I Can't Believe It Is January and that is almost over!!

Well here we are at the end of January already! Alot of things have been going on and I never got here.  Well better late than never I guess!

I got a promotion at work.  I am now a Clerk at Customer Service at Harris Teeter instead of a cashier.  I love my new job and I'm still learning it.  I started with Harris Teeter in September and I have great managers and co-workers!

My friend, Angie was just here from Minnesota for a visit.  It was like a heat wave for her!  We had such a wonderful time talking, visiting, antiquing, shopping, eating wonderful food, etc. She also had a birthday yesterday (the 27th) so we had a special dinner at Chef Santos in Salisbury.   I took her to the airport this morning and boy do I miss her already!  Riley really loved her.  He keeps looking for her and even was by the guest room door waiting for her to come out.  I had to open the door to show him she actually had left.  Here are a few photos of our visit:

This is Angie.

We were driving around and coming home from White Owl Antique Mall and we saw this house with the cutest conservatory.  This is in Mt. Pleasant, NC.

One of the Antique Booths at The Depot at Gibson Mills Antique Mall.

This is Lower Stone Church on the way back to my house.  I love the look of this church with all the stone!

Angie snapped a photo of me at Gibson Mills.  

Pansies at Pikes Nursery in Matthews, NC
This is the main fountain at Pike's Nursery

This cute arrangement at Pikes had this little cabbage in it along with pansies and stock.  Smelled amazing!!

I made this rose arrangement for Angie's room while she was here.

These roses are so beautiful!!

My amaryllis that I have been waiting for it to bloom, decided to bloom and it is gorgeous!  I bought it from Longfield Gardens and it is a double-just gorgeous!!




I made 2 new wreaths for the winter/spring months for my church.  They turned out nicely.


I started painting the walls in the living room-SW Sea Salt but mixed at a Benjamin Moore store.  I like Ben Moore paint better.  I love how it turned out.  I will continue the same color through the kitchen and eating area.


So as you can see I had alot going on in January!  February looks pretty busy too, but I am going to try and get on here more often.  I love blogging-it gives me so much joy!

I hope you have a wonderful last few days of January!  See you in February.

    1. It was so much fun! I can't wait until we visit again either! Riley misses you so much. I can't even sit in the blue and white chair because he keeps wanting me to throw his red and green toy to him like you did. He starts crying for you too!
