Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my husband, for family, for the farm, for tradition, and for delicious food. What are you thankful for?

Our Christmas Gift to Each Other

We've been saving to get this for ourselves this Christmas. I know it's a little early, but we found this great deal on Craigslist - and I want to be able to take family pictures at Thanksgiving this year. Now we just need to start practicing taking pictures. 

Georgi

As mentioned before - our incentive to ourselves for paying off the car was to get a doggy. SO we started looking at local adoption sites. We feel like, with our current schedules, it would be better to rescue an older dog (not a puppy) since neither of us are able to be home a lot. Plus, I really feel like there are so many dogs that need a home, we should take care of the a poor unloved puppy.

Meet Georgi.

We found this little guy online, and instantly fell in love. Only to found out he had been adopted a day earlier. Oh so sad... and yet so happy. We're glad he has a home, but a little heart broken that it wasn't ours.

Since we're still in mourning, we've decided to wait until after the holidays to look again. We just can't take another heartbreak... But you can expect that I will be introducing you to another furry four-legged friend in the near future.

Saturday Farm Party

This past Saturday night our youth ministry hosted a Farm Party at Mainstay Farm in Cleburne, TX. It was so much fun - roasting hot dogs, jumping on a giant jumping pillow, the big maze (in the dark), hay rides, big slide, and of course roasting smores. Such fun and such great students!

Beautiful Kitchen

This kitchen is gorgeous. I love the mix of modern and vintage. It's so warm and inviting...

If you need to laugh...

This is so funny - I hope it makes you laugh as much as I did (there may have been a few tears)

Irish Brown Bread Ice Cream

I love all things Irish. And Ice Cream for that matter... So this weekend (in honor of my dear college roommate's visit, Monica) I think I shall try this:

Doesn't it look delicious? I'll post my own learning and photos after I give it a whirl this weekend.
