Kenneth tackles a turkey!

For our Friends and Fellowship bible study we wanted to have a Thanksgiving themed dinner, meaning cooking our first turkey. We marinated it in a beer brine and then cooked away! I think it turned out great! 

Book Character Day

Our 2nd grade team dressed to the nines last Friday for Book Character Day. Everyone's costume was so awesome and our 2nd graders looked adorable too!

Vintage Park Art Festival

On Saturday I got to have a mother-daughter day with my mom and I and Ashley, one of my best friends from college, and her mom. It was so much fun getting to catch up and hang out while perusing through the art/craft fair.

While we were there, my mom knew of a secret horse exhibit still in the making and we got to have a "behind the scene" look before they were all done. The horses are very similar to the traveling painted cow exhibit, only the horses all benefit NAM. I'm not sure when or where they will be displayed, but the ones that were already finished were so beautiful!

1st Halloween :)

We had so much fun with our pumpkin this year. Kenneth chose a ghost cut-out that was just perfect. He should really go into the pumpkin carving business. 

We sat on our drive way; passing out candy, getting to know our neighbors better and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. There were so many kids that we ran out of candy!

Livin in fast forward!

This week was extremely busy!

Monday: We had Schlotzsky's over at Kenneth's parents house and watched our weekly episode of Lost (we are currently in the last season!)

Tuesday: I met up with my bible study gals to drink margaritas and have some quality girl time 

Wednesday: Daily Mass and then straight to Kenneth's softball game at Memorial park

Thursday: We went to a ROC happy hour at Malia's house. It was really awesome to meet the candidates running for the CyFair school board and to hear what they believe in. (Don Ryan, John Ogletree, Bob Covey)

Friday: We went to the Prince of Peace Gala for their outreach ministry. It was at the Tomball Grand Pavillion and was really nice! My parents won a wine cooler and 15 bottles of wine in the silent auction. During the live auction we really wanted to win a vacation to Colorado for the family but it went for wayyyy more than we were willing to bid. 

Saturday: We watched the Horns lose horribly. Not the best way to start off the weekend. Afterward to cheer us all up, we went to the Coles Crossing Craft Fair. We got a beautiful cross that has a harvest bounty in the middle of it. We topped the night of by early voting as a tribe and then eating at Kilburn's tavern and dessert at Orange Leaf.

Sunday: Church started us off and then I went to a bridal shower at the Blackhorse Country Club. It was very fun and beautiful there. Kenneth and I wrapped up the weekend by both doing work on our computers (I was grading for the end of the 9 weeks and he was meeting deadlines).

And there you have it. I got tired just writing all of that down. Hopefully this next week will be a little more relaxing :)

Blog Invitation Accepted

The Blogger user Kenneth and Taryn has invited you to contribute to the blog: Kenneth and Taryn.

I decided I would oblige.

Yesterday Taryn and I celebrated our 10 month wedding anniversary as well as four years as a couple. I am incredibly blessed to be married to such an amazing bride!

I really thought I was computer literate.

But turns out I am not. I spent the first 2 hours trying to figure out how to be a citizen of the 21st century and learn how to blog. Still trying to figure out how to change my background to something that I actually like. I even watched a youtube video and I still was lost! Maybe one of my very savvy Bible study gals will hook me up with a quick lesson.

Blog number one under my belt!
