Thanksgiving Happenings

So much is going on...sorry for the delay in updating the blog!

The wedding is less than a month away and we are pumped! We'd hoped more people would have been able to join us for our big day, but we cherish the quality time we'll get to spend with those most important to us who are coming.

Left to do for the wedding: finalize caterer and cake people and order favors. So much depends on how many people R.S.V.P.!

In other happenings...Matt and I bought a house this week!! We've been looking around online and found a house plan we really liked. The slab for the house is poured and it should be finished at the end of February.

Here are a few pictures of the model home:

The house plan on a slab foundation
The model home -- this is on a basement, which makes it look larger

Kitchen - we'll get to pick the lights over the island, backsplash and refrigerator

Family room - we won't have the tv cabinet above the fireplace

Closer look at the front of the model home (since it is on a basement, there are more steps up than we will have)

Front door - our door will be a little different, but we'll have the stone finish around the porch

Front porch is big enough for two rocking chairs, maybe a swing...who knows?

Stairs...the spindles are an upgrade the builder threw in for us

So much to be thankful for this year: new job, new location, my wonderful fiance (soon to be husband), our new house, wonderful family and friends and the blessings we are continued to be blessed with.

Today is the start of my favorite time of year: Christmas!!! I love the smells, the sights, the sounds...and as always, it's important to remember the real reason for the season and make sure we don't get caught up in commercialism.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!

Until next time...
