Snow, Skating, Home & Job!!!

I know it has been a while since my last post and I apologize to anyone that has actually been patiently waiting for the next installment of Lives Entwined.  There have been so many new things in 2012 for Mr. & Mrs. Smith.  First exciting news is that it snowed in Franklin, TN!!  For a girl that has lived in Florida for 12 years, seeing the snow fall was wonderful, even if it was just a dusting!  Some more thrilling news is that I started coaching skating again.  It is wonderful to get back into something that I really truly love to do.  It is so weird though figuring out the dynamic, rules and regulations at a different rink after coaching at the same rink for my entire coaching career.  The next exciting news is that we are closing on a house next week!  We found a house just before Christmas that we absolutely fell in love with and we patiently waited to find out if we were going to make this house our home.  After lots of prayers and getting all of our duck were in a row we are ecstatic to close next week.  Right now however that means that our apartment is a disaster with all the packing going on.  I’m sure the weeks to come there will be plenty of design, decorating and Pintrest recreation posts.  I am so excited to make our house the home that both Adam and I have dreamt of and more thrilled to have friends and family come visit us!  The next very exciting news is that I got a JOB!  I actually start my new job as a Business Analyst on Monday and I am so overjoyed!  I have not been working since I moved here to TN in May 2011, with the move, wedding planning and the holidays I thought it was best to wait until the New Year to work.  Thankfully I found a great job and can’t wait to give you an update soon about it.  One more sensational update is that Adam and I had a great find at an Eddie Bauer store that was going out of business, two coffee tables for $15 each!  We are going to make it a weekend project to re-finish them to use in our living room and our bonus room.  I will for sure give you an update on our craftiness.

Ringing in 2012

It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone and the start to a new year has begun.  Adam and I got to ring in the new year in the most amazing way this year we went to Greenville, SC for the Avett Brothers concert with Christy & Alex! The concert was fantastic, Greenville is beautiful and spending the weekend with Christy and Alex was the best!  Here are just a few pictures of our wonderful weekend. 

I know that 2012 is going to be an amazing year for us, our family and our friends!  We look forward to sharing more wonderful memories that 2012 has in store for us!

12 Ladies Dancing

    I love the stage, as much as I love being on it myself I love seeing amazing singers, dancers and actors on stage even more.  There is something about the sparkly costumes, the false eyelashes, the wigs, the quick changes, the stage hands and the talent that feels magical.  Last night for a Christmas surprise Adam took me to the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at the Grand Olde Opry, it was wonderful.  I am so impressed with their perfection, synchronization and stage presence, their legs that go on for miles and their wide warm smiles.  If I grew up a dancer I would for sure have dreamed of being a Rockette, heck, I am not a dancer and still dreaming of being a Rockette.  These lovely ladies have been toe tapping and high kicking since 1925, which is very impressive that still today that it is one of the most-watched live shows in the United States, with over 2 million viewers per year.  Anyone that has a chance to go out and catch this live, go see it, you wont be disappointed. 

 

Our Wedding Video

 I love love love watching this and remembering the most memorable day in my and Adams life to date.  I cant believe it has already been 2 months since we said 'I Do' and became Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Home Sweet Home

Adam and I have been non stop traveling since we have been married and this week it is so nice to be home.  Don't get us wrong it has been wonderful seeing our family and friends along the way, but it sure is nice to sleep in our own bed.  Since we have been home we have gotten a chance to look at new homes for us to call our own.  House hunting is super fun but also stressful, confusing and a huge decision.  Right now we live in Franklin which was named in Southern Living's "Best Small Town" top ten list, Best Places to Live, CNN Money (August 2011), Top 5 Most Romantic Main Streets and Top 100 Places to Live, Relocate America (July 2011) .  So you can imagine how difficult it is to decide to move out of such a wonderful city, however Franklin being as amazing as it is houses in Franklin are very expensive and more of an investment Adam and I want to make right now.  We have been looking in a town 20 minutes south of Franklin called Spring Hill and have found a really nice house there.  Both Adam and I are still trying to decide if it is the right house and location for us and hopefully we can make a decision soon.  I'm usually the one to make a quick emotionally fueled decision and Adam is the calm, think about all the possibilities first decision maker so between the two of us I think we have the heart and the brain to make a good solid decision.  


Can you believe it is 2 weeks till Christmas!?!?!  Well actually it is 5 days for our Christmas with my parents and 12 days until our Christmas with Adams family.  It is so wonderful that we get to spend our first Christmas being married with our families even though they live far away from us.  Adam and I are truly blessed and thankful!
