christmas approaching, Shopping and of course vacation starting. well for everyone but students.

it is crunch time. As you may all know, I am anxiously anticipating my acceptance in my clinical area of the Surgical Technology Program. These exams are not only crucial to my GPA but to my acceptance and start time into the program. So much stress and so much work (so little time). I have to keep thinking to myself, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The medical fields is such high competition now and will be forever into the future. It is a ticket for a steady job which I can honestly say I cant wait to start. I love the medical field and could not see myself working anywhere else. I am extremely excited to start my clinicals and begin making a difference in peoples lives.

So- to my faithful followers Say a Prayer as i begin my week of hell. 

& to my fellow classmates - good luck & remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

a lil' christmas

So- This past weekend we started our plot for christmas decorating and tree gathering. We decided we want to actually cut down a frazier fur. Which as you may or may not know you can only get (closest by) in North Carolina. We left Saturday on our adventure. Edwins brother & sister in-law came with us to enjoy the laughs and fun.

We went to Boyd Mountain Christmas Tree Farm, in Waynesville North Carolina. It was absolutley beautiful and such a family spot. We searched for our tree from the billions of them and found our perfect one!

 

We got our tree and went shopping in downtown Waynesville. Super cute shops and christmas stores all around.

 

We got home and started decorating the house. I had this vision/idea that i wanted a peacock inspired christmas tree. I love the look and colors of the feathers and wanted that. Welp, it turned out SO cute. I love having a fully decorated house to wake up to! Major props to edwins sister-in -law who helped until 2 AM. (oops.) We had a great time! Such a fun memmory.

Here is our final product! : )
