Weekend in Richmond

Last weekend My mother, grandmother, sister and I all headed to Richmond for a girls weekend! Emily had a cheerleading competition downtown on Saturday, and her team placed second! Her team also received a bid to compete in Georgia this spring! Emily, did a great job! I wish I had moves like her!

After the competition we all headed to our beautiful hotel, The Jefferson, to unwind. We spent the weekend looking for wedding gowns, eating good food, and catching up. It was a great treat to spend time with my family. It is surely something I will never forget.

Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve! Jason and I are headed to his fathers house to eat Clam Chowder and drink and be merry! Everyone have a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Things have been so busy lately! Sorry I haven't been the best updating this blog!

Last week Jason's little sister Laura had her school choir concert, she did such a great job! They sang all sorts of Christmas songs from different religions and areas of the world. It was adorable!
Also Last weekend Jason graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University! I am so proud of him! He received his Bachelor's degree in Business Management. It was a packed house at the graduation, with over 3,000 graduates this December alone! Now begins the search for his first "big boy" job! See the pictures above from all the Graduation festivities.

Well, I will be sure to post another blog before the end of the year, my grandmother is coming in from Florida so there will be plenty to post!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hello Everyone! I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! I know that we did! Jason's mom, sister and Tom all came over to my parents house to celebrate! Everything was so tasty! On Saturday my family met up ( Grandpa, Cousins Paul and Melanie, my Parents, Emily and Jason) for lunch in Baltimore at the S & M Grille. It was so good to meet up with my cousins and have some quality family time! Jason and I have been keeping very busy lately with finishing the basement that we have been living in for the past year, it is no fun living in a construction site, so I am thrilled to say that we are so close to finished. We hope to put in the floor this weekend!! I will be sure to post pictures as soon as we have finished! Also, good news, Jason is graduating from VCU on December 12th! I am just so proud of him!! He will have his Bachelor's degree in Business Management, so if anyone has any leads on a good "big boy" job, please let me know!! Please enjoy the pictures above from out trip to Baltimore!!

A little something for you all....

Visitors!

Jason and I were so happy to have Heather, Brandon and baby Grace come visit us this weekend from Pennsylvania! Heather and I have been friends since we were 6 so, it is very weird for me to spend time with her as a mother now, she is doing such a great job and I am so proud of her! Little Gracie is as sweet as ever and even smiled for both Jason and I! She is a talkative little baby ( I think she gets it from her Auntie Tara). Enjoy the pictures above from our visit together!

Camping

Jason and I were lucky enough to make one last trip out to the mountains before the campsites on the Shenandoah River closed for the hunting season! It was just so beautiful out there with all the leaves changing. On August 2nd for our three year anniversary this is were Jason and I went to get away for the weekend, and also where he proposed! The picture I have posted above is the view from the campsite.

Well well well...

I (Tara) have decided to start blogging, I figured this will be a great way to keep my family and friends posted on the what is going on with Jason and I now that we are starting to plan our wedding and our lives together. We are just so excited to be getting married, even though we are still about a year away! It has been such a busy Autmn for us so far! On September 27th our best friends Elizabeth and Brandt got married and we were both in their wedding! Jason was the best man and I was Elizabeth's maid of honor. I will be sure to post pictures from their wedding as soon as I get a few! The following weekend October 4th Jason and I headed down to surf city to attend Megan and Brian's wedding. (See pictures above) I was in this wedding party as well, so as you can imagine I had a lot of fun getting all dressed up! We are just so happy for all of our newlywed friends!
