birthdays, graduations, walking pneumonia, and the flu

it's been a crazy few weeks folks.  sorry for my lack of blog writing :(  this girl has been sick!  i've had walking pneumonia and the flu all in one month!  i'm finally starting to feel like a human again after loads of medication.  a lot has happened in the past few weeks.  we took a trip to gatlinburg with some friends, went to the biltmore house, i cooked my first thanksgiving turkey, turned 28, had a ton of friends and family in town, and my sister graduated from college.  needless to say i'm exhausted.  here are a few pics from the past few weeks:

i hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season.  now that i'm feeling better, i promise to start paying more attention to my blog :)  happy monday everyone!!
