Vlogmas: Day 4

Good morning lovely friends!

I feel like this past weekend flew by oh so quickly....come back!
If you are wondering about our car, it is finally fixed. The problem was, as stated in Vlogmas Day 2, that our AC/Heater fan was broken as well as another component. For the first time in over a year our AC will blow on more levels than just high! We had the same problem about a year and a half ago which was fixed last summer and then out it went again! All things considered, we still had a car that drove and got us to where we needed to be. But now our car not only drives, it also has a fan that blows on levels 1-4. Hallelujah :)
Without further ado, our Sunday Funday! 

 

With the holidays in full force I am seeing our calendar fill up so quickly. Every weekend there is an activity, party or event to attend and I need to remember to be in the moment. I'm dedicating this entire week to solely Christmas music. Nothing but holly jolly music all the time.


I hope today is productive for you seeing as it is the beginning to a new week. Grab that coffee and work your butt off. I'll be back tomorrow for more fun vlogging!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Hello again, friends! 

As long weekends away would have it, there was much to do when we got home.

Last night neither of us got much sleep ; hubs stayed up playing with his new Xbox and I watched numerous videos on Youtube. I’m beyond interesting, can’t you tell!

With us fighting the urge to take a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day, we ran some errands and made it back to our little home for the yummiest dinner, made by hubs himself! To die…so good.

Oh and something really cool as well, Adam received the limited edition Birchbox Man in the mail and has now used the shampoo, moisturizer and a few other things. For what the box is actually worth, you get so many cool items and high-end products. Kudos to BB, you guys and gals hit it out of the park!

Here are a few snapshots of our evening:

 

I would like to say that our life has exciting events with parties to attend  and people to meet but lately, it has been more or less laundry, home tasks and work…as you can see. Someday soon :)

After devouring our meal we watched all of the behind-the-scences from Super 8 (It’s a must see if you haven’t already) and put up the tree.

I’m really glad to have one more day off so that all of the other necessary tidbits I have to take care of will be done by Monday.

Have a splendid nights sleep, I'll talk to you soon.

A Very Merry Gingerbread Weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend despite the rain that fell.
Saturday was Adam's 24th birthday which we celebrated of course with the start of Gibson's Donuts and some of our favorite magazines.

Birthday Boy!

 

 

Since the rain was pouring we stayed in for the afternoon and watched movies while cuddled up on the couch and later ate at Huey's for his b-day dinner. Huey's is a memphis burger joint famous for their, well, burgers (soooo yummy) and the toothpicks people have thrown on the ceiling. Gross, I know. But it's kitschy and so we like it.
Yesterday we finally got to visit the newly married couples sunday school class. I've been yearning for friendships with couples that are in the same place in their lives as we are and I hope we find those friendships there. We truly enjoyed the teachers and how much it related to what we're going through as a couple. Although we won't be able to attend the next couple of weeks for being out of town, I'm excited for January and all of the wonderful relationships God has in store for the both of us.
Seeing as we've started this new life together as a married couple we decided that we want to build our own traditions for every holiday/season. A tradition I wanted to institute was making a gingerbread house! For some reason we never really made one, that I can remember, as a kid and I felt it was about time.
No no no I did not bake my own gingerbread, I wanted to make a pretty house, not burn it before it was put up! Many thanks goes to Wal Mart for mass producing a cheap version with all the accoutrement that we needed for only $8!

 

 And a few pictures of our lovely little place with some Christmas cheer :)

More posts for this week that I'm quite excited about, feathers anyone?
