November has been another crazy month for us. Between working and trying to make our house our home (on a budget), we have had our hands really full! Chris decided to participate in "No Shave November" this month, so it's been funny to watch him progress to full blown redneck :)
Chris has been wanting to go to Corsair Distillery, so we headed downtown one afternoon for a fun tour and tasting. It is in the old Marathon Car Plant, so the building in itself is very cool to look at.
I LOVE Ikea, and ever since we moved into our house I have been wanting to make a trip down to Atlanta to shop til I drop! Mom and I met Kim in Chattanooga and we all drove down together. While I lived in Atlanta a few years ago, I had heard lots about a restaurant called the Varsity, but had never made it out there. We stopped there for lunch. It is a super cute building, with decent food for a good price. Fun!
The Corks, the Minks, and The Gardners all decided since we live in Hendersonville now, that Sunday night dinners would be an amazing idea. We hosted the first one and it was so much fun! My work had our Christmas party at my manager's new house. It was nice to be able to relax with everybody and enjoy some good food! I was also blessed to get to spend time with my mom seeing the Rockettes! Now I just have to figure out how to make my legs look like theirs.
I had the privilege of going to read and craft with a kindergarten class. We read "The Hungry Caterpillar" and then made our own caterpillars eating our favorite foods. It was our year for Thanksgiving with my family, so we had a pretty chill day. Chris had to work at 3, so we had an early lunch and then Mom and I put up her Christmas tree and watched Monster's Inc and Monster's University. We had some wintery mix last week and Zeppelin enjoyed running around like a banshee in the backyard.
Chris's family came in to town to celebrate Thanksgiving with us as well. We enjoyed dinner as a family at Chop House, and then on Saturday, we took them to the Corvette Factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It was so much fun, and Dan was like a kid in a candy store!
As you can see, Chris's beard has grown significantly since the beginning of the month. I am ready for December 1st so it can all come off!
As we head into the Christmas season, I can't help but think of how blessed we are. We both have jobs, we have a new house, we are both covered by the precious blood of Jesus, we both got to know my sweet Mamaw and learn from her how to trust Jesus through all things, and we get to spend the rest of this crazy life together. I have never been more thankful for the people we get to walk through life with and I am excited to spend the next few weeks celebrating the real reason for the season.
