Thanksgiving 2016!

Our Thanksgiving looked a little different this year since we visited my family in Charlotte first!

The weekend before Thanksgiving we headed to Charlotte on Friday. We attended Laura & Todd's wedding on Saturday night with family and friends. It was beautiful and very windy :-) 

On Sunday, we had Thanksgiving lunch at Mom's! She cooked all of our favorite Thanksgiving foods. It was so good to have all my siblings in one place too. We haven't all been together in a long time!!

Since I had the week off and Andy had to work, I stayed in Charlotte until Wednesday. Lewisburg offers a super cheap flight to and from Charlotte, so Andy drove back and I flew back. 

Once Andy got home from work on Wednesday, we drove to his parents house. We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday evening and then we (mostly Andy & Eric) decorated their Christmas trees!

We stayed up super late playing Phase 10 with Andy's family and it was a lot of fun. We went home on Friday night and then we had the weekend to relax at home and prepare for Christmas! We are so very blessed and thankful. 

November Highlights

November has been a *little* less eventful than October :-) I thought I'd add a few highlights before Thanksgiving gets here! 

Bonfires with friends

Homemade chicken pot pie

The election :: ok so the highlight of this was that it's OVER.

Cabin weekend with our favorites

Halloween + Andy's Birthday

Andy's birthday post may always be paired with Halloween ;-) 

After our fun-filled October, we had a very low-key Halloween. Once Andy got home from work, we just ate dinner, baked some cookies, and watched Halloween movies. It was perfect. We didn't even turn our porch light on considering we only had one group of trick or treaters last year ;-)

My sweet husband turned 27 on Tuesday and we celebrated with dinner & cake! 

I'm so grateful to have Andy as my husband. He is so hard-working and he loves so well. I hope his 27th year is amazing and I can't wait to see what is in store!

We also have plans to stay with his parents this weekend to celebrate some more :-)

Fall Beach Getaway

Y'all. I have a new love affair with the beach in October. I mean, I always love the beach but this weekend was SO amazing. The weather seriously could NOT have been better. We stayed with Amy and Tyler for the weekend and we arrived to Litchfield Beach late Thursday night.

We woke up to a gorgeous day on Friday (in the 70s!) and we just hung out and enjoyed the beach all day.

We cooked a crock pot meal Friday night and got to spend some time with my Nana and Aunt Darlene. 

On Saturday, we met my Nana and Aunt Darlene in Murrells Inlet for lunch. It was another beautiful day and we walked around on the marsh walk. 

Saturday night we attended Harrison and Kathleen's wedding. They are two of Andy's friends from law school. It was such a beautiful venue and we really enjoyed the festivities!

We made one last walk out to the beach on Sunday morning and ended the weekend having breakfast with Amy and Tyler. 

We love traveling with these best friends so much! We agreed that we should go to the beach together every October :-)
