And Thanksgiving is here

Since I started working in October, time has been flying by. I'm thoroughly enjoying my job and thankful that I get to work with two of my best friends! J and I have been quite busy but having a lot of fun. He went to Gatlinburg for a bachelor party and I went to Atlanta with the bachelorette. We had a great time despite the bride getting a nasty cold right before we got there :( 

Last weekend we headed to west Alabama to visit grandparents and cousins...that was a lot of fun and Lacy and I got some great antique treasures from my grandmother. We are slowly but surely gathering more things to fill our home...We are scheduled to close on our NEW HOUSE Nov 30! The incredible blessing is that the sellers are building a home and can't move in until March and we have our lease until March so we actually won't be moving in until then.

Our new house! Can't wait to move in

Made it to ATL for Lauren's bachelorette weekend

Again-the girls at lunch

My adorable husband 

Hubs had a strange episode while working out & had to visit the ER...thankfully, everything is fine!

Next week is Thanksgiving and there is much to be thankful for...health, marriage, family, friends, being back in Birmingham, jobs and more. We're looking forward to spending special time with everyone next week.

All Hallows Eve

Halloween is a bizarre holiday to me but I've always participated in the festivities...dressing up, giving candy to trick-or-treaters, carving pumpkins and watching Hocus Pocus (which is my favorite part). This year, Jonathan and I came up with last minute costumes that were free and easy, the way we like it. Friday night we went with friends to a costume party at a local brewing company. It was a lot of fun to see such creative costumes and spend time together. We carved pumpkins but with the weather going back and forth between 75 degrees and 38 degrees, we couldn't leave our pumpkin out all week or it would have collapsed. This is one of my favorite pumpkins so far!

Great costumes!
