Our tree!

We did a real tree for the first time this year. I love the smell and it looks beautiful! We also started to do some decorating around the rest of the house. We're definitely in that honeymoon stage of home ownership and will probably over-do the decorating a bit this year. It's fun, though!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving. It feels like a day to focus on the positive. I try to think about all of things that are going right and that I should be thankful for. I'll be honest, some years that has been easier said than done. I really try, though!

I have so much. My husband and daughter are, of course, at the top of the list. We are all healthy. My husband is my rock. I really could not ask for more in a man. I am also feeling so grateful for the beautiful house and great neighborhood that we are now in. What a blessing!

I know it can be hard to focus on the positive. I hope that on Thanksgiving Day you can look around and count your blessings. Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Home

The biggest news in our family is the purchase of our home! After looking at hundreds of houses we finally found the one and closed on October 24th. We have been busy painting and making it our own. Caitlyn is loving her new school and is very happy with her new (large!) room. This is our first time owning a single family home and are so thrilled to be here!

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! Lately, I've enjoyed learning other people's stories through reading their blogs, so I decided to start one of my own. Our life isn't exactly exciting, but some days are interesting! This blog is for Eric and I, but I'm sure I'll be doing most of the sharing. Thanks for visiting and check back often!
