House Photos - Completed-ish

Ok, so what I've learned in this whole being a homeowner thing is that there's ALWAYS something to be done.  So when I say here's photos that are completed-ish...they're just that.




















Oops October

Oops, I missed October.  But what I've come to know in my new found walk with Jesus Christ is that the past is, well, the past.  Let it go.  So, toot-a-loo October...it's NOVEMBER!

November is my favorite month of the year for a LOT of reasons:
1.) it's my birth month - that's right, birth month.  Meaning I get to celebrate every chance I get that I was brought into this world!

2.) it's FALL!  Finally boot and jacket weather - my favorite!  Since moving I've continuously found boxes of sweaters, boots and scarves that I forgot I owned.  It's like Christmas every time I open another Rubbermaid bin and find something "new".

3.) Thanksgiving - do I really need to go into detail here?  Turkey, dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potato pie, and SECONDS of all those please!  This year I'll get to host Thanksgiving in my new home with my mom, stepfather and loving boyfriend - I can't wait!

4.) Football - not just football, cause lets be honest it's been going on for two months now, but I'm talking serious, hardcore, in-your-face, we-want-it-bad ball games.  There's only 4 games left in the regular college football season and I'm so blessed to get to go to TWO of them!  Can't wait to cheer on the Tigers in Death Valley next weekend and when they stomp the 'coots on the 24th!

5.) Oysters - I understand that most people think that you can eat 'em in months that have "R" in them, but I just can't bring myself to eat oysters in September and October.  The water is too warm - yucky.  November is the perfect month for oysters, fire and cold beer!

6.) It's almost Christmas! I love Christmas, I love buying Christmas presents, I love wrapping Christmas presents and I love decorating for Christmas - I freaking LOVE Christmas!  This year I get to spend it with my boyfriend IN Maryland!!!  Come on white Christmas!

7.) Hunting - prime weather for hopefully my first shot at a deer.  My boyfriend has been SO awesome at scouting and prepping me for my first kill - hopefully it will happen this month! 

8.) FIRE.  I love a good fire...and this chilly weather makes me want to kick back around one and share stories and fellowship.

9.) Cold weather food - chili, soup, pot roast, and all the other deliciousness that comes out of a kitchen in the fall to warm your body!

10.) Smells - I love the smells of Fall - granted, with the cold I have now I can't smell ANYTHING.  BUT, when I can smell it's apples and cinnamon, pumpkin, and Christmas spice that's gonna be burning in this gal's house!

So for November, I'm just going to let it be my favorite month and not have a resolution - if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

Cheers Yall!
