There are some things I have really enjoyed since I’ve entered the blogworld. One such thing, is making my monthly lists. But over the past few weeks, I’ve also noticed that bloggers review their year. So I’ve been excited to join in and do the same.
{January}
We rang in the new year with Katrina and Angelo.
Every night we hang out with them is great. But it was the first year since 2009 {our first in Newton} that we didn’t spend NYE with Scott and Sarah. I’m excited to hang out with both couples on Wednesday night. A low key night in with great friends, a few bottles of wine… sounds like heaven, if you ask me.
But back to 2014.
In addition to tons of basketball and David starting grad school, we managed to sneak in a volleyball tournament to watch Kenz and a supper club outing to the local tavern.
These are my favorite people.
And then I turned 27 {and everyone thought David gave me the flowers} and it snowed at the end of the month.
{February}
This was filled with another supper club sesh and a super bowl party supporting Peyton Manning. We still love him even though the Broncos got drilled that night.
A date night, more snow and a Tar Heels trip to Carolina made the month busy!
February also marks the end of basketball season. It’s bittersweet. Goodbye girls and hello life.
Our last game of the season, we came back from an 11 point deficit in under two minutes. And if you’ve ever watched basketball, that’s an accomplishment. If you’ve ever watched JV girls basketball, that’s unheard of.
{March}
On the 29th, David turned 30. I had planned to do 30 days of 30 to celebrate this big occasion him getting old. I didn’t do a very good job planning ahead so it was more like 6 days of 30 but hey… some people only get one day of 30, right?
The icing on the cake was his surprise party. I lied to him for at least a month and then we had so much fun surrounded by his favorite people that evening.
But it wouldn’t be fair to include March without mentioning two epic days…
That time my parents bought wine {those of you who know them know what I’m talking about… epic} and that time we went to watch the State Championship game… and the outcome was the best thing you could ever hope for.
{April}
This month was full of the basketball banquet, prom, Mom’s birthday and spring break.
Since David was finishing up a huge grad school paper, we had a low key affair for the first half of the week and then went to Blowing Rock with Kaitlyn and Andre for the second half of the week.
{May}
David finished his first semester of grad school and we celebrated Brooke’s first birthday.
Obviously, you have to go eat Mexican on Cinco de Mayo {and pay $9 for a margarita… oops!}
Another supper club dinner and we braved the lake for the first time. Our nephews turned 1 and 3 so we celebrated with a double birthday party.
{June}
June means the end of school and the beginning of two weeks in Chapel Hill for basketball camp for David. But before he left, we managed to sneak in a couple of graduations, a pool day, and the completed the wall collage!
While he was working hard, I was busy living the Florida life with my family.
After leaving the beach, I went straight to beach trip number two. Being a teacher is hard work, let me tell ya.
{July}
After two weeks at the beach, I made a shirt to wear on July 4th, helped run basketball camp, we celebrated our anniversary and went to the lake a few more times.
We also went to the beach with Katrina and Angelo and since you know all about that trip, I’ll spare you the details again.
It was also on that trip that I began to move forward with Fashion + Feathers.
{August}
I jetted to Winston for the day to help mom complete her bathroom reno, we checked in with the nephews in Chapel Hill, went to Greenville to see Kenz play for the first time, supper club monthly rendezvous, squeezed in a few more lake days and the blog actually went live.
All this before school started. #Augustisexhausting
{September}
September brought another Greenville trip, the completion of the world’s most frustrating project, tacky day at school, Kaitlyn being featured on the blog along with her spray paint dresser tutorial, and Coppy meeting Peanut!
{October}
Megan came back for another visit {and by that I mean that team greatness was reunited} but somehow there are no pictures of our day trip to Asheville on my phone.
And that’s probably because basketball gears back up in October and my brain turns to mush.
{November}
We invited Megan back to run the 5k with us. And by run, I mean that I did some interval training of walking + running.
{December}
We decorated for Christmas, visited the Biltmore to reminisce when David proposed, made some freaking cool pillows to complement the Christmas decor and coached in our Christmas sweaters. Because we’re cool like that.
There are tons of things I missed in this review because it was from my phone… which has a mind of its own sometimes. But we were so blessed in 2014 and I can’t wait to see what God brings our way in 2015.
And now I see why people do this in multiple posts. Whew.
