Easter

We had a great Easter! We started our morning off by attending sunrise service. Then we joined the rest of the Baker crew down at David and Jackie's house in the low country. It was an absolutely beautiful day with perfect weather. We had tons of food and everything was delicious!
It's hard to believe that spring break is over and there are basically just eight more weeks of school left. Woo hoo!!!!

Myrtle Beach

A weekend or so ago Matt and I took a little mini vacation to Myrtle Beach and had a great time. We went and visited the outlets, dined at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, and spent a ton of time at Broadway at the Beach. We were fortunate enough to get a place right on the beach for a decent price and enjoyed every minute of it!








This week is spring break and I am enjoying the time off. I have spent some of my time off so far working on our yard and planting flowers. For Easter, we are heading down to the low country to spend some time with David and Jackie and the rest of the Baker crew. We are looking forward to that! I hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed Easter!

Alumni Soccer Game

Well it's about time I posted again.....sorry for the long gap in updates. There really hasn't been a ton going on.
This past weekend Matt played in the Airport High School Alumni game and it was great! The weather was nice and warm. It was so nice to see him and his brothers all playing together at the same time. Here are some pics from the event:

Snow Day

This past Tuesday South Carolina was lucky enough to see a little snow! Yay! I was thankful because it gave me a day off from work. :) I decided to go out in it for a little while and much to my dogs dismay take them out as well. We had a good time and it was nice to see snow falling.

Patches was not to pleased to have to get her paws wet.


Bandit liked the snow!

Our annual Tree Cutting in Boone, NC

Thanksgiving break is almost over. :( We have had a wonderful time with family and friends. We finished the weekend off by going to Boone, NC yesterday to pick out our Christmas tree. We love going to do this! It was freezing and there was even snow on the ground in some places! Matt and I roamed and roamed because we have this thing about wanting a "fat" tree so it took us quite a while to find our "perfect" tree. Now the fun part of decorating begins!!! Yay!

Here are some pics from the trip.

Almost Finished With School.....Forever!

Hey everyone,

I haven't updated in a while, so I figured I'd post. Things are going well, just busy. I am counting down the days until December 12th because that is my last day of my Master's degree! Yay! I am almost there.......this semester has been by far the most difficult. Writing a thesis is tough stuff! I really think my educational motivation declined this summer. All of my life I have been a great student and always willing to learn....this semester I have really had to "grin and bear it" to get through everything. I think my brain is just tired! :)~
Matt and I are both excited about Thanksgiving next week. Time off from work and visiting with family is going to be great! We are going to be spending the day in Charleston. Then that weekend, we are going to going up to Boone, NC to cut down a Christmas tree (a Baker Family Tradition)!!! We are exciting about decorating our house as this is our first Christmas here!

Happy Birthday and Halloween!

Matt and I decided since this was our first Halloween in our new house that we would have a party! I was excited about seeing how many trick or treater's we would have and was so happy that we had a bunch! I was even more surprised when Matt surprised me by having a cake and everything for my birthday while everyone was there (my birthday was the day before Halloween). We had a blast! It was truly a delight to get to spend Halloween with family and friends!
