our first christmas tree!

Last Saturday, Miles and I went to the local market to get our first Christmas tree. The weather wasn't ideal (cold and rainy) but it was still memorable. :)

After recently discovering and becoming obsessed with pintrest, I found a cute DIY burlap tree skirt I wanted to make. See it here Ruffled Skirt. Well, after nearly an hour and a half of cutting and glueing, I had only made one row.

Yikes, the whole skirt would have taken the whole day. I settled with just one row of the pretty ruffled burlap. Maybe I will have more spare time next year and finish it.

Nothing is better than coming home seeing it all lit up and having the strong scent of pine in our home. :) 

10.8.11

When we were looking at our wedding venue they had two dates available, 9-10-11 and 10-8-11. Miles was all for 9-10-11, since it would be a month sooner and the date was fun and unique but I had always dreamed of a fall wedding. I took the risk of colder weather in hopes that we would have beautiful fall colors. Little did I know that on October 8th we would have 80 degree weather and the fall leaves would be in their peak. The day was absolutely perfect ...we were so blessed. It's still setting in that I am a wife to such an incredible man and that my love for him continues to grow with each day. :) Here is a small glimpse of our day. Thanks to Jennifer Grace Photography for these breath taking pictures.

Well, I finally decided to make a blog. Not sure how this will go but I thought I would give it a try!  We'll see :)
