2015...Legacy

Do you ever just sit down and take time to take inventory of life?? If you don't, there is no better time than now.  If you are on the east coast, you still have a little under five hours which is plenty time to examine life in 2015 and make notes for progress in 2016. I'm not saying write resolutions you won't live by, I'm just saying see what you did wrong in 2015 and make it right in the new year.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was a blast!  myself and the hubster joined my entire family in Rogers, Arkansas where  my younger sister hosted Thanksgiving this year.  We drove out 11 hours and back and it was an absolute good time. It' always a good time when I'm with my siblings but this year was extra special.

Structure...Part 2

After my last post, I had enough time to actually think about the title of the post and decided that I had to put up a second post.  Only this time, the second post has nothing to do with the house being built physically and more to do with the hubster and I as a unit.

Structure...Part 1

Over the weekend, the hubster and I went to go check out the progress on our new home.  As you can imagine, we are overjoyed.  It's our first home and we want to make sure we don't skip a beat.  We were pleasantly surprised by the view that greeted us when we drove up to the site.

The Long Journey.......HOME!

Just a piece of land

Sometime earlier in the year, the hubster and I were riding past a new subdivision that was being built in an upscale neighborhood closer to the city and decided to drop in and look at the model home.  This is something we've enjoyed doing over the years.

Remember two week ago when I promised to share pictures from that photo shoot we took for our anniversary?  Well here is a quick sneak peek.  I can hardly wait to get the rest of the pictures back. Until then....

Happy First!

A couple of days ago, Sunday the 14th to be exact we (the hubs and I) officially turned a year old. I'm truly excited and almost overwhelmed with a mix of emotions when I think on the past year and even beyond.

1001 Thoughts

It's only Tuesday and this already seems like one of the longest weeks.

Valentine!

It's been a long two weeks...

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. The hubs and I celebrated our first as a married couple and it was definitely a chill one.

On Friday night, we attended a Valentine's Day gala that was hosted by our church and it was a good time with good people and good vibe.  We had a great time and hubby danced his heart out. LOL! Saturday was even better, we slept in and had some good conversation and then headed to brunch at a spot a coworker recommended called Buttermilk Kitchen. Great food. I highly recommend it. Overall good weekend.

I fall in love with this man daily and Valentine's Day was just another one of those day.


Some pictures from the weekend...

Valentine's Day also happened to be 8 months since we said our I do's. 

Have a great week!!!

Why Stop Now

Happy Monday folks!

January is already over and we are already ending day two of February.  I'm already anticipating my first escapade of the year.  I've really tried to be low key with the travelling thing because of the hubstar but I'm beginning to have the "itching feet syndrome". 

Eliminating your debt is possible.

So I was doing my daily reading on Yahoo this morning and come on this article that I just had to share.  A couple who eliminated their debt in a little less than 3 years.  Now tell me that's not worth an applause and even maybe a step or two in those foot prints.

I was really inspired and maybe somewhat fired up by this that now I feel the need to do just what they did.  Student loans, care notes, credit cards and all it's possible to eliminate debt totally.  It just takes a lot of discipline. If they can do it, I to can and so can anyone else.

Monday Reflections

Happy Monday People!

I always love coming back from a long weekend because it means less working days in the week.  I hope everyone got a chance to do something fun and memorable this weekend and mostly something beneficial to someone other than yourself.

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year!

Just like that 2014 ended and we are already half way into January 2015.  I am nothing short of Grateful for the blessings 2014 brought and look forward to everything 2015 holds but at the same time, I have to challenge myself every so often.
