We Give Thanks

Jake and I spent the holiday with his side of the family in Highland this year. We had a blast with the Nelson group and some cousins this week. Dinner was so delicious and the company was even better. I love being with family! We had lots of fun playing games, shooting clay pigeons, watching movies, stuffing our faces every meal and just hanging out.

What a team

All the girls went to Twighlight on Saturday. I thought the movie was great. I was expecting a let down. But they did a pretty good job. This is Jentry and I in the back seat so excited for the movie.

I was born on Election Day

I turned 22 on the 4th. I was expecting a normal week day but Jake made it so fun! He got up early with me and made bacon and eggs, my fav. When I got through with school I stopped into the polls and CAST MY VOTE...my first time might I add. (Last election was two days before my 18th birthday) Jake had a yummy lunch all ready for me when I got home. I opened my cards and gifts from our family and decided to go work a few hours that afternoon. When I got home Jake had the best surprise waiting by the door for me. He made this BEAUTIFUL table for our doorway!

He set my other gifts neatly on top for me to see all at once. The table is so amazing. The colors match the other furniture he's made for me. With the red paint scuffed through. I had just barely mentioned to him that it would be nice to have a skinny, little table to set against the wall earlier that week! He whipped it up in only a few hours. I can't get enough of how sweet and wonderful he is. What a handy man!

Call me immature but I did ask for the Disney Princess collection. I'm NOT gonna grow out of it.

And.... I know I'm super spoiled, there's more. But he also picked up this dish drying rack and new cheese grater for the kitchen. He remembers everything I say! What a great guy.

We went out to Calloways for dinner and had a blast snickering about our feminine waiter. Jake will always be my favorite person to laugh with. I love his clever personality.

My wonderful hubby is also a natural BETTY CROCKER. He made this peach pie from scratch that afternoon! Can you read what it says in the crust? It was delicious needless to say.

So we had our pie and ate it too... (I never understood what that meant) while we watched the election status. We were disappointed when they announced our new president. I'm a little frightened honestly with the country's decision. But that didn't ruin my day. See my cheezy grin?

Thanks for all your hard work and patience Jake! Love you hun!
