Thanksgiving Break 2015

This Thanksgiving break we were home the whole time which was such a nice treat and we got to spend some great time with family, friends and each other.  I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

We started the week off with the Main St. Grapevine Tree Lighting 

Annie and Ruthie came in town early and we shopped, saw Santa, did crafts and got lots of quality time together! 

We spent the actual day at my Moms and Jeffrey's fried turkey was a hit! 

We unexpectedly got to surprise the Joneses at Love field during their layover 

We took a trip to the Gaylord with our besties to watch the BU/TCU game..it did not end quite how we wanted, but we always love our BEARS and had a great time! 

We ended the weekend with a trip to Sundance square with our friends/neighbors to eat Mexican food and look at their gorgeous tree! 

Thankful for THANKSGIVING break,

Cheers to 4 Years

November 19 we celebrated 4 years of being married. I still cannot believe it has been 4 years already. I am so thankful to Jesus for the gift of marriage and for the life Jeffrey and I have together. Jeffrey and I love to celebrate all things and our anniversary was no exception. We decided to do what we love best and take a trip. We did a little weekend road trip to Waco and then to Fredricksburg. Friday we spent it in Waco and ate at the first place we had a date then called it an early night because we were leaving bright and early Saturday. We got to Enchanted Rock right when it opened and spent the morning hiking and hanging out. We then headed to Fredricksburg to the Herb Farm to check in for the remainder of the weekend. We laughed, ate, relaxed, talked about the last year and set goals for the year to come. We had the best time away and it was a great way to celebrate 4 years together! Cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for year 5!

"When I look in his eyes, I don't see perfection. I don't see a love story that would necessarily be something people would watch on a big screen and dream about. I see someone who will fight for me and protect me and love me in spite of all the ways I am still a wreck. I see home. Wherever he is. That's my home." --Melanie Shankle (The Antelope in the Living Room)

Thankful for 4 years,

MJ

Family Pictures

So the last time we had family pictures professionally done Truett was not a part of our family, so for our anniversary gift/to get some pictures with Truett we had some done this year.  (Caroline Jurgensen Photography--we highly recommend them) We love them so much and I will treasure them for years to come!

Thankful for my family,

First Annual Friendsgiving

This past weekend we hosted our first annual friendsgiving. We have been blessed behind measure with the community of people we are surrounded with. We cleared our living room out and created one big long table, then spent time around the fire enjoying each others company. We fried and smoked a turkey (thanks AJ & Jeffrey) and everyone else provided sides, appetizers and dessert. It was night filled with food, laughter, and great company. I am so thankful for our home and for the relationships we have with these friends.

Thankful for November,
