Night of a thousand candles

Back at the beginning of December the ladies in the fam went to Myrtle Beach for Night of a thousand candles and shopping. Kimberly and I are the only ones in my pics since we didn't eat there and everyone else did. Last year I ate there and lets just say never again. So they ate and we explored the gardens. It was quite cold but beautiful there. We found a little house in the middle of the place with hot chocolate, cider, beer and wine among yummy treats. I got hot chocolate and she had a glass of white wine. We must have been slow because we were done for 10 mins before everyone else was done. It must have been all the time we spent taking silly pictures. 

We all headed to the beach house we stayed at for the evening. It was nice to sit around drink wine and chat with everyone. 

Saturday morning we woke up and hit the outlets for shopping. We headed back to Charleston that afternoon in the pouring rain. 

It was such a good time and maybe will be a yearly tradition since we went last year too.

Thanksgiving 2013

How has Thanksgiving already come and gone?!?!? I swear this year is flying by and I wouldn't mind if it slowed down a bit. Anywho, we had our family Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncles house! They just got married so he is officially my uncle. So weird but so happy for her to be married! We had a ton of food as usual but I didn't eat a lot. I am watching my calories to an extent. I have a bridesmaids dress to fit in next weekend thats the main reason why. We all enjoyed visiting with the fam!

I love my sisters! 

Izzy was Kimberlys best friend this day! :) 

We spent the afternoon at home hanging out. Then me and Shannon went to Walmart for some deals. I got the kids some cool things and a Ninja smoothie maker for me :) that thing is amazing!! 

Such a great day! I have so much to be thankful for! Family, friends, job, roof over my head, food in my belly etc! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Kellys wedding shower

Today we celebrated Kellys' upcoming wedding with a little wedding shower. It was mainly family for her with a few friends thrown in the mix. It was such a nice shower and she got a lot of really nice things.  We ate a ton of yummy food including some really good carrot cake cupcakes! :) Only 21 more days until she is a married woman!! Such a crazy thought but I am so excited for her and can't wait!! I also hope I can still fit my bridesmaids dress!! They def ordered the wrong size and it JUST fits. We will see how that goes!

 Best friends since we were babies

Kelly and Josh holding their countdown pumpkin! 21 days ya'll!!

 

 

 

Halloween 2013

So last weekend my aunt threw her annual Halloween Party at her house. We always have a lot of fun seeing everyone dressed up and her awesome décor. This year they had a TON of food which I definitely enjoyed. Little did I know this would be the last time eating REAL yummy food for over a week. I got plaqued on Sunday with the stomach flu from Hell. I am now on day 7 and finally starting to feel like a normal person again. I am not however back to 100%. I pray nobody else gets this because it was not a good time. Anyway enough about the horrible flu. Enjoy the pics!

Race for the Cure 2013

Last weekend I walked a 5K with a bunch of great people. We did the Race for the Cure to help raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. My friend Norrissia lost her mom to breast cancer so we did it in her honor. We had a much bigger group this year which made it even more fun. Friday night we had a little get together for everyone to meet each other, get our shirts and enjoy some yummy food too.

 How awkward do I look holding a baby?? haha one of Nors twins.

 Here is our traditional group pic for the cookout

Saturday morning we all headed dark and early to Daniel Island. They have a bunch of vendors giving out free stuff starting at 7am and it is always fun to walk around and see all of the stuff they have going on. I got there early, go figure! I am always early to everything!

 One of the window displays on the Island. I thought it was cool that the businesses got involved and creative with their windows.

 Above is our group about to walk the 5k and below is when we first got to the Island.

We were a little slower this year but we had strollers and one injured Wanda Warrior but we still had a ton of fun and it was definitely an experience. I am definitely thinking next year I want to wear a fun pink tutu! We shall see! Maybe I should go check out the Halloween stores next weekend and try to find one on clearance!
