Santa Clause is coming to town!

December has gone by so quickly. There are so many fun things going on, and I can't believe it is Christmas week!  To catch everyone up.... Ryan and I have had a great month.  We went to Berns Steakhouse (a famous restaurant to those in and out of Tampa) to celebrate our Six Month Wedding Anniversary! Everyone has raved about the restaurant and they were totally right.  We had such a yummy meal and it was just a fabulous night.  They have a dessert room upstairs so after our great dinner we took a tour of the wine cellar and then headed up to the dessert room.  The dessert room is a 50's theme with each booth being in what is kind of like an old telephone booth.  Of course dessert was delicious.  We were there for almost 4 hours! We both had our work holiday parties that weekend as well, and both were so fun.  We are very furtunate to both have great co-workers that we enjoy being with. We ended the weekend by decorating our first married Christmas Tree, and it turned out beautiful. It was fun to do together! This past weekend we celebrated a good friend's birthday and caught up with some friends.  We also went to Oviedo to see Ryan's family before the holidays.  We always enjoy seeing the kids.  They are growing up sooo fast.  I guess the biggest news we have is that we FOUND A HOUSE! We are so excited to announce that we found a house in a beautiful South Tampa neighborhood in walking distance to the Tampa Bay.  We will be moving in late January, just in time for Gasparilla!! We are so fortunate and have so much to be thankful for this Christmas.  We are looking forward to being in North Carolina on Thursday!  Hope you all have safe travels and Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope you enjoy your time with your family and friends.  Look for updates after Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!

Oh December

You can tell we are staying busy, because I can't seem to even update our blog each week. I am working on being better.  We really enjoyed being home for Thanksgiving and getting to see that awesome WOLFPACK football game!! It felt good to be back in Raleigh even for the day.  Ever since getting back from North Carolina, life has been crazy for us.  Ryan has been in D.C., back for two days, then gone to Texas for a week.  Thank goodness no more traveling for a while for work.  I have missed my husband, and so has Morgan Dog. I have been satying busy with work, but still really loving it. Going to work everyday gives me pride and I feel so blessed to have such a great job, assistant, and co-workers.  Everyone has been so welcoming, and I am definitely gaining a backbone with dealing with many relays. Last weekend I helped host Cocktails For A Clause, an event put on by some of us Junior League ladies to get toys for kids who are in need of a Merry Christmas.  It was a great success, and a fun time being with friends! Ryan and I recently celebrated our Six Month Wedding Anniversary! We have been so busy that we haven't been able to celebrate yet, so tomorrow night we are going out to a romatic dinner. YAY!  I am excited for my work Christmas party tomorrow afternoon. Ryan's work party is Saturday night, and that should be a fun time too.  Between celebrating, parties, and decorating for Christmas, it is going to be a fabulous weekend! Stay tuned! :)
