The Riverhouse

Hey friends! Long-time no talk! It has been quite some time since my last post and so much life has happened! All good things 🙂 I was able to quit my day job and have started working full time for the company my husband and I own together. It was a huge shift and I had to learn a lot but I am ultimately so grateful to be able to work from home let alone with my favorite person in the world. Between that, a few trips to see family and finding our new normal it hasn’t left me much time nurture this little blog of mine – but boy am I glad to be back at it!I decided for my first post back I would share about our time up in the Tennesse mountains two weeks ago. We stayed at Nana & Papaws (Williams grandparents) Riverhouse, which William & I call a slice of heaven on earth. Now, I had been to the river house one other time but under a few circumstances. It was during our engagement but I had gone without William! The first time I met his extended family I was just with his parents!! Luckily his entire family is so sweet, kind and generous that it was not one bit uncomfortable – I felt so loved and right at home. 

The reason for our trip was to celebrate Papaws 80th birthday. His children threw a wonderful Tennessee Volunteer’s themed party and many of his siblings (he had 14 brothers and sisters!!) and friends were there too. The 4 days we were up there, I had not one ounce of stress – it was complete bliss. Lots of giggles, Rook games and family filled fun time! It is one of my favorite trips William and I have ever taken and we will treasure the memories made!!

 

Here are some photos from our trip:

This is right off the back porch of the Riverhouse! The photo does not do it justice in the slightest.

I have the BEST In-Laws, I love them so much! They don’t make me feel any different than one of their own.

Sweet Nana & Papaw, we treasure our time with them.

Nana loves her William! I love their special bond, it absolutely melts my heart!!!

I love catching him relaxing and pondering. He is so smart, I often wonder what he thinks about haha

I am already looking forward to the next trip we are able to take back to this piece of heaven! I would love to see it during fall – my absolute favorite time of year (which sadly, Florida lacks haha). I am forever grateful for the family I married into and the dream Will fulfills for me of having such a close-knit family!

That wraps up this post, I don’t have a set schedule moving forward on how often I will post. I am hoping to get back to a structured weekly schedule in a couple of weeks so please bear with me! I am so grateful for those who have still shown interest in my blog even during my absence, every time I chat with my mama she says her friends keep asking when I will be coming back (you ladies are the sweetest!).

 

Thank you for taking the time to read parts of my life and share a bit of your day with me. I am thrilled to be back and have lots of fun things in store, I can’t wait! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

 

With Love,
