-177- Foamy Figurines

I actually made these cute little Thanksgiving decorations before Halloween, but it's more appropriate that I feature them now that it's a little closer to Turkey Day. My mom sent these to me a year or two ago, but I hadn't ever displayed them until now. Why, you ask? Well, because these figurines are actually foam pieces that I've glued together - and I never had the chance to assemble them until now! They're the only Thanksgiving decorations we have so far, which is really sad, but I'll be getting more, don't you worry!

-176- Erased

You might recognize this whiteboard from my post entitled Love Forever, which I wrote soon after Justin and I married. Up until this evening, it said what Justin had written on it several months ago. We decided that this board may be better used to plan dinners, so I sadly erased the sweet messages that had been etched on since May. I know this has helped already, though, because it's more motivating for me to make a good meal when I have a plan. And as you can see, we are visiting friends and family this weekend, so that's definitely something to look forward to!

-175- Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November

This belongs to our new car.

Yes, you read that right - we bought a vehicle!

It's not exactly new, but it has low mileage and we got it for a lower price than we've seen at any other dealership. We've been looking around for a while online, but today decided to go test drive one - and we were hooked.

The new addition to the family is a 2011 "Tuscan Olive" Kia Sorento. I would have posted a picture of the SUV itself, but by the time we finished all the paperwork, it was dark outside.

I'm so excited! This will be the car I drive most of the time, since Justin has his nice red car, and we'll be selling my older car.

On another note, we did keep up with our November 5th tradition of watching V for Vendetta. For us, 11/5/11 is memorable because this was our first major purchase as husband and wife!

-174- Microsherpa

This is the cuddly fuzzy blanket we bought particularly to keep our comfy couch company. It's extremely soft - they called it "microsherpa" on the packaging. Not quite sure what that means, but it's soft and warm!

-173- Flat

Last night I boiled two eggs for my lunch today. I didn't crack them open until today during lunch, and both of them have these flat bottoms, and I have no idea why. It was weird, but at least they didn't roll away when I put them down!

-172- Breezy

Boy, was it windy today! This resulted in nasty Wind Hair. Rebekah knows what Wind Hair is, but for the rest of you, let me enlighten you: it is the smelly, tangled, messed up, greasy hair that is the product of windy days. And as you can see, it can be painful to comb out.

-171- Calendar Days

I totally can't believe it's November! How weird. I feel like it was just last month that it was February and we were having all those ice storms... and we didn't have to go to school for about a week and we got to play in the snow and enjoy movies and hot tea all day! I've been missing my old roommates a lot lately. We have a lot of good memories together!

I'm hoping Justin and I find a church soon; I miss having friends nearby, and I'm thinking (and praying) that I'll make new friends at whatever church we join. It's hard finding a church... and I hope we don't have to do this for a long time after this!
