Happy Thanksgiving


Our friends the Tuckers hosted Thanksgiving


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We enjoyed our day with friends. I took a couple of pictures and realized that I didn't take any of all the food we had. I had the chance to make a couple of new recipes and I told myself I would take pictures later. I forgot that "later" doesn't work out b/c then all the food is gone.
This year I made Rachael Ray's apple and onion stuffing, Paula Dean's stuffing, Paula Dean's apple caramel cheesecake and sausage balls. I did do a little shopping this morning but I steered clear of the crazy shoppers out there. Today I am also putting up our Christmas stuff. I'll take pictures of our first Christmas in our new house.

Fall Festival

This years Fall festival at church.

For some reason Josh is wearing my apron. I think so he wouldn't forget to bring it home.

The egg toss. I was not Josh's partner. I preferred to be a spectator.



Some of the great decorations made by Debbie and friends.

We had a great turnout and I spent a lot of time preparing for the festival. Needless to say this was also the weekend we were trying to paint our new house. Did I mention I don't like painting. We actually moved in this past weekend and are up to our eyeballs in boxes with little to no time to unpack. I only have 2 1/5 weeks left of class before finals start so I will have time to settle in after that. I will post some updated pictures of the house when it actually looks presentable.

Memory Walk



To the left of this picture is Richard and Ginger from the TLC show "The Real Estate Pros" They live in Charleston and there show is based here. Ginger's sister was one of the organizers for the event.

Last weekend we participated in the Memory Walk with some of my students. It was a lot of fun and we had a really nice weather day. We closed on the house last week so this weekend we have started painting. Did I mention I hate painting. I do not have the patience for it. We have Fall Festival at our church today so I have also been busy preparing for that. Next weekend is our official move date.
