Resolutions

One of my new year's resolutions is to save more money and really test myself on the difference between needs and wants. I'm at Stephanie's house and we have had a great time chatting...and cruise planning (need!) and looking up fun ways to tell people fun news. No news to share, just mental notes for the future.

I also plan to start blogging more this year. Time goes by so fast these days it's hard to keep track of all the wonderful memories!

Happy Birthday To Me

We painted the night away at Paint Party Studios. The paint party was so much fun! Thank you everyone for coming making my 27th birthday the best one yet. I had a great time :)

Suzanne and Jessica

Carissa, me and Leigh

Star and Jeremy

Me and my sister Amy

Me and Michael

Dexter

Michael and I finished all of season five of Dexter last night. I miss it already! Netflix can really spoil you by letting you watch episode after episode. Maybe we shouldn't have cracked out on it by watching an entire season in one day. Hurry up season six!

Merry Christmas

It was a merry Nikon Christmas in the Wilkins/Williams household today. Michael's mom, sister and I all got Nikon D5000 DSLR cameras! Well, I've had mine for about a week now. Michael got it for me and I think he was a bit too excited to wait for Christmas for me to have it. I'm already thinking of fantastic places to travel for some great photography. Hopefully a Yellowstone trip is in my near future :)



Michael's s family came to stay with us for Christmas. We had a great time hosting the holidays.

I can see a many of plants, potting soil and mulch bringing brought home on the new cargo carrier this spring. Spring, can't wait for spring!

Toby and Lilly LOVE to open presents. Hopefully they can teach Penny and Holly soon.

Bear Creek

Bear Creek was a ton of fun last weekend, and not to mention cold at night. Michael, Jeremy, Star, Patrick, Sam and I enjoyed some good food, good music and good day time weather.

Home sweet home

Live Oak, Floria was definitely named for its beautiful trees

Counter tops, hardwood floors and backspash - OH MY!

Home renovations are officially underway. The counter tops are put in, boy was it nice to watch someone do the labor for us for once. I love them! For the floors we went with 5-inch Brazilian walnut planks and they are to die for. Goodbye carpet!

Oasis of the Seas

The biggest, newest cruise ship in the world, Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, was absolutely amazing! For my first cruise, I couldn't have asked for a better time with a better friend! Stephanie and I had the best time. Labadee (Haiti) Cozumel and Costa Maya were amazing! I can't wait to go on another and eat, eat and eat. I shall start planning now. Until next time!
