Cancun with the Franco's

We got back from Cancun (aka Heaven on Earth) last week and we had so much fun. We went with Jeff's Mom and Dad and stayed for a week. It was so hard to come home! The trip was much needed and SO relaxing. We laid on the beach from 9-4 everyday, drank pina coladas and then went to dinner at night. It may sound boring but it was perfect! If you need a vacation I highly recommend it and we would be happy to go back with you!

Cancun has the most amazing water and beach! I don't think you can find that color of water anywhere else!

Jeff and I at the beach. As you can see I got a little burnt!

Spring Fever!

I cannot wait for Spring. It is my very favorite season because everything is so new and fresh. Last fall I planted my very first tulips and they are beginning to bloom! I was so excited so I thought I would show them off! But we are headed to Cancun tomorrow for a week and I am sure it is just what I need to cure my Spring Fever!

Finally a New Post!

So I just realized that it has been a whole month since i have posted something, sorry bout that. Sometimes I think it is more fun to look at other people's blogs that update my own. Anyways a little while ago my BFF Jessica came in town from Virginia so we had a little get together. We have been friends since we were in 5th grade. I love her to pieces! The girls just chatted while the husbands played guitar hero. Super fun night!

For V-day Jeff and I spent the day staining our new rocking chairs (below)! I LOVE to sit on the porch in a rocking chair, it is one of my favorite things to do ever! Then we went to the roof for dinner and saw "Shopaholic". Also a super fun night!

I also have wanted to put up curtains in our family room since we moved in but just have not gotten around to it. But I finally did and here they are...

That is what is new with the Franco family. Jeff also started a new position with Holmes Homes and is loving it. I will post about that later and I promise it wont be a month next time!

A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

We had a GREAT Christmas this year! It was our first christmas being married and we had so much fun. We celebrated Christmas Eve with both of our Families (sorry no pictures). Then we woke up christmas morning and opened presents together and had a yummy breakfast.  Then we just chilled with our families all day. We had so much fun but it went by way to fast! (keep in mind in the pictures below that we just woke up!)

Then on New Years Eve we got together with a bunch of our friends in the neighborhood and went bowling. It was super fun and a great way to bring in the new year!

Oh Christmas Tree

This is our first Christmas together (being married at least) and it has been so much fun so far. We decorated the tree, put up garlands and Jeff attempted to put lights on the house but gave up soon after! Maybe next year! We can't wait for Christmas to come, I am sure it will be a memorable one! I hope every one has a Merry Christmas!
