mile a day

joining Elise and running a mile a day from today to New Years

Happy Thanksgiving

that one time I made a kale smoothie and fell in love

kale, pear, green apple, carrots, banana, ice...blended to smooth, cold deliciousness

first birthday in looavul

it was a happy day; thankful for another birthday together

last friday night date night and this friday night date night

take out from Simply Thai

new Christmas ornament tradition

I'm going to be warm this winter

lately {november}

drinking hibiscus green tea (tea has never tasted so good) 

willing my hair to grow (all I notice is beautiful short hair) 

watching Once Upon a Time (I'm obsessed with Ginnifer Goodwin's hair. Not helping.) 

enjoying the smell of fresh limes every day 

trying to start using the library more (having books on a hold list is worse than waiting for Christmas) 

listening to strengthening your marriage in ministry 

shopping at Trader Joe's for almost all our groceries 

turning the air conditioners back on (the furnace in Fuller is a little suffocating) 

celebrating Andy's birthday 

eating Mrs. Amanda's pumpkin roll (thank you!) 

thinking of changes 

finding some good recipes (I've been stuck in a cooking rut) 

bundling up each morning 

loving roasted vegetables and hummus and pita 

planning a special date night someone blessed us with (thank you!) 

waiting anxiously for classes to end 

appreciating the little things 

thankful my mom came for a visit

birthday boy

Happy Birthday, my love. Here's to another great year of growing older with you.

birthday boy's dinner

I may have had about ten of these now...

My mom came up this weekend to visit and bring lots of wonderful surprises. It felt like she had never left since last time. We are so blessed with family and friends back home thinking of us and sending such thoughtful gifts.
