Our Thanksgiving 2012

My husband was able to spend Thanksgiving with me and it was absolutely wonderful! I'm so glad we decided on a whim to have him be here with me.

I asked him multiple times what he wanted for Thanksgiving Dinner, and he kept saying turkey & ice cream cake. Don't worry, we ate more than turkey & ice cream cake. :)

By this point I was wishing we could just go out for dinner. Glad we didn't, though.

The picture above was taken moments before the platter just collapsed. Fantastic! Luckily we got a ton of beautiful platters for our wedding so I quickly replaced it. 

I'm not a chocolate person but my husband is-- these are just box brownies and break and bake cookies. I know, I suck. 

Our favorite! 

Yup, that's 1 stick of butter just on the top. It wasn't a low fat day. 

I wish I was better about taking photos of what we ate. Whoops. Clearly you can see where my heart is-- dessert and mashed potatoes. Ha. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, rolls (burnt by yours truly), and lots of dessert. We also had a cheese ball for an "appetizer" that I believe I ate on my own. 

While I slaved away in the kitchen, my husband did a lot of this:

He was all hopped up on eggnog.

And this..

(Facetime/phone calls with his parents)

My husband is such a sucker for Cocoa's begging. It annoys me to no end that he will give her turkey like that! Judge us all you want, but please don't send me any emails or comments about it-- my inbox is overflowing. :) 

The aftermath..

My friend mailed me the white candles for our first Thanksgiving. Love her!

Keep an eye out for another post on what else we did! xO

The Past 6 Years

Six years ago today yesterday I started dating my now husband.

Neither of us know exactly how it happened because we were so young. Shoot, I don't even remember when I met him! We think it was when I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th grade. How sad is that? Guess that means you've been together a long time, maybe?

We were such little babies! 

FYI-- I would give away my left arm if my legs could be that skinny again. 

Here's to many, many more years! Love you N.

2 Things Are Making Me Sad This Week

No more Diet Coke!

I'll start with the worst part of my week. Remember how I mentioned going to the doctor? 

Yup, she said the 4 words I have dreaded hearing. 

When I left the appointment I had 3 left in my fridge. Being the addict that I am, of course I drank them. My husband and I kept looking online for something healthy and calorie free. If I was going to have something with calories, I might as well drink milkshakes all day. 

The VitaminWater Zero is okay. It's very sweet but it still has carbs in it. It has 3 or 5 in 1 bottle. I'm only having 1/4 of a bottle a day (and diluting it majorly in water) because I'm worried those carbs will go straight to my... 

Anyways! 

And then this happened. I have no reason as to why it fell! I was walking the dogs, holding keys and mail and boom. It hit the concrete hard face down. Kind of reminded me of this story..

I'm not upset about it because 1-- It works perfectly fine and 2-- It was my fault. I really don't mind having giant cracks across my phone for 2 more years. Yup, that's how long I have on my contract. :-)

So that was this week. What is next week going to bring me? xO
