Festivities

So I have decided I am horrible at blogging. This follows with I am horrible at keeping in contact and talking with family and friends often. I usually attempt in some way to be somewhat consistent at keeping in touch, but in the past year I have been particularly horrible. So I decided it was about past due enough to post once again my three months. I haven't been taking a lot of pictures really recent, but there are definitely enough to post some event from the past bit. It seems as though work keeps me so busy that all I want to do is veg with Nick or visit with friends.

Back in October, Nick and I drove down to Eugene to see Emily dance with a company called Breakdown. They are a group of awesome christian girls... and boys that love the Lord and dance for the Lord and do it wonderfully! It was so much fun to see, now Em and I need to get into the studio and get back into shape (me that is).


Sara (Em's mom) and I at Em's performance. Miller (her adorable tiny yorkie) is hiding under the brochures.


My mom came up to hang out with us for a weekend and we went to the Rose Garden. Not only had my mom never been there, but Nick proposed there so it was extra-special getting to show her where he asked!



We also carved pumpkins at our Monday night dinner. We have the dearest friends, Anne and Joe Kaplar, that we absolutely love hanging out with. They have dinner Monday's and we all get together and have a blast! Here are Janie and Anne carving...





I cannot lie Kennidy is definitely one of the most irresistible little ones out there. She is so intelligent, and soooo cute. I love her songs especially singing worship. You can see she loves her daddy so much in this pic. This is one of my favorite pictures for sure.



We also went to her b-day party. Em got her a cute stuffed animal that she was attached to all night. Please note: the only reason she was attached to this toy is because it was from Emily. Emily is her "best friend" and she often wants to come home with us:) It is really cute.




Nick and I also celebrated our six months being married and my b-day. I know we didn't celebrate these together, but I cannot remember which was what...yikes! The picture of Nick and I together was before going to Pambiche, which I am pretty sure was for my b-day. It is absolutely the most amazing food even, oh and Cuban so of course I love it!



So for celebrating our anniversary we did dinner and then came back home. Nick made a fire, which I had wanted one for SO long. It was wonderful! We also had a bottle of dessert wine that was this delicious little voigner from Walnut Creek Cellars in McMinneville. When I went wine tasting for the Bachelorette Party they gave me a bottle since it was labeled. It was fantastic!



Well since I work, work, work, I should go to bed. I hope to post about November soon:)
