The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy. It all started when we moved in to Teddy's parents house last week. You can read about that here. Of course, if you want a more detailed run-down, you can always email me! :) Just know that it was a total answer to prayer, especially in this housing market...and something we are very thankful for :)
Speaking of being thankful, Thanksgiving didn't exactly allow us to slow down any. It was a non-stop weekend that started with Jamie and Josh coming in town Wednesday night! Thursday morning we had breakfast at my Dads house and then headed to Teddy's Aunt Carol's for the traditional Thanksgiving Feast! (the opposite of how we did it last year...) It was sooo good!

Friday morning I headed out bright and early with all the crazies on Black Friday. I have to be honest, I pretty much live for this day. Whoever created this 'holiday' is a genius! It's becoming a tradition to get BREW and then head to the Galleria with Lauren and Jen! 2 years going strong :)

After a long day of shopping (and some great deals!) We had a very relaxing sunset dinner cruise on the sailboat down off of Key Biscayne with Teddys family.

just a funny one taken at the dock...
On Saturday Teddy had a volleyball tournament down on South Beach! It was the perfect day to just lay around and get some sun! And yes, at almost 36 weeks...Im still rockin the bikini! yikes! They came in second...way to win back all the money I spent on Black Friday babe! :) ha!Teddy in the final game...

And finally Sunday came, after church we stayed East for the afternoon and hung out with some friends that we never got to see before we 'headed west'. The highlight was definitely meeting little baby Eva, born on 11/23/08! Too cute, and I can't believe we'll have one of those in just a couple of weeks...
On Saturday night we celebrated the wedding of Todd and Stephanie. My sister was the maid-of-honor and the wedding was beautiful...and full of tattoos!

Now I leave with you a few 'randomosities' for the holiday season...
- I love the smell of Christmas trees, and the Evergreen scent @ Bath & Body
- Has anyone ever noticed that they sell fire wood @ Publix...really?
- The Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate @ Starbucks is life-changing...
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! And here's to a wonderful Christmas season!
