Hi friends!
It has been a while since I have posted. This holiday season seems as if it has been one of my busiest! I've gotten to enjoy friends, family, get togethers and outings...it's been a great time!
I hope your Christmas was as great as mine was. We got to spend time with my mother in law and father in law and our beautiful niece and nephew who we don't get to see enough because everyone is so darn busy! We also loved seeing other family members as well and slowing down for a minute to be together and enjoy each other. On Christmas day we went over to my brother and sister in law's house for dinner and our friends came out as well so it was a really nice day.
Now, let's talk about the new year for a minute! I'm terribly excited for this year to come to a close because 2014 is going to be even more amazing than I could ever imagine in all aspects of my life. I look forward to all of God's promises being fulfilled this year and working towards my goals! I hope all of you are excited as I am! Happy (early) New Year!
Be safe, be well, have fun and be happy! It's almost 2014!
Goodnight!

Home from vacation in time for Christmas!
Hi everyone!!! Merry almost Christmas!
I feel like I haven't posted in a long time, but for good reason! It has been a busy past couple of weeks.
4 days ago we got home from South Carolina. It's always so beautiful up there, if you'd like to see a few landscape pictures that I took while we were out and about, check out the ABP FB page here .We went up to visit family and had a really good time. I always love to visit my family, but my favorite time of year to visit is at Christmas for many reasons. One of my favorite reasons to go to SC in December is...
HOLLYWILD ZOO! I tried to make that sound more exciting than it probably is, I hope it worked.
So here's what it is; you go to the zoo and you drive throughout the entire place where there are thousands of Christmas lights put up (which must be a really sucky job) and then you drive into this field where there are really really large cows, deer, zebra donkey hybrid things, goats and whatever else and they come up to your car and you can feed them. See below for a picture of a rather large cow hijacking someones car:
And here are the rest from our 2013 Hollywild December trip-
But not this one, this one was taken at Costco, because that's a popular place to take selfies now. Totally makes sense.
And back to the zoo! Here's one of me feeding the baby goat! So cute!
So yea, we had a good time! For the past 2 or 3 years, we have gone up there in December to see family and go to the zoo, so now it's becoming a tradition which is really cool because it just sort of happened that way.
What else did we do while we were there? Well Bryan hung out with my Uncle Dave and they went to the range and stuff. He also got a new gun. Hooray. I can't complain though, I did a little shopping myself with my granny. We also got to take a few pictures of us. We don't look spectacular, considering we had just woken up and there was no coffee yet, but it was still fun. My Aunt Kris used the automatic setting on my camera, I stole the neighbors dog and we got a couple of good shots! No, I'm not kidding. I did steal the neighbors dog, but I returned it.

Alright, I know...the lights in the middle are out, buuuut I did get a discount because I took the display model. We can fix the lights in the middle, no biggie.
So that's that. Now, we panic and hurry to finish the Christmas shopping, wrap the gifts and wait patiently for Santa.
Btw...ABP is on Groupon!!! Check it out:

Cool right? Well, kind of scary the first time around, but after that you realize they just want to slobber on you and eat some crackers and stale bread. The next picture is of me trying to kiss some type of llama/alpaca..but he wasn't having it.

The day that we got home we went and got a tree, because I was nagging Bryan about it and I couldn't wait any longer. We were going to get a live tree, but then we thought it might be easier to just get a fake one and not have to bother with it again next year, so we headed to Lowe's and picked out this guy:

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy 1st annual ornament/cookie decorating...whatever.
Well.
I'm tired.
But Thanksgiving was so good! The day before Thanksgiving Jasmine and I decided to shop until we were dying of hunger (we seriously ate fried chicken from a grocery store in my car) and then we went back to my house to clean.
I know, you're still processing the fried chicken car thing. I'll give you a moment to take it in.
...............
Alright, we're good now.
On Thursday we had our family over to our place, we were missing our in laws and my brother and other sis in law, but I think plans were just kind of scattered this year because everyone has been crazy busy. We do plan on going over to their house on/around Christmas for a while so I'm glad we still get to spend some holiday time with them. Anyhow, on Thanksgiving we cooked and cooked and then ate some crazy good food that everyone had prepared. The next day we went over to my brother and sister in law's house and made little ornaments and had some wine and baked cookies. Actually, the only person that actually baked was Candi (Jasmine's mom) but the guys did help a little bit. As promised, I do have a few pictures to show you from both days, so here they are!

Thanksgiving a.m. - Lola and hubs cozy in bed. They were clearly not participating in the cooking festivities.
Hubs with my little brother
Like peas and carrots (in my forrest gump voice)
Lol.
Tearin it up in my kitch.
Okay this was the start of Friday's ornament making night.
I know, a photographer with a blurry shot. It was my cell phone. Don't judge me!
Yep, that was basically Thursday and Friday of last week. It was a great week, and this week is going to be super great too! On Friday we leave to go to SC. Thursday I have a shoot with Alex while she's here and Saturday morning I have a shoot with Candice.
In other small but exciting news, my Groupon deal was finalized yesterday and will be rolling out in about 4 weeks! I'll keep everyone updated. Have a great rest of your week. Talk to you soon!
