Love It!

Can I have any more monograms in my house? Well... maybe three more!

Two of these for the sofas...


 This one for the bed...

Oh how I wish I owned an embroidery machine!

How Do You Wake Up in the Morning?



The husband captured this moment this morning... Oh how I love the furbaby!

Christmas Is Finally Over...Sad Day!

So since I was on a cruise and the husband was not because of work...Christmas was a little off this year. Next year will be different though. Our Christmases are a little like the movie, Four Christmases, because each of our parents is remarried, -all the crazy siblings from the movies. Anyways, we celebrated some before my cruise and some after my cruise! We celebrated our last Christmas with my Dad and Step mom last night and had a great time. I did get my jacket...

But Ashley, I did not get this... (I may have to just look at pictures of yours)

And sadly...but I expected it, I did not get the Tahoe! Maybe my birthday?
But I did get this, which I was dying to have! A Deep Covered Baker from Pampered Chef...it's like Magic!

The neatest scissors EVER!

As soon as I figure out how to use the covered dish I will let you know!

I Was... Born in the USA!

and am I glad to be back! The cruise was amazing but there is NO place like home! I had such a great Christmas as I hope y'all did too. This is going to be a long post full of pics from Christmas and the cruise so hold on...
Before we left the husband, furbaby, and I did our own Christmas... Sorry I didn't take many pics.







The husband gave me this beautiful monogrammed necklace! LOVE IT!

Then we headed to another family's house for Christmas...













Then we headed to have Christmas with my brother since he couldn't go on the cruise with us!

Doesn't he look so cute in his little outfit!

He was so creative in my sister wrapping... a pizza box with ones taped to the inside. Ha! Too funny! And then we were off...





We won Bingo tickets... No winners though... Sad day!









Grand Turks...

Scuba diving... Let's just say i had my mask too tight and when I surfaced it looked like I had hickey on my eyes... Nice...



Goodbye Grand Turks...





Hello Puerto Rico...







Their version of the Dollar Store...

My favorite doughnut from DD, marble frosted that I found from a vendor on a side street... Sketch but yum...









Preparing for the canopy tour...

Goodbye Puerto Rico... a homeless man getting his dog to ask for money! Of course I fell for it! Yes... I washed my hands afterwards too!

My favorite, Tortola...

We took mopeds and toured the island with a local... The best way to "really" see the island.

Our guide...









** Pause**
*Great story alert* (Sorry mom)
As you can see here, I was on the back of my mom's moped and took a picture of my sister and step dad behind us.


Wait...why am I not on my mom's moped anymore...oh yeah...let me just tell you that the last corner we went around my mom didn't quite turn all the way and we wrecked. Yes, only us! I fell on her so I didn't get hurt that bad but she was banged up a bit... So I was riding with the guide since mom was not labeled "Unfit for a Passenger." Ha!









The Rum distillery that DHEC so would have shut down!







We bought some...





The BEST bar in town... supposedly... Heck no I didn't find out for myself...



















Welcome to Half Moon Bay, Bahamas... Beautiful!



I had such an amazing time but I am so glad to be back with my family! I love this quote from my husband, "I thought it might be nice to have a little time apart but then I really did miss you. I never knew how much their was to do around the house." Glad to be home!
