We had a lovely Thanksgiving this year! We went to see Arlon's mom in Vermont. We (me, Brad, Arlon, and Brad's parents) flew up Monday and my parents flew in from Colorado also which was nice!
Here is one of my favorite pics from the trip. We missed all the fall leaves by about 2 months, but it was still gorgeous!
WOW. You all have traveled a LOT here lately. How fun. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to Vermont this time of year. Is it too late to see pretty leaves or just the right time? Let us know.
Have fun! Arlon's mom the best. Hope you get to see the Macy's Parade your only about 5 hours away from N.Y. Check out Ben & Jerry's it about 1 1/2 from them. Make sure Pat takes you to the Storm restuarant it is great and wonderful views of the spillway and great shops to go antiquing. I hope you get to go to Flatbread's for their homemade pizza it just open on the weekends they have the freshes ingredents and goat cheese on their pizza is one of their specialities. We will have to compare pics. I went up in July and her flower gardens were in peak bloom. Enjoy the breath taking views of the mountains just out her living room window. It is beautiful country side and rolling hills and a course snow is likely now. Say Hi to Pat, Jay and Marlene for me Marlene is a Great cook. Happy THanksgiving to you all. Maybe next year you all can come to St. Louis we love to have you all.
Did you see Champ? He's the sea monster that lives in the Lake Champlain. As you fly into the airport you will see Lake Champlain talk about a view it is massive. Take the ferry ride over and Champ may pop out of the water hee, hee. Wish I was there.
Aww! You're too sweet. I actually didn't make it to FC, but did make a bunch of friends at Jr & Sr days. My husband, Kyle Bridges, went to FC in 2000 {I think that is the year..}. He's cousins with Kody & Dana Marrs who are cousins with Nicole. I attend the same congregation with Liz Travis & Becky Mann. Your house is awesome! I can't wait to see the finished product - as i'm sure you're dying to see too! Congrats on that fun adventure! I'd love to see some of your craft projects too! I know what you mean about not having time & a place to craft. With Miss Taylor on the way, we've been way to busy & disorganized. I do have some fun projects planned for the next couple weeks before she arrives. Hopefully once the holiday is over and I have some free time, I can work on the custom onesies, burp rags & paci clips. Thank you so much for your prayers in the last few weeks of the pregnancy & the upcoming homebirth. We're very excited & are trusting God in this scary but exciting time. It's nice meeting you, and I'd love to keep in touch!
I have been informed that our website is not working very well (probably b/c I have so many pictures on it...lol) so I uploaded photos to our gallery. Click on "Photo Gallery" to the left! Sorry I am so behind! They are tiling this week! Only half our lights are hung so the electrician is coming back soon and then I'm off to pick countertops...yea!
Our trip to Nashville was wonderful. I miss all our wonderful friends there so much! It was great to visit and catch up, we stayed with someone different every night :) Steve and Abby looked so very happy:) Their wedding was gorgeous!
Here is my new "do"...some of you were asking for a picture. Thanks to her, she did a great job! I like it alot...it was time for something different:)
Have a super day!
Quote I read this week:
"Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thornbush has roses."
You look fantastic!!! I need to do something with my own hair (especially for Laura's wedding) but don't yet know what to do. Did you hear that Kayleen had her baby last week? A little girl named Tessa Dawn!!!
Yeah! I can come Friday night!!! Ross is ..sadly...in Arkansas for like the next two weeks..so no he won't be coming. I might stay the entire weekend if that's okay? My Uncle Tim is doing a meeting in Houston that I'd like to go hear on Sunday if you wanna come!
Hey Girl...are you up for shopping either Sat or Fri? I have been wanting to get a new dress for the showers coming up...and thought it'd be fun to go w/ you!! Remember when we went banquet shopping LONG ago for FC??? You found that beautiful red dress!!!
That sounds awesome!! I get off work @ like 4:30pm so I don't know how long it'll take me but I'd say at least an hour and a half...so maybe around 6ish? Course w/ traffic could be worse! I don't know!
Thanks!! I was actually talking to David about you guys and showing him the pictures of your house!! I may be wrong, but you guys are doing it all yourselves, right?? Or are you going through a builder? We'll be using a builder, and it's in the Frisco area. (North of Dallas) We are SO SO excited! We've been staying with David's parents since we sold our house in August and are very ready to have our "home" again. :) I LOVE picking out all the colors and cabinets and tile and carpet..I could do that all day..so I'm looking forward to this very much! :)
We are off to Nashville and Bowling Green for the weekend for their wedding! We look forward to seeing many friends that we have not seen in a while :)
Have a good trip. I am sorry that we will miss you as well. I am bringing my family (preaching in Columubus this weekend). My Lydia would have loved to have seen you.
So ... I noticed that you are in charge of the Fri Talent show at camp. It's easy work :)
Hey gal, we will see you at the wedding!! Looking forward to it!! I'm sure you have a million places to stay, but you are more than welcome to stay with us if you need a bed.
hey i remember meeting you through misty - maybe it was in bowling green? anyway my hubby is there staying in a hotel some where north i think. he works on the east side of the inner loop. he has just been there 2 days but so far so good :) i hope to visit him soon. maybe then i will have some questions. send me your email if you will - thanks
