Banana Nut Bread

One word for you. Yum. Just take a sniff of this glorious picture.

This recipe is from Southern Living and it is absolutely yummy. I wouldn't even mind using the base of the batter and trying out other ingredients!

Hope it is delicious!

Holly Jolly Christmas Shower

I have realized more and more how blessed and thankful I am for everything that I have. Getting married truly opens your eyes to how much you are cared for and loved by wonderful friends and family.

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 24), one of my very best friends and her mom (Ashton and Mrs. Lee Ann!) gave Jonathan and I a "Holly Jolly Christmas Shower" and it was absolutely wonderful! It was so good to see some of my closest family and friends and open their wonderful gifts. I have already realized how special this shower was because now at every Christmas when Jonathan and I are "decking the halls," I can remember the special people who gave us certain gifts.

One of my wonderful bridesmaids, Lynetti and I!

Thanks again to everyone that came and the wonderful, sweet gifts you gave.
