A Look Back at 2018

Hi friends,

It’s hard to believe that another year has flown by! They really do seem to go by faster and faster!

This past year for us seemed to have been consumed with a major remodel in our home – kitchen, living area, and one of our bathrooms. Lots of planning, noise, and dust…but so worth it in the end! It was something we have wanted to do for a long time and finally found an amazing contractor to do the job for us. (If you’re local, I highly recommend Gothart Homes and Renovations.) Here are a few before and after pics.

In August, my nephew and his bride had their dream wedding at Disney World…

After their wedding, we flew down to Key West. Let me just say…Key West in August is hot!!! ☀️☀️☀️

In early December, we made a quick visit to Biltmore Estate to tour the “house” (that’s what they called it – quite the estate!) while she was decked out in all her Christmas finery! Absolutely gorgeous!!

Just a few highlights of our year…of course it was also filled with cleaning, errands, and laundry as well as crafting and creating. I can’t wait to see what 2019 brings!
