Thanksgiving Weekend

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Jenny and I celebrated a very laid back Thanksgiving thanks to Dream Dinners. They made it so easy and yummy. We even got bored waiting for the turkey to cook because everything was done already! There were hardly any dishes to do and everything turned out so well. We ended up with a lot of leftovers. I think I've had about 4 Thanksgiving dinners since and I'll still be eating turkey for a while.

I have so much to be thankful for this year too. I really took a look at what God has done for me this year, and through all the ups and downs, I am so thankful to have His Love and guidance with me through everything. He has given me incredible loving friendships to help me through my loneliness and tough times. He's provided absolutely anything I could possibly want and helped me financially throughout the year. He's given me a wonderful opportunity to teach children at church and continues to grow that ministry. And He continues to reveal Himself to me and show me His Love in new ways all the time, allowing me to grow in Him and receive the gifts He has for me. What a wonderful Father we have!

Friday, I avoided any type of retail store around. The sales just weren't worth it to me. Friday night, Jenny and I drove down to Santa Monica to meet with my friend Jenn from Monterey and two of her friends. We had a fun girl's night out at The Border Grill. The food was pretty good, especially the dessert.

Today, I helped Jenny hang lights on her house and we both put our Christmas trees up. This picture doesn't really do mine justice. It's much prettier in person. Tomorrow, I'll put up some lights on my balcony and put the rest of the decorations out. I suppose now that Christmas is just a month away, it's not too early! Hope everyone is having a great Holiday Season so far!
