Merry Christmas!
For the Nieder-Meyer Christmas this year we got a diploma and vacation! I'll try to narrate through the pictures below!
After 2 years and a baby, I've finally earned a Masters in Science! I got a degree in Youth Development Leadership from Clemson, I loved my program and the education I received aligns perfectly with my passion for youth. It was great to celebrate with this crew and acknowledge what I've been doing in my "spare" time.
After graduation, Dan, Remy and I headed to Charleston, SC for vacation! We rented a great little studio apartment via Airbnb and it was perfect. We walked around for an entire day just looking at the houses, stopping at parks, eating great food, and going to the aquarium (where we got to see Santa scuba). We LOVED Charleston and recommend it to anyone!

Day two we went a few miles north to Magnolia Plantation. It was incredible to see the home, history, and gardens of this place. It was like going back in time, not a time I wish to ever experience, but beautiful place to visit. There was a petting zoo, walking trails, and so much to see. We even saw a alligator on the Ashley River!
Merry Christmas from elf Dan. The most bearded elf I've ever seen!
After the plantation, we went to Folly Beach. Probably our favorite spot! We spent all afternoon on the beach, listening to the ocean, soaking in the sun, and watching Remy play and laugh in the sand. She didn't like the water, but loved digging and playing in the sand. We walked the pier, got ice cream, and I ate one of the best meals of my life next to the ocean (Shrimp and Grits). The beach was wonderful!
The cutest picture in the world by far
Next day we traveled down to Savannah. First we stopped in Beaufort, SC and then to Tybee Island first though. We LOVED Beaufort too, they have a Boys & Girls Club there so if you can't find me you know where I went. It was a great with awesome parks.
Tybee Island is just south of Savannah, it was a picturesque beach and light house. Another beautiful spot.
Last but not least, Savannah. We didn't have much time here and it was a little difficult with a baby, but this city is also very cool. So much history, food, and architecture to enjoy. It was very cool to see the old and new combined.
On our way back, we stopped and had dinner with my amazing Godmother Melody and had just a great time visiting for a few hours. Remy had fun, we got fed, and we got an extra dose of Melody love which always is good!
After some detours from flooding, we made it home at 5AM Christmas Eve. Whew!
This morning Remy saw and opened her gifts before we could even make coffee! It was fun and I imagine it will only get better. We're enjoying our time together making our own traditions and memories in our new, forever, home.
Merry Christmas everyone! Love from Bloomington!
