Slacker = Me

So I have been slacking big time on blogging, this cold rainy weather we have been experiencing the past few weeks has been of no help! All I want to do when I come home from work is eat dinner then find my spot on the couch. So blogging has taken a back seat while I veg out!

The Christmas season is upon us and it's my favorite time of the year! We already have all our decorations up around the house and Christmas lights set up outside. I have watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation twice and have completed most of my Christmas shopping! This weekend the Shinaberry household will be picking out our first real Christmas Tree, after last years disaster with Puma (and $1100 later) we will be sticking with the real thing here on out at Christmas. I'm looking forward to the real deal, when I was younger we always had a real tree and the smell was amazing.

And lastly, my official countdown to our Mexican Holiday has began! Only 24 days till I will be sitting on the beach in the nice warm sun :)

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Happy Anniversary to Cam & Me! We celebrated our first anniversary this past Sunday by just hanging out at the house watching our Ravens. Our gift to each is our trip to NYC in 2 weeks! I can't wait to just walk around the city & spend the weekend with my wonderful husband! Update on this weekend will come soon!

Off to Blackburg we go....

Today we will be leaving around lunch time on our long journey to Blacksburg,VA. This is one of Cam's favorite places in the world! This year will be different from previous years we will actually be tailgating before the game in the parking lot instead of at TOTS! I'm excited to be able to be there with a great group of people that will be sure to make our VT visit tons of fun! Go Hokies!

Yes! Now that's a Fireplace!

So when we first moved into our house we were confronted with a very unusual fireplace. It extended out into our family room and was covered in drywall. To say the least it left much to be desired so we did some research and decided to go with Stone. I love how it turned out and can't wait to see the finished look with Cam's new LED 55inch TV (yes, i caved in) mounted nicely on the wall this Friday! Here are some shots of the our new fireplace!

Oh how we love them...

One of the great joys of Saturday & Sunday mornings are when we are able to be at our home just hanging out with our two little fur balls Puma & Roxy. They love to lay/roll in the sun and around 9am the sun seems to hit just perfectly into our family room & kitchen. Here are some pictures of them enjoying every second of it!

Better Late then Never!

Happy Birthday to Cameron! He celebrated his 29th Birthday on Sept. 14th which was last Monday. However the day before we had our first Raven's home game of the year which we made sure at our tailgate to make the birthday boy feel special! I even baked a specially requested funfetti cake for Cam! <3

Celebrating soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Spruell!

This past Saturday we all got together to celebrate the engagement of two great people Hillary & Lee! The Spruells! Thankfully the rain held out for a few hours so we all could enjoy some beers, burgers, cornhole and tons of food! I'm so excited for there future nuptials in Mexico next year! Here are a few pictures of the love birds <3.

Few of the girls...
