Thanksgiving 2010!

The Holidays are coming! Daniel and I had the opportunity to have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house this year, since we are both working THanksgiving day. So on Wednesday, we drove up to my parents house, and had the feast of our lives. Daniel even made the sweet potato casserole for us, that turned out real well! There was so much food, that after everyone had ate, we could all have seconds! It was great! Here are a few pictures! Maybe next year, we will be able to have work-free holidays! Lets hope :)

September Camping trip and Halloween!

Daniel and I took a small vacation for a weekend and went camping in the mountains. We took a tent and camped up in Hanging Rock. It was super cold that night, but we had fun! For Halloween, we were able to carve some pumpkins at least this year even though I had to work. We didnt really celebrate or dress up. Maybe we are getting too old or maybe its because we dont have kids yet? Who knows. Here a some pictures! Enjoy!

Birthday!

I had a birthday, shout hooray! You want to sing to me today! One year older and wiser too! Happy birthday to me! Yes, I turned 27 this year! Last year, I worked on my birthday and it was no fun, so this year, I took the day off! It was great! I had the best day! Slept in, daniel made me breakfast, and let me open some gifts all before he had to leave for work that day. I love music and games, so I asked for an IPOD touch for my birthday. My wonderful husband went out and bought me one! He made me hunt for it though. Also, since Daniel had to work, his mom, aunt Jill, and both of his grandmothers Norma Tiek and Judy Rogers came to Greenville and took me out for lunch to my favorite place Olive Garden, and then shopping at Kohls! I officially love birthdays! Here are some pics from the special day!

2010 WVB Reunion!

Recently, I attended a family reunion in Utah for my dad's side of my family. We decided to "go back to our roots," which was camping at 12 Mile Flat campground in the mountains of Utah near Fayette. The last time we had gone camping here was when I was one year old and according to my parents and my siblings, I fell hands first into a smoldering fire pit, buring my hands pretty bad. Well, this type of thing didnt happen this year, but a child did get hurt. My poor nephew of only 2 years, was hit right on his nose by a homemade swing, a 2 by 4 piece of wood. Oh yes, of course as all family gatherings go, most of got sick as well. We discovered halfway through the camping experience, that the water there was unsafe to drink, so most of us got the runs as well as puking. Overall it was a good trip. The best part was seeing my cousins, and my family that lives in Utah, who I dont see on a regular basis. Here a few pictures!

Visiting Family at the Beach!

Daniel and I took a much needed visit and trip to see Dan's sister and her family in Florida this past week. We kayaked, swam in the gulf, ate real seafood and most importantly spent time with Megan, Steve and the kids. It was nice and so beautiful! Here are a few pics! Thanks to the Palmers for letting us come!

Spring Break!

Daniel and I decided to take a break from school and work this week. We wanted to see the Biltmore Mansion, so this week we bought tickets online, and rented a hotel room for one night. Thursday morning, we started the five hour drive and got there in time for a nice dinner in downtown Asheville. We enjoyed downtown Asheville, but the dinner not so much. After getting some sleep and a good breakfast, the next morning, we made our way to the Biltmore House. We already had our tickets printed, and had shown them to the people at the gate, so when we got on the bus to the house, we didnt realized that we still needed them. So after stopping at the bathroom first, then going back to get our tickets, we finally made it to the house for the tour. It was so fun! We paid the extra ten dollars for the audio tour, and it was so worth it! After the two hour tour, we walked through the gardens, and took pictures. The weather was wonderful, still a little windy but sunny skies all day long. So grateful for days off! It was needed!

Daniel's Birthday

Daniel had a birthday in February! He turned the big 27! We celebrated with both parents! My parents came down and took us out to eat at McAllisters Deli for lunch the day before and then for dinner on Daniel's birthday, his parents ordered us a nice dinner at Outback! It was a great treat from both! We also ordered a special cake for Daniel's birthday from Cold Stone! Daniel says it was the best birthday even though he was sick! Happy 27th Babe!
