Christmas Supper!

Since Landon and I will be with family for Christmas morning and Day, we decided to have our own Christmas supper celebration on Saturday evening.  We had ham with an amazing honey glaze, carrots, garlic butter mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce.
Yes, we are still eating the ham.
It was such a treat to spend a quiet evening at home with a delicious supper, just the two of us and our little bitty tree.
Christmas seems extra special this year.

Piano Bar

We spent a lot of our evenings in the piano bar at the resort.  This was the hot spot for karaoke, piano sing-alongs, and just a fun place to hang out.  It was very classy with great 1950s decor and seating, and  there were pictures lined up along the wall of patrons back in the day when it was the Tower Isle Hotel owned by Abe Issa.  The hotel was a popular spot for the rich and famous such as Walt Disney, Debbie Reynolds, Eva Gabor, Princess Margaret, and Errol Flynn, and we saw their pictures in the piano bar.
I love history, and it was neat to see some of that at our resort.
We tried to take some classy pictures to fit in.

 

vacation!

We had the most amazing time in Jamaica last week!  What a relaxing and free week with Hannah and Jon.  The food was delicious, the weather was great, the ocean was warm, and we could rest and relax any time we wanted.  We also had time to take in Dunn's River Falls, horseback riding, snorkeling, catamaran cruise, karaoke, and some great entertainment.  It was such a great time.  I'll post more pictures soon!

jamaica!

well, we are off to jamaica!  hopefully this is what i'll be doing most afternoons like i did on our honeymoon...

i can't wait for quality time with my hubby and my sister and brother-in-law on the beach and exploring and relaxing.
see you all next week with pictures and stories!!

Love,

Leah

stretch a little

doing all these illustrations for friends got me in the mood to do ours.
i may have stayed up too late working on this, but i just can't pull away from the computer sometimes.  i'll be posting some illustrations i have done for friends soon!

i had a free personal training session today at the gym we joined and i am sore!  i did not know my leg could be stretched as far as the trainer did...i tried to convince him i was done, but he said i could stretch more.  but it was fun to do a personal training session and find out some cool ways to work out.
hope you are all having a fun and amazing Thursday!  the day is beautiful here with the sun shining and it's not too cold.  i'm so happy today!  it i have time later, i might make some hot tea and read for awhile.

love,

leah

Christmastime is Here...

well it's Christmas time at our apartment!  we got our little tree last night....it was so tiny we just put it in our trunk to bring home.  we put on some good tunes and decorated, sang, danced, and drank peppermint hot chocolate.  even thought we won't be here for Christmas morning, we still wanted to decorate things up.  i think we might have a little Christmas dinner by ourselves sometime before we go home for the holidays.

we have so much to be thankful for this year.  Landon is working at a job he likes and it's close to our home so we can spend evenings together.  i have a good job as a nanny, and i just accepted a job with Imagination Photography doing editing work that will start in the spring. i am SO excited.
i am also, with Landon's help, getting prepped to launch my Etsy shop soon.
we have our little home, we are in love,  and God is good.  i can't wait to celebrate Christmas!
