rock city lights

So one of the things I wanted to do when I was home was go to Rock City and see the Christmas lights. And Emily’s family goes every year, so I asked if I could tag along, and my sister wanted to tag along as well. So here are pictures…

Syd, Kynlee and Me

Kynlee insisted on walking, she was so cute :)

Emily and Me – she’s my bestie

Syd and Me, she’s going to be 12 in Feb, and I just can’t get over how grown up she looks…

This picture is a lot nicer than some of the ones I have with her from my last visit, she was not a fan of me in March, but this trip, she adored me, melted my heart….I miss that girl

They really should put a step behind there for that top slot, LOL

Vacay, thus far

I have an album on facebook called “Christmas in Dixie” – thought that was fitting since I’m in the south ;)

Here are some things I’ve done so far!

Dinner at the Atlanta Country Club with my Grandfather and Aunt and Uncle.

Decorating the tree with my brother and sister

I’ve eaten at Chick-Fil-A twice so far, and I’ve spent lots of time with Kynlee!

Baby sitting Kynlee, going to make cookies later!

Decorating the tree with Emily’s family, it was quite eventful, the tree fell on Becky, her sister!

Also got to spend some time with the LT’s family, this is his little cousin!

Going home

So, I’m waiting for my ex-neighbor, and very good friend, to get here to take me to the airport for a red eye. I’ll land Wednesday evening! I’m sad to be going home without the LT, but I’m looking forward to seeing family and friends.
I can’t wait to spend time with my best friend, Em, it is going to be like old times, spending the night and just chilling. I cannot wait! I have truly missed her. Her husband was deployed a few years ago, and we practically lived together while he was gone, and I hate that I didn’t have her here with me during the LT’s deployment.
I’m going to be traveling a lot when I’m on the mainland, going from place to place, it will be busy, but should be good. I’m hoping so anyways!
Luckily before I leave, maintenance was able to come and install vertical blinds, we’ve lived in this house for 2 years now, and I tried to do this about a year ago, and they wouldn’t do it. So I had a friend help me clean the house, and I figured since the house was clean, I’d try again, and they agreed. I was really okay with the fact that I might not get them installed until after I got back, but they were able to fit me in today. And the guy came in the AM, instead of between noon-six. I’m glad I woke up when I did, because I was planning on going back to bed, and my alarm went off while he was here.
So here is the finished project, and my wonderful pink tree :)

I also had them install those horizontal bambo-ish blinds, that my ex-neighbor, and very good friend, gave us, on our back screened Lanai (porch), and when my friend helped me clean, we moved our dining room table out there, so now our dining room is outside, it looks good, except the table has some stuff on it. Really need to work on that…I am also wanting to put some twinkle lights out there. Maybe some white ones, and put them on those beams, or just around, not too sure.

So, that’s about it, I’ll update when I’m home some. I’m sure.

Christmas Vacay

I’m leaving Hawaii and coming to Ga/Tn next week, will be there until the end of Dec. I’m super duper excited. I can’t wait to see friends and family. I hate that the Lt won’t be able to join me, but soon he’ll be home, soon!!!

I am going to have to work on Christmas cards soon. So if you want one, email me :) I’ll put this out on FB too so, I have most of the family’s addresses, but if you want one and are a friend, let me know.
