2014 Recap: {Oct, Nov, Dec}

I can't believe that there's only one more day of 2014 after today, but what better time to finish up my last recap post than right before the end?

{October}
-I participated in the Blogtober link-up and discovered a ton of blogs, and met some great new friends through all of the fun post topics! (Hey Biana, Jessi, Emily,...!) 


-Got my Louis lovers!

-Cooper turned 6! My little pup is growing up!

-Tried out some new recipes

-Visited our friends in Minnesota, got to see their adorable little boys, found out they are pregnant again, and got to go to the Vikings game!

-Visited MG's family in NJ and saw his sister's new house (which inspired us to do more work on ours haha)

-Discovered an amazing brunch with penny mimosas in the area and spent 3 hours there with these pretties:

{November}
-Painted our entryway, the ceiling, and the trim, and got new lights throughout, and then got a new carpet runner for the stairs which has MADE the space:

-My bloggy bestie Shay gave birth to her beautiful baby, Nicholas!

-Painted and redecorated the guest room

-Went to some local wineries with a group of friends and had a blast

-Hosted our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple, in our new house!

{December}
-Put up our Christmas lights around the house, our decor inside the house, and our tree with all of the ornaments I got at my bridal shower the year before

-Celebrated MG's birthday up in Philly, and then down here on the actual day

-Took advantage of a ton of Cyber Monday sales, particularly at Loft!

-Watched lots of Christmas movies, sent out our first Christmas cards, wrapped presents, and enjoyed having the Christmas tree lights on to set the holiday mood every night

-Went to friends' holiday parties almost every weekend

-Resolved the be a Better Me and have stuck to all of it!

-MG and I went on our 4th annual pre-Christmas dinner at Old Ebbitt in DC

-Drove up to Philly to celebrate Christmas with MG's family (first Christmas morning that we woke up together in the same place)
still need to recap this but we only got home yesterday!

-Went to NY to meet up with friends and spend the night enjoying the city and good company

-Tomorrow we'll be celebrating the New Year with a group of friends!!

That's it for 2014!! It was quite the memorable year, filled with the excitement of our wedding and buying a house, and being surrounded by the best of friends. Here's hoping 2015 is just as special and memorable! I hope all of you have a wonderful New Year!

  11. Just found your blog, so fun to read! I love stumbling across other newlyweds going through so many of the same things. Also saw you came to Minnesota and watched a Vikes game (my poor husband is a die hard fan, I accepted living in a state with a terrible football team years ago ;-) ) hope our chilly state treated you well!
