And I of course love to help (ok observe and take pictures). So I was very excited when Hammond decided to dress up our stairwell. We basically wanted an extension of the same trim from the dining room going up the stairwell. I think it turned out really great and it really helped dress up that area. It went from not being noticed, to really being a pretty feature of the house. You see the stairs first when you walk in, so I love how it pops first thing!</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Here are some before pictures from when we first bought the house-prior to moving in. (This was probably right before we signed the papers and I found an unlocked window and <strike>climbed in</strike> let myself in)</span></em><br />

I know-it is only the beginning of March, but I guess strawberries grow good and early in South Carolina. I have the best and funniest memories of strawberry picking with my family at <a href="http://chesterfieldberryfarm.com/">The Chesterfield Berry Farm</a> from when I was a little girl. Every year I say to Hammond, "We are going to go berry picking!" And every year comes and goes and we never do it. SO this year, when I saw that the berries were ready, I said, "put your berry pickin boots on and lets go!" Reluctantly he got in the truck and off we went to <a href="http://www.stonofarmmarket.com/AmbroseFamilyFarm.html">Ambrose Farms</a></span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">That night I made the best strawberry shortcake ever. Even one of our friends was surprised at how well it came out. (Maybe because I looked a little confused when I was reading this super easy recipe-I think he had his doubts on how well it would come out!) But seriously-log onto this girl's blog RIGHT NOW and download this. Who would have thought that putting balsamic vinegar into your strawberries would be so good.?! And yes, I did the entire recipe from scratch-minus the whipped cream. I like whipped cream from the can. Don't judge. <a href="http://savorysweetlife.com/2009/07/the-best-of-summer-strawberry-shortcake-recipe/">Best Strawberry Shortcake Recipe</a></span></em><br />

<br />
Let me explain the hostility. Every year I think I'm cool and creative and can make shit look cute like it does on Pinterest. And every year Chad shakes his head but trudges with me to michaels or lowes etc and helps keep me from going postal in the store. And every year I get über frustrated bc let's just face it I'm better at pinning shit to Pinterest than actually making it. <br />
<br />
But sure why not try,try again. So I of course found this cute thing on Pinterest and was determined to make it. After running around for a whole Afternoon i figured out it was gonna cost way too much, got annoyed and walked out with my "creative" (read slacker) version. The end result is my neighbors and mother in law thinking I was in a sorority. YEAH RIGHT-ME. (Rachel and Jen Chen don't fall over laughing)<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Have you ever been to the IMAX in Richmond? It is so cool. In addition to being an IMAX theatre, it is shaped like a dome, so the movies are basically in front of you and above you. Makes for a super cool experience. I honestly thought that was what all IMAX theatres were like and was super disappointed when I went to a "normal" one. The movie we watched was The Rocky Mountain Express and it was excellent. It traced the history of the 1st transcontinental railway and it amazed me at how difficult it was to build. We are so spoiled these days with our roads and cars. These men worked YEARS across mountains and some of the most difficult terrain to build these railways...Anyways, here's a picture of my Dad. He LOVES popcorn and was like a little kid when we told him he could get some! :)</em></span><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My third "grandma" is Virginia. She's been a part of our lives for YEARS. I'm talking 25+ years. She was my Dad's secretary before she retired. I love her like crazy and hope that if I live to be as young as she is, that I am just as sharp and spry as she. I haven't seen her since my wedding and I surprised her before she flew out to Michigan to see her family. Surprising her might have been the highlight of my weekend. She almost cried she was so happy to see me! And I was thrilled to see her. xoxo Virginia!</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas. I can't believe it is almost 2013. I told my girlfriend today that I'm making a bucket list for the new year. Something I want to do each month. The items don't have to be big ticket items, but just some things to make the year more interesting. <br /><br />What are your bucket list items for 2013?</span></em></div>

Just haven't felt like blogging. I've had a lot go on too..maybe I'll "back blog" on it one day..but for now, I'm excited BEOTCHES..Like super excited. I don't have much on the old "bucket list" but there is one item that I'll be CHECKING OFF on Thursday and that's a MADONNA CONCERT. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm so excited I can barely stand it. I've wanted to see Madonna in concert for uhmm, oh I don't know 33 years now? And. I. Can't. Wait. I talked 5 of my good friends into going with me to Charlotte. As in I made them buy tickets in like March of this year. Those are friends I tell you...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">SO the question is...do I dress up for her concert as in a costume? Or just go looking super cute?? (Well as cute as I can-we all know I don't always put together the best outfits) And what does one wear to a Madge concert??</span><br />

