Settling in

So we moved to our new rental house in September and I am just now feeling like things are finding their proper place and it half way looks finished. I spent the better part of today finally pulling out the few holiday decorations I have and have been enjoying the corny Christmas movies on tv while sipping on my coffee ALL day. Justin is out of town on yet another hunting excursion so, obviously, Ive been in my pajamas all weekend (except Saturday because I worked) doing nothing, and its been splendid.

As for updating yall on life, me and my friend Becca just joined BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) and have our first real meeting tomorrow night. For those of you unfamiliar, its a Bible study for all denominations under the Christian faith and is focused on learning to read and understand the Word. There are 8 years worth of lessons and this year we are studying Acts and the Apostles. We are in Hebrews and I gotta say my first lesson is intense, however its exciting to be challenged.

Me and Justin were blessed to be able to attend our families Thanksgivings this past month and got good visits in. Sadly enough I did have to miss the McCoy Thanksgiving and am hoping to be able to see them for Christmas. I had myself a pity party when I learned everyone was there but us, however, I was able to have an entertaining time with Justin's family in Ballinger which lifted my spirits.We are excited for a jam-packed Christmas weekend. Here is a picture of my family (of course missing Kylie,Eric, and the boys) at the Fry Thanksgiving. Arent we just beautiful?
On other note, Ive got lots up plans for our house and am eager to finish my projects so I can finally give a glance of our new place! We are building an apothecary media console, a decorative ledge for picture frames in the living room, a headboard, and later on a coffee table and side table. We will be busy these coming weeks, wish us luck!
