It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Joneses!!!

Our first Christmas tree!!!!
Thankfully one of our wedding gifts was a bag full of ornaments so we didnt have to buy anything except for the tree, the topper and the lights!!! The topper is actually an over sized ornament we got at Target because the real toppers were way to expensive! And sweet Nathan figured out a way to make it stay up there! hahaha

Also, luckily my momma has given me a bell for every Christmas of my life = 25 bells. Which really helped fill the tree too! Woop woop! Don't you love mommas.

And now for my craftiness...
Over Thanksgiving, I was feeling pretty cheap. So I figured I would use some of our burlap left over from the wedding and I made some stockings! I used my mom's sowing machine and one of my mom's stocking's as a pattern. Then I went to Hobby Lobby to figure out how I wanted to put the initials on... and we ran into KatieMac (my fav) who talked me into cross-stitching the initials on. I think they turned out pretty good...

They aren't totally finished yet. I think I'm going to put a stripe above and below the initials. Or maybe I can figure out how to cross-stitch a snowflake or something...

AHH!!!! Christmas time!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Happy Birthday Mama Jones!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. ROBIN!!!!

We love you and we hope you have a GREAT B-day!

On the road to employment...

So, for those of you that don't already know... I am going to be working at the Doctors Care on Forest Drive. And for those of you that dont know what Doctors Care is... it is an urgent care center. I'm super excited about having a job so that I can support the fam (aka nathan and me).

Today I had to go around to ~6 Doctors Cares in the Columbia area to get signatures. It was crazy but now I am finished with my PA license application and I got to turn it in today!!!! Woop woop!!! So, hopefully I will have my temporary license within the next 2-3 weeks and then I can start working hard for the money! YAY!

Who knew getting a job was so much work?

My housewife life.

So... as many of you know, I have not started a job yet.
AKA I am a housewife for the time being.

Here are some of my daily activities...

Watch the Today show and Morning Joe.
Look at pinterest.
Watch Hoda and Kathy Lee/ maybe even Regis and Kelly sometimes...
look at pinterst.
Write a few thank you notes.
look at pinterest.
Make a few paper ornaments that look like snowflakes out of shredded paper. (weird, I know... but dont be alarmed if you receive one of my handmade creations for Christmas. ha.)
Make felt flowers to create a wreath that looks like one that I saw a pinterest. (since im not making any money I can only do activities that cost almost nothing!)
Maybe go to the gym.
Read some BSF or the Help (which BTW, is super funny)

I know all of this sounds amazing to those of you that have jobs... and right now it is pretty amazing because I am watching Sleepless in Seattle at 1:30 in the afternoon, but lets be honest. I'm pretty bored and I'm ready to have a job!


Now for some examples of my housewife work...
