The New Year rang in with a great group of friends. Unfortunately I was lucky enough to start off the year with sick, so this post is a day late, and while I still sound like a dying mule right now I get myself together enough to get this post out for you.

Chuck and I finally put in the effort clean up our yard. Since we moved in we have had a ton of junk just hanging out in our side yard and it was not a good look. Now all that stuff is safely stored in the basement or garage, which also got a cleaning out so that I can finally park in there! I’m so excited to not have to scrape my car every damn day.

We also made some big improvements to the house, and man is it really starting to feel like home! More on that soon.

Since this was the first Christmas in our new home as a married couple I actually put a little effort into decorating this year, though it was kind of a struggle (decorating just isn’t my thing). I think our efforts were well received.

We hosted back to back holiday parties, and wow was that a tiring weekend, but so, so fun.

It finally snowed! I’m pretty sure the north east broke some records for the unusually warm weather we had this December, but the snow finally hit before the new year, and I’m so glad that it did! I love winter!

I’m looking forward to the New Year and all it has to offer.
