welcoming in 2010!

so, 2010 starts a whole new chapter in our lives. as you know, we have officially moved...but what you may not know is that we have moved to a new town. we now live in beaufort, sc (kind of a mini charleston about 60 miles away)....and we are going to add a new addition to our family in june....a little boy (which has been another reason i have slacked in blogging...thank goodness the first trimester is over)! we are super excited about starting this new chapter and hope y'all will be around to watch it all unfold....have a wonder new years and i'll see you in 2010 :)

*i promise to be back to my old blogging ways next week and if anyone is interested in design services in beaufort or nearby, please email me!

ho ho ho.

SERIOUSLY- 4 days until a chubby little man in a red suit comes down your chimney....are you ready?!!

me? ha- not so much...but who cares, its our first christmas in this house and we are going to make the most of it. usually we are traveling to see my parents and warren's but this year everyone is coming to us...can you hear the excitement in my typing for not having to travel this year?!! which means, i should really be cleaning (not my best forte) instead of typing...but i couldn't resist saying hello!! oh and i have internet again- YIPPEE!! so watch out :)

*Poof*

dear fairy godmother,

please magically come and unpack all of my boxes, explain to my poor readers- if i have any left- why i have been gone so long (not having access to the internet is a real you-know-what), help taylor realize that she doesn't need to wake up at 4:30 AM to tell me to read her a book, and lastly- make me not envious of this beautifully decorated/ perfection of a house.....oh, and is it too much to ask to throw in that part about: and they all lived happily ever after (i could really use that right about now)??!

thanks bunches-

beautiful pillows.

i am suffering from mad chaos in my house right now...i think it would be nice to sit back and relax and focus on the pretty details like accent pillows....all of these are wonderful examples of how beautiful they can make a room feel...*sigh* my house is so not beautiful anymore....

i am somewhere buried between boxes, newspaper, packing tape, and sharpies....

it's officially time to pack up the last five years of our lives in our first home.....

a picture recap....

so our weekend could not have been anymore fun! taylor is always timid at the beginning of trying new things but by the time she had been to a house or two, she started liking the idea of getting candy. she would say "one piece for me and i need one more for my daddy". what a sweet girl- good thing she likes to share ;) hope your halloween was equally as fun!
