We fried a turkey

November 26, 2012

Happy Monday after the holiday! I wanted to keep it light today as I’m sure, like me, you’re still exhausted from the weekend. I did my best to relax yesterday but with the holidays in full swing that was more difficult than I would have liked.

I mentioned Walker and I went Oregon to spend our Thanksgiving with friends. It was our first adult Thanksgiving. By that I mean it was the first time the meal was fully prepared by us. Our friends were set on frying the turkey which seemed a little freaky especially after seeing those insurance commercials. We were extra careful and we were quite successful! It was cooked perfectly and tasted great along with all the other sides we prepared.

Also next Monday I will choose an email subscriber to win one of my holiday necklaces. If you are not on the list be sure to get on it!






Happy Thanksgiving!

We’re off in Eugene, Oregon having Thanksgiving with some good friends from Austin that moved out this way the same time we did! Isn’t that great! It’s also our first time to Oregon so we’re trilled! I’ll share all about it when we get back. Enjoy your day!

Here is a picture from last Thanksgiving to hold you over.

Sunny day adventure

November 13, 2012

This is one of the first weekends in quite some time that Walker and I have been able to explore. He had been studying so hard for the test he took last week and now he gets to relax a bit. Woo!

I had it in my head that I’d like to see one of the beached in town so we trekked it to Golden Gardens by bus and by foot. We walked along the beach a bit, looked at rocks and driftwood, and took a few pictures. It was such a sunny day but don’t let that fool you, it was super cold out. I was wearing wool mittens nearly all day long.

We took our time getting home and stopped half way for a happy hour and a couple of beers before hopping back on the bus to go home. Walker and I had a bit of a miscommunication about where to get off the bus and we ended up downtown. I for one was ok with it because they’ve started to put holiday lights up and it was really pretty.
