The fairy tale continues!

Okay, I am being a little facetious with this blog title, but I have to admit, the past two months really have been great. Ross and I are both enjoying married life and things have been busy so I got a little behind on the blog. These photos have been in my inbox waiting to be posted for a few weeks now!

These pictures were actually taken during the winter break immediately following our wedding. They chronicle the days of writing thank you notes, finding a home for all of our lovely gifts, unpacking and generally settling in! As I upload these pictures and look around now, two months later, I can't believe how different everything looks. We'll take some more pictures this weekend and update the blog, so you can get a true picture of life on Eastern Avenue today!

The past few weeks have brought us time to finish projects and open our home to friends! Our most recent home improvements included painting our bathroom over MLK weekend (I did this one and am quite proud - since we all know painting, and patience, are not my best virtues!) and sanding the basement floor over President's Day weekend. We now also have a full pantry thanks to Ross' hard work and curtains in our bedroom and kitchen - thanks Mom!!

A few weekends ago, we met some neighbors who admitted they were curious to see the inside of our home. Our neighbor, Miss Mary, was eager to give us the run down of the history of our 63 year old home and could not have been more complimentary of the work we've done these past 9 months! Ross and I were just talking about how anxious we are for warmer weather so that we can tackle some of our outside projects and have a true housewarming with all of our dear friends!

After attending manyPampered Chef parties, I was able to open my home to good friends to host one of my own. We laughed and shopped, and ate...what could be better? And this past Saturday, my family, Miss Laurie, Miss Loretta, Jen, and Miss Bonnie all tried our hand at Bunco! More laughing, and eating - shopping replaced by rolling dice...again, what could be better?

Life is good!
