Christmas

In early December, I celebrated the nuptials of one of my fave coworkers!

The tall dr was in Miami, so I missed my better half!

New Years morning started off with some mimosas!

#readyforgameday

The tall dr has been working a lot, so I thought he needed a treat...heard this Whiskey Wedge was all the rage!

#surlatable #hopeitworks #heloveswhiskey

If you're like me, January can be a little dark and dreary...these fresh blooms have helped brighten up my living room!

iPhone Dump

In November (when it was actually cold outside) I enjoyed some roaring fires at the tall dr's house!

#realfire #cozy

The tall dr is always watching NFL games, so I'm trying to get in the spirit!

#lovetodressintheme

Tried out a new pot roast recipe and it was a winner!

#tasty #crockpotsarethebomb

The tall dr only likes 1 dessert...apple cake.  So, I did some research and found one that sounded similar to the one he really enjoyed...it was delish!

#tookmemonthstofind #willbemakingagain

Gotta love Auburn/Alabama day at school!

#wde

Lish was definitely feeling the AU spirit!

#AUtigersnumberone

The tall dr surprised me with an impromptu date night so naturally I bought a new dress for the occasion!

#dinnerathighlands #mesh #ilovetogetdressedup

After dinner, he surprised me with a "staycation" at Ross Bridge! 

#sofun #parlorsuite 

The tall dr gives me a run for my money in the kitchen!

While the tall dr is in Miami, I've been catching up on "Girls" and enjoying my tree!

#hehatesGirls #imobsessed

Trying to get back into the routine of going to the gym...it's kickin' my tail if you can't tell by my red face!  ;)

Thanksgiving at the Beach

We spent another wonderful Thanksgiving at the beach this year.  I love our new tradition of spending Turkey Day at our favorite place.  This year was the Crowes year with us, so we were especially thankful for that!

I hit the road at 6 am sharp with the Crowes!

#thirdrow #packedinlikesardines

Went straight to lunch at the beach!

#nofilter

Absolute perfection!

#beachselfie

Gettin' the holiday started with a little mimosa action!

#cheers

It's always fun when Sister and her crew are with us!

#thecrowes

Later that night, we all had dinner at Borago...thanks, Dad for the amazing wine!

#30A #chimneyrock

Sister and I didn't plan our "vest" moment, but we rocked the heck out of them!

#greatmindsthinkalike #fauxfur

DeeDee always outdoes herself with the personal touches...LOVED our "owl" tablecloth!
