December? I cannot believe the Christmas season is already upon us. I was ready for it a few weeks ago, but now I'm having trouble getting into everything. I love Autumn, so it's a little hard to see it go! Earlier last month I took a trip to the mountains with this lovely lady. We've been close friends since I was seventeen! It's funny how it still feels like yesterday when we met. Ashley is one of those friends that you want to hold onto forever once you find them! She is a gem if there ever was one. She lives in my hometown of Jacksonville, but I don't always get to see her as much as I would like on those trips with work and family as well. A few months ago we decided that we should get away for a weekend together. This was our first time ever doing something like this and I think it should become a tradition. It was one of my favorite weekends of the year! These are a few images around our mountain house. Later on I will share some of our trip to the Biltmore. Ah, it was spectacular! I could go back in a heartbeat!
