This year has been one crazy thing (usually bad) after another, so when my grandparents offered to let us use their timeshare points for a little getaway we didn't have to think twice. We took them up on their offer and began checking out our options. We knew we wanted to go somewhere we've never been before. We love going to the beach, but since our trip was going to be in November, it seemed going to the north east coast might be a fun option -- think of all the fall leaves! That's what led us to choose Newport, Rhode Island. Today, I'm sharing all about our trip! Let me start by saying Continue Reading
March Visitors #2
Travis and I must have had the luck of the Irish this month because we had two weeks of visitors. Last week I shared a recap of our time with Travis' sister and nephew at Sea World and Downtown Disney. Today, I'm sharing about our time with my brother and his girlfriend -- Logan and Kendall. Luckily, Travis had Monday off so once our visitors arrived, Travis got to spend two-and-a-half days with them. We played board games, played laser tag, won some candy playing arcade games, visited the mall, went bowling, took a tour of Fort Stewart and enjoyed lots of laughs. While Travis Continue Reading
Our First Married Thanksgiving
Thursday was our first Thanksgiving as husband and wife. Even though we were both missing our family, we had a great day together. Let me share with ya'll about it (plus lots of photos!) We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade -- a tradition for both of us. I made my first Thanksgiving meal! I was a little nervous about it, but it actually turned out really well! I made a three pound turkey breast, mashed potatoes, noodles, green beans, and rolls. Unfortunately, the gravy didn't turn out for some reason. It was OK though because Travis didn't want gravy anyways, it was just for me. Continue Reading
October Visitors
We have had visitors almost every month we've lived here so far. July, September and now October have all brought my family to Georgia. It's been great! First, I love hosting guests. I like the cleaning and preparing and I enjoy showing them around our area. But most of all, I love it because I get to see my family! I love living here in Georgia, but I miss my family a lot. Having different folks come visit is a special treat that eases my homesickness and helps them see how great it is here. This month, my grandparents and mom came to visit. They stayed at our apartment for a few days and Continue Reading
September Visitors
Before September is over, I want to share with ya'll about the fun we had with our visitors this month. My brother and his girlfriend, along with my parents, came to see us! Logan and Kendall (that's my little bro and his woman) could only stay for the weekend because their college classes called. My parents, though, stayed for a whole week! This is a summary of our time with our visitors -- mostly in pictures -- if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen some of these. (I LOVE Instagram!) On our first day with everybody, we went to Tybee Island for some beach time. We packed a picnic Continue Reading