How the travel industry has changed since it was first built-think about it! Trains, planes and automobiles.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">It has seen its fair share of celebs, socialites, and I just love walking through this beast of a hotel and reading of its history and seeing fun old "artifacts in the hotel" Although we were up there for just Friday and Saturday nights, we packed a lot in. In addition to exploring the hotel (seriously-you never know what you are going to find there) we went skeet shooting and horseback riding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The skeet shooting was my favorite part. The hunting lodge was gorgeous. Set up a little higher in the mountain-the views were amazingly beautiful. You could seriously have some beautiful events up there. I could just see a cool rehearsal dinner-as they had a covered pavilion overlooking the mountains. How fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The stables at The Homestead were beautiful too. The weather was calling for some nasty storms, but we braved it anyways. My horse did not really like me on her back at all. She kept turning and looking at me and then she'd run-trying to shake me off her back. Halfway through our ride, it began to POUR. And I mean P.O.U.R. down rain. Cold, freaking, mountain rain. We were SOAKED. Ever been caught in a rainstorm in your jeans? Yeah, they weighed 20 pounds by the time I got off my horse. Who by the way ran like a freaking maniac toward the stable when she caught sight of it. I might have <strike>screamed my head</strike> <strike>off</strike> yelled.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Would I recommend The Homestead to anyone? Hmmm...that's a tough question. The hotel is beautiful, historic and full of amazing activities. However, this hospitality girl was sincerely turned off by the lack of caring by the employees. I would be FIRED on the spot if I walked past one of my guests and didn't acknowledge them. However, I would never do that. I'm in this industry b/c I do truly care about people and their deserve to enjoy their travel. In addition this self proclaimed "foodie" was turned off by their food. Way over priced and absolutely bland food. So to answer my question-no I wouldn't recommend it. Any hotel can have amazing activities, grounds, rooms, and physical buildings, however, it is the personalized, gracious service that makes or breaks a resort/hotel. The Homestead used to have it but they need to go back to their roots and re-energize what the hospitality industry is all about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Did I have an amazing birthday-ABSOLUTELY!! I loved spending time in my favorite state with my favorite person. He makes me feel loved everyday. Thank you Hammond!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">(OH-and a special THANK YOU to my work friends who made me feel loved throughout the week...especially with cupcakes!)</span><br />

( I may have mentioned that a few times on this blog) He's incredibly thoughtful and at times as though it may seem that he doesn't listen, he most certainly is. He hears little things I say and saves them for later. Surprising me I guess. (I've learned if I really want something from him-don't ask him for it. He'll surprise me with it on his own time) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyhoo...for my 33rd bday he took me up to The Homestead in Hot Springs, VA. We drove 1/2 way and stayed at a surprisingly nice Fairfield Suites. I've got to say it was really nice (and this is coming from a total hotel snob-yes I will admit to that). The next morning we got up early and drove to my favorite place-BLACKSBURG, VA. (GO HOKIES!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We toured around campus:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Then we hit the campus store across the street. I had to get my shirts, a 2013 calendar and some car magnets for this year's football games.

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">After that fun shopping trip, we headed up to The Homestead. I've got to admit, I was a little teary eyed leaving VT. Which is ironic-while in college I'd be teary eyed leaving home to go to school. Now I'm teary eyed leaving school to go home or to continue on to vacation. Guess you never realize how good you have it until it is gone. (That's not to say I don't have it good now-b/c I do-but college was an experience everyone should have! It just goes by so quick!)</span><br />

That's really hard to believe that I went from middle of the summer to middle of September without posting anything. Do you ever just get tired of "one more thing to do?" That's sort of how I felt. Like having to do one more thing (blog) was just too much. My entire summer was basically consumed by the PGA and work. BORING. Seriously...That's sad. The 2012 PGA Championship was a lot of fun and I'm glad I had the opportunity to partake, but gosh it made my entire summer just fly by.</span><br />

It housed a terrible plant that I really didn't like and all of our surround sound equiptment. Finally one day last week I had enough of it. I took the tree outside and <strike>threw it in the woods</strike> gave it a proper burial.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I wanted a statement piece in that corner. At first I was thinking a bold, colorful piece, that is different from everything in our house. Not sure Hammond was into that, but I was determined to change his mind.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">We went shopping at some great furniture stores in the area and narrowed it down to a few pieces at Nadeau Home. Nadeau is a great store in Mt. Pleasant and their furniture is very generously priced. If you had the same pieces in some of the more popular stores like GDC, I'm pretty sure you'd pay about 50% more.</span></em><br />

<br />
First my beloved car had to get her service done today so I was given this sweet little bitch of a ride. Can you scream "fun" any louder than this? (I begged Chad to let me buy this) <br />

