Secret Trip: Highlands, NC






After over a month of anticipation of where my "secret trip" would be, Patrick finally had to tell me where we were going a few days before we left. I had to know to pack for the high to be 40 degrees! When we got to the Highlands late Friday night, it was about 17 degrees. After a few turn arounds we found my cousin Laura's cabin and defrosted by the fire. We hiked, shopped, and ate at some great restaurants. Highlands is a quiet, friendly, little town, great for relaxing. Thanks for a great trip Patrick!

Our 1st tree



On the way home from our Thanksgiving trip around the world, we went to Lowes to pick out our very first Christmas tree! I don't know about Patrick, but I've never had a tree of my own (other than the one at my parents' house) so I was super excited. I love the smell that fills our condo; it just makes me happy. On this past Sunday we wrapped most of our Christmas presents. Yeah, we're on the ball! But what do we get my parents??
