So Long Pine Ridge!

I gave my thoughts on moving and leaving Boone in this post but I wanted to document my move-out day. 

On Saturday, December 27th my family drove up to Boone with me to completely move me out of my last Boone apartment. This was by far the nicest apartment I lived in during college and it was SO cozy and homey. It was truly the perfect place to live during graduate school. I will miss you 304!!




Yes, I wore my Boone shirt because, duh ;)



One last drive down those beautiful mountains! <3 Until next time Boone...

The Great-Long Christmas Post of 2014

Christmas week was full of family, fun, and more traveling!

 Is that not the coziest scene ever?

Padme thought she was Queen of Christmas 

Kendall always comes up with tricky ways to hide presents and make opening presents fun. This year, instead of stockings we had all of our stocking stuffers wrapped in yarn. It was quite entertaining to unravel it all. When Will and Leah arrived Leah asked me if I was knitting ha ha


thats nail polish in there!



All of that was wrapped up in yarn! 

& the only other picture I took was of the "cardboard box" Kevin got for his cats. Its like a little maze that the cats must paw at to move their treats around to push them outside to eat. It was funny seeing Jethro give it a try.

Will and Leah brought Nala over so we had quite the dog show-down. Chapman thinks he's human and acts crazy around other dogs ha ha





We had a yummy breakfast and then opened gifts!



We then got ready and headed to Salemburg for a Royal Christmas!

{Christmas evening in Salemburg}


Faith and I drove separately since I was the last in the shower & mom had to get there early to cook her casseroles. We got to the family life center just in time to greet the fam and say prayers before our big meal. The night can be summed up with a bunch of random candid pictures of my little cousins playing and my sisters and I acting crazy. We ended the night by hanging out at Grandaddy's with my mom's brother, sisters, and a few of my older cousins. The traveling may seem like a lot but I'm so glad we all still get together, even if it's just for a few hours. I love seeing all my cousins and how our family grows each year! 








It was so funny and cute to see Grandaddy sweeping up as my uncles were folding up the tables and chairs. 











I traveled back home Friday morning and Christmas week ended by moving out of my apartment. Christmas flew by this year and I can't believe how fast it came and went. It was a good one though, and my last Christmas as a single lady! :)

A Very, Merry Parker Christmas

 Finally getting around to my Christmas updates!

I'll let the pictures do the talking :) We always have a great time during Parker Christmas weekend. We arrived on Friday and just hung out and watched movies. Saturday consisted of more hanging out and then we had a delicious meal and it was present time! I'm so, so spoiled blessed by my family. I love these people!