Then I went shopping for a dress for my mother in law with my future sister in law. I think we found her a dress which is great. I did find this fun little dress and had to try it on. Where I thought I'd wear it is beyond me. Something tells me this isn't work appropriate! <br />

And my last stop was a jewelry store that I love. I'm trying to find a setting for this loose stone I have and I loved this setting (Keep in mind this is wax and would be 14k white gold). That is my stone on top though. Doesn't that make for a pretty ring? Now I just need to convince myself it is ok to spend money on me....<br />

He loves to cook and I can't complain (other than my expanding waistline-but maybe that's the gelato I seem to shovel in...) He's an excellent chef and apparently food will taste better on a new gas stove...All I know that after what we spent on a hood and stove, he better be making me breakfast, lunch and dinner! :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We still have to vent the hood to the outside, so pictures aren't complete-but pretty close...Enjoy....now where is that gelato...</span><br />

We hiked for about 3 hours and it was pretty neat. The views were amazing and of course I just kept reminding myself that hiking would be over soon and I could hit the beach. (Really-my idea of being an "outdoorsy" girl is drinking wine, outside on my patio...)<br />
<br />
So we hiked up to this amazing mountain and truly the views were awesome....(This is at Golden Rock)<br />

Holy moly! We ate some amazing food in Nevis. AMAZING. By far our favorite restaurant was "Bananas" Kind of cute considering all of the monkeys on the island! What we all loved was dining outside which we did with every single meal. It was awesome....Enjoy some cool restaurant and food shots!</span></em><br />

We got to see some awesome sites and a really cool snorkel area. I had a total panic attack (which is normal for me) when I put on the snorkel goggles. It freaks me out-not going to lie and the fact that I had to jump in the water instead of ease in-couldn't. freakin.do.it. </em></span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Lucky for me Cristen couldn't snorkel this trip either so we floated around on noodles as Chad and Phil went snorkeling. I actually think this might have been more fun! Plus my hubby bought a "GO PRO" and wore it around-so now we have video footage of his snorkel trip. Pretty cool-I got to float on a noodle and WATCH his snorkel trip. Could I have been any more lazy on this trip? "Please dahling...snorkel for me as I float on this noodle...."</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">99% of most people we asked said "GO TO THE HOSPITAL" but Chad decided to listen to the ONE person who said "heat and grease" who also tried to SELL him something after his said advice. So needless to say that we did NOT go to the hospital. (Even though CRISTEN begged him to go...and I think she would have paid for it too) So sea urchin spines are still in my husband's foot...and we haven't had to amputate it-so score one for Chad?? (But the Sea Urchin is still score 5)</span></em><br />

As I sit here and type this blog, I am trying to figure out how I can afford to buy a house on Nevis and rent it out all the while vacationing down there multiple times a year.....Dream on Charleston Hokie, dream on...</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Nevis is a gorgeous island in the caribbean located just south of St. Kitts. So we went from CHS to CLT-St Kitts. And in our layover in CLT picked up our two friends, Cristen & Phil who were vacationing with us! (Yeah for bringing friends on a trip!) Once we arrived in St. Kitts, we were taken via taxi by "Seamoss" to Reggae Beach (re-named by me & Cristen "Boobie Beach" as in Chad and Phil were going to see more boobs there then they were the whole trip!) We had a private boat take us from St. Kitts over to Oualie Beach, Nevis where our house concierge, Rita, picked us up and took us to our amazing house.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">One of the coolest things about where we stayed (other than the awesome central location and proximity to the beach) were the animals that you saw. We had goats, sheep, donkeys, piglets (which I heard but never saw), cows and MONKEYS that hung out around the house. The monkeys were pretty cool. They are African Velvet Monkeys and while the islanders hate them (because they take their fruit from the trees, eat one bite, and throw it away) us tourists loved them!</span></em><br />

And damn cake-it has gluten which I've been pretty good about giving up since my detox back in Feb. I decided to bake a cake for our Mother's Day dinner and force "gluten" free upon my in laws. They were pretty good sports about a gluten free cake. And the taste wasn't too bad, however, that sucker weighed about 25 pounds. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I tried two different gluten free cake mixes-ok fine-it is really b/c I wanted to make a layer cake and totally forgot to buy the second box. And the second grocery store I went to didn't have the same kind...So there-busted. Mistake number 1. </span></em><br />

Overall, this isn't such a bad alternative to real cake. Eat small pieces as a big old hunk of cake will feel like a bowling ball in your tummy!!</div>Charleston Hokiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15457335452810077912noreply@blogger.com1
