Shenanigans

I hope everyone is staying warm this morning. I'm pretty sure this is too cold for November, but at least there is no snow! The cold weather couldn't damper my awesome weekend! Hoping everyone had fantastic weekends as well.

Friday evening was spent at the Norfolk Admirals game with my lovely god daughter. She's 3 and has been wanting to go to a game with me, so I finally took her to her first hockey game! I absolutely loved spending time with her, and taking her to do something I absolutely love. She had a blast and even got a puck from one of the player's during warm-ups, what a lucky girl. Even though she fell asleep half way through the game, I was happy to sit there and cuddle her as she slept. It really meant a lot to me to get to take her to her first game, so thank you Jordan and Faith for letting me take her!

Saturday I spent most of the day with my Mom. We decided to go shopping, and I spent entirely too much..... on the dog. I think other than for some Christmas presents for my god babies... I spent all my money on the dog. He's unbelievably spoiled, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I would really hate to see how I spoil my children, when I decide to have them. I can't even find a man though, so that will be a while! The rest of the night was spent at the hockey game, even though they ended up losing!

Sunday was spent cleaning up the house, spending time with my parents, and having Thanksgiving dinner with my friends and god babies! Faith and Jordan were ever so nice enough to invite me over for a delicious dinner, since I wouldn't be here for Thanksgiving. I love them, they always treat me right. 

I'm excited for the short work week! I have to work today, then it's off to class as usual. Tomorrow I'm headed down to the beach house to help my mother clean up and get the house right for the Holiday weekend. Wednesday it's back to work and school! Wednesday night I'm going to head to the Admirals game then straight down to the beach house. Then it's relaxation time with the family. 

I was looking at the Black Friday ads and I was pretty bummed to see that most of them start on Thanksgiving now. Guess we will go hit some up on Thanksgiving, then head home for a little bit of sleep before then next ones start up on Black Friday. I've already started pin pointing what I want. Is there anything you are looking for this Holiday season? Do you ever go Black Friday shopping!?

Hoping to have a nice blog post for you after the Holidays!? Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Virginia Comfort

It's been a long time coming, but I can officially say that our family is now the proud owner's of the "Virginia Comfort". That would be our beach house down in the Outer Banks. Every house has their own name, and I'm pretty sure that's what we've decided on. Today is finally Closing Day!

My family and I have always gone down to the Outer Banks every summer since I was a kid, without fail. We always stayed in my Great Aunt's house down at the 4.5 mile post. This year we saw that the house beside hers was for sale. That immediately sparked our interest, and we began taking a look at it and putting in an offer.  That deal fell through because the people wanted far more than we were willing to pay, seeing as how it needed a lot of work done structurally. My Mom was determined at that point that we were going to get a beach house, so we started looking up other properties online. We have had an amazing Realtor who has definitely steered us through some not so great properties, to the one we are closing on today. I couldn't be happier with the one we chose and get to call ours! It's perfect size for us with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. It has a really big screened in porch on the front of the house, where I can see us spending a many of nights out there. Above the screened in porch, we also have a sun deck... how freaking cool! I don't have too many pictures of the house yet, but I will be sure to get some next week while we are there for Thanksgiving.

Until then, here is "Virginia Comfort".

Finally got the keys! 

She is no longer "Star of the Sea".
And that ugly management sign is getting taken down!

The beach right across the street from our house!

The first of many times relaxing in the ocean down there at the new place!

Oh, and by the way, she is available to rent out! So if you need some relaxation time, or a nice get away with the family, or just some time at the beach... ask for pricing and availability! You just can't take my Thanksgiving away from me this year! :) 

Just Another Week

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! After having such a great weekend I'm ready to take this week on head on. Friday night was the usual kickball night, though we lost. Instead of going out afterwards, I decided to go snuggle up with the dog and watch some hockey. Trust me, Jonas was happy with my decision. Yes, I'm that loser that sits home on a Friday night and watches hockey! After realizing that Cox is showing NHL Center Ice for free til the 19th, I've done nothing but watch games. Might as well take advantage of it while I can right!? I hoping that I can get Center Ice as a birthday present this year. Either from myself or my parents. HINT HINT MOM AND DAD! :) 

Saturday we headed back down to Nags Head. Mom and I relaxed on the beach for a while. The weather was so incredibly nice down there! I even got in the water.. and it felt amazing. Saturday evening was the Norfolk Admirals season opener in Hartford. The team has a lot of new faces on it this year, so I decided to stream the game online! I'm liking what I'm seeing with the new team for sure! They ended up winning in a shootout! 

Sunday afternoon my family and me went to Chesapeake City Park for Bark in the Park! Though it was a bit too hot, we had a great time! Jonas rode is my mom's dog stroller the whole time since he isn't too fond of other dogs. :) After that was over, I went to watch the football game with a couple friends. Luckily the Eagles pulled out the win. 

This week is suppose to be pretty yucky, so I don't have much planned for this week other than school and homework. I'm pretty proud of myself, as I have A's in all 3 of my classes!  I do have an exam in accounting tonight so I definitely need to do a bit more studying for that here in a bit. I'm just ready for the weekend! Well I need to go do some actual work today and do some studying! I'll catch up with y'all later!

Hey everyone... Hope you've had your coffee this morning and are ready to take on this week head on. This weekend was pretty awesome for me, so I hope yours was fantastic as well! I needed a weekend like this for sure.

Friday night was the usual kickball. We had a double header this week. The first game didn't quite go as everyone had wished, but we came from behind to tie the game. Unfortunately there is no over time in regular season... so if you tie, it's just a tie. I'll take a tie over losing any day!  Luckily we all got our heads in the game and won the second game 6-0! SchweatyBallz!!

Saturday was absolutely phenomenal. My parents and I headed down to the OBX to look at a beach house. My family goes down to the beach every year for vacation and we figured why not invest in a little piece of the beach ourselves. After taking a tour of the house, we were heading back home when we saw a sign that said, "A Vintage Frame of Mind". There were a bunch of vendors set up at the Grave Digger site selling anything vintage/shabby chic. I really wish I had a lot of extra money on me... I would have done a whole home remodel with the stuff they were selling! Don't worry though, I took tons of pictures for you!

Saturday night was the Norfolk Admirals exhibition game. But that deserves a whole post to itself, seriously. Be sure to check back tomorrow for my post about the game. Ladies, you won't want to miss it! :)

As stated earlier, I took a lot of pictures at the flea market thing Saturday... So here they are!
