Fall is Fun Take 2

Wow! I cannot believe it is already November. October is always a long month working in schools, but it sure did fly by this year. We had such a fun month making sweet memories and I'm gonna recap via my Iphone.

First up.. My Sweet niece Ruthie.. because I mean she is the cutest.. 

We went on our 3rd Whirlwind Weekend which actually go renamed to Girlwind weekend ) It was an all girls 24 hour trip to OKC! We had an absolute blast! 

Jeffrey got away for a boys weekend with his Dad.. He is definitely in his happy place here! 

I got to finally celebrate my sweet mom's birthday with a cooking class at Sur La Table! We had an absolute blast! 

TAYLOR SWIFT was one of the definite high lights of the month.. I mean we bought tickets over a year ago! She did not disappoint! Already ready for her next concert! 

Baylor Homecoming got rained out for us this year, but that did not stop us from having a blast! We had a brunch watching party and then ended the day at Dave & Busters playing games! Thankful we met our best friends at Baylor! 

My sweet friend Linda got baptized! It was incredible! 

We celebrated Halloween with VineVille and dressed up as the instagram girls! We spent Halloween weekend in Lubbock and I am shocked, but I got no pictures! We had a blast with the Joneses though! 

I also got some sweet time with my 3 boys! Boy am I thankful for them! 

Thankful for October, Pumpkins and sweet memories,

Fall is Fun Take 1

Well it might not quite feel like fall outside, but that does not mean we are not celebrating like it is. I love October, all things pumpkins, scarves and making sweet memories with friends and family. This fall is off to a great start!

3rd Annual Scarf Exchange is a great way to kick off the fall

Scarf Exchange Take 2

Some girls and I from my community group decided to start a tradition last year to kick off fall with a scarf exchange. This was NOT our idea at all in fact I got it from a blog I follow (mix and match mama..if you do not follow you should) Needless to say it was a blast last year so we carried on the tradition. It is a fun way to get us all together and get a new scarf out of the deal. I hosted it at my house this year and loved getting to put all the details together. Looking forward to many more! 

Thankful for Fall, 

MJ 

It's Fall!!

But it sure does NOT feel like it outside. Either way I am getting in total fall mode.

• I put all (the very few) decorations I have out. I made a list of a few other small decor items I want to get..just waiting for the right sale. 

• I had a pumpkin spice frappacino and a pumpkin spice cream muffin. 
• I got new leggings, long sleeve shirts and a sweater ON SALE @ J Crew. 
• I found a recipe for yummy bran muffins to eat all week long for breakfast. 

• See the breakfast recipe here Muffins
• I got my fall table stuff semi ready. I found cute plates and napkins to use for small group pumpkin waffle theme party this week (post about this later) 
• Found a yummy apple cider punch mix to make for our small group this week 
• Painted my nails a dark color to get ready for the week and found some new colors I want to invest in.. particularly the OPI matte colors

Despite the hot temperatures I am ready for fall: football, pumpkins, dark nail polish, boots, leggings, sweaters, chili, cooler temps, and all the fun that comes with this season. I am also praying that God changes my heart this fall in a way I have not experienced. I pray I become a better wife to Jeffrey. I pray that we really take the time to enjoy each other this fall and the time we get to spend together. I am praying I become more like Jesus has called me to be. I am praying that I love more and continue to deepen the relationships I am blessed with. With that being said HAPPY FALL YALL!!! 

Thankful for new seasons, 

MJ
