CHRISTMAS IN NOVA

Im baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk! ;) Did you all miss me? Everything has been such a whirlwind since we got engaged on December 22nd! Sooooo much has been going on! With Christmas & New Years on top of catching up at work & searching for wedding venues (HOLY EXCITING) I haven’t had much time to blog. Now that I have organized things & have gotten back on track I should be good to go from here on out! Have fun checking out what we have been up to over the past few weeks! HAPPY 2009!!!

CHRISTMAS:
Location: NOVA...aka Northern Virginia...aka Leesburg, VA to be exact!....As you all know Steve proposed the night before we flew home to VA. The proposal made everything so much more special and exciting while being there! We were able to share our big news & show off my bling to friends & family all week! It was GREAT!!! Ashley (my sister) and my bro in law Louis hosted Christmas @ their townhouse this year since they had lil Madeline. They did such a great job having all of our family & friends over each day & night! We all shared many laughs, gifts, hugs, tears, stories & more!

Do you see your card? ;)
