Lazy Lola...

We think Lola is making a very smooth transition from the apartment to our new house. She fills her days with laying on the top of the chair looking out to the road and sleeping. Below are two photos of her relaxing...
You don't think she is spoiled do you? Nah....

We love cookies! (My cousin Lawren, me and my cousin Banks)Thier dog, Puddles, enjoyed the left overs from the dishwasher...haha!

The Appliances and Plumbing Are Almost In...

Last night we went by the house to see what had been done and the plumber was still there putting in the toilets so we are moving right along. They put in all the faucets and started putting in the appliances yesterday. Below you can see the microwave is in and the dishwasher is about ready to go in...it is laying on the ground as you can see.

SEVEN Christmas!

This past Saturday and Sunday, I got to see all my best friends from college for the annual SEVEN Christmas Party and Secret Santa. It was absolutely amazing seeing everyone and being able to spend some time with each other. It is crazy how times flies but so wonderful how we have all stayed so close since we graduated college nearly three years ago. Below are some photos from the night...(more to come!)

My bestest and I...this is one of my all time favorite pictures of us together! (and we were even on the "wrong" side...ha ha)
Here I am saying hello to Miss Caroline...:) Isn't my big so pretty pregnant?

Carter and I on the way to din din...yay for seeing her again in only two weeks in good ole' Huntersville! :)

The group all together before we started eating...aren't we purdy?

Such a fun weekend with a never ending barrel of surprises...from the laughs at dinner to chasing down Byrd's puppy Layla..we can always count on having fun, laughing till we cry and most of all...each other! Love you ladies!

The Sinks and Bathroom Countertops Are In...the Porch is Screened IN

We can hardly believe we are closing a week from today...it is so exciting. We started packing all our stuff yesterday and got soo much accomplished! Below are some photos we took Sunday afternoon of the house...enjoy!

The guest bathroom sink/counter top...they have to come back and paint the drawer.

Master bath with the sinks/counter tops on...ahhh it is going to be so nice to have so much room!

I don't know if you can tell by the photo but the porch is completely screened in now and has the door up. Excuse me...I meant to say the "Man Porch" is completely screened in...wink wink!

Next time this week we will be closing...wow how time flies!
