The two sisters

The oldest, B, and her husband recently made the move out West from the Carolinas. They are getting accustomed to life in the country and becoming a student once again for the mister. The youngest, A, and her husband made a short move within the Carolinas for the mister to once again, become a student.

When we both found ourselves in similar situations - moving and the misters going back to school - but far apart from one another, we thought a blog would be a great way to still do something together and for family and friends to keep up with us. Follow us as we share our love for cooking, the great outdoors, and home.

Long Time No Blog

Let's not even talk about how long it's been.


Grandma (never tell her I called her that) said it best - this was one of the best Christmases yet. True. We were able to spend time with most of our family - both sides. I am so glad we could make that work. One of the best things about Christmas was W was on break! It was wonderful having a husband again for three weeks. (Thanks for working so hard, W.)

Visitors and Happy 50th!


Right after Christmas, Brit and J came back to the East Coast for 10 days and we got to spend every single day with them. Wish we could do that every month, or every day would be great too. We stayed busy seeing family but had plenty of time to take it easy and hang out. Miss you guys so much!

We headed up to Oak Island for a few days to see mom and dad and celebrate their 50th birthdays! Us kids surprised mom and dad with an evening out on the town in Wilmington.



We spent lots of time in our pajamas, harvesting oysters and mussels from the backyard, eating lots of yummy food, and playing games.



Vegas


I just returned from one of the best vacations. Brit, Dad, and I had work travel scheduled that allowed us to easily meet up in Vegas for a father/daughters vacation. We ate lots of great food, saw awesome shows (Phantom and cirque du soleil mystere), drove past the Hoover Dam, and danced, j-j-just dance. We were enjoying each moment so much that we never remembered our cameras and only got a few pics with Brit's phone.

Clockwise: fountains at Bellagio, amazing view while at Hoover Dam, Hoover Dam (so busy talking that we drove 15 miles past it the first time), clubbin' it with Pop Daddy and Glee*

*The cast of Glee was celebrating a birthday at the bar club we went to. While we remained a few tables away and never met any of them, we were still pretty excited to have a celebrity(ies) sighting.

Thanks, Dad, for an amazing trip. We missed you, Mom!

Hopefully I'll get back in the swing of things and it won't be so long until the next post.

    What a wonderful, busy month you've had. It all looks and sounds like fun!! Yes, even the big wine spill sounds like, in the end, all you could do was laugh. That's a good thing! Don't sweat the small stuff, laugh it off, it's a "material" thing. Missed you all while you were in Vegas. Glad you had so much fun!!! Miss you all terribly now!
