I hope you’re all enjoying a little R&R, quality family time, and yummy food! I’m about to being baking my moms famous four-layer chocolate pie…. yes, be jealous! Here’s a little of our holiday around the Horton house….. Our new monogram on our front door (I totally plan to leave this up year round!) from Southern Nest. I love that she’s a local etsy vendor! These are some of my favorite ornaments…. They’re both from Poppies and they are personalized with our names & years on the back. I got the Rockettes ornament at Radio City on opening night 3 years ago, I’m dying to return! The one on the right is from our dear friends Matt & Aeriel, I love it! Some of Jeremy’s favorites 🙂 We’re big fans of Larry’s Beans, and this year they came out with a Holiday Blend, of course we had to try it! We also love that they’re local, roasted right in Raleigh. ….. and finally, this year’s holiday card….. This is self timer action at it’s best…. place camera on back of convertible, push shutter, run, put hand in pocket & try to look like you didn’t just run back across the street in high heels 🙂 I’ve been lucky to have lots of vacation days left to burn. I’ve had all week off, and have the entire next week off, hallelujah! Too bad, i’ve been working hard during this “vacation”….. the office is finally getting a makeover! Flooring is what’s currently on the agenda and I cannot wait till Monday when Jeremy installs it! I’ve been busy this week pulling up nasty, commercial carpet. Here’s what the office looked like today when I left (via iPhone).

Back in November I packed my bags & headed for Tulsa, Oklahoma. My day job hosts an annual convention each November, and this time the midwest region was the host. The week is normally uneventful, I’m stuck breathing recycled hotel air & eating hotel food. My coworkers & I try and find a car to get us out, this year was no different. We made stops at Braum’s, the River Spirit Casino and a few other local places. I didn’t take many photos, but here’s a few I did. I few back to NC extremely early, and got to see the sunrise from the air… Next November we’ll be in Boise, Idaho….. I’m keeping my fingers crossed to see a Boise State game! ** All shot on the Nikon F5 with Portra 400

Remember when we traveled to DC during October? Well, we shot a little film there too 🙂 Jeremy’s birthday was that weekend, so we had to make a special pit-stop at his favorite pizza joint, 2 Amy’s. Taken on the Minolta Maxxum We took a few of Melissa & Jonathan on the F5 later that night…. I love these 🙂
