Give Thanks

It's a rainy day here in Tallahassee. Our friends a deep-frying a turkey for us & the rain has delayed the cooking for a little while. But I'm okay with that. Charlie didn't get off work until 10 p.m. last night & they have to be in at 5 a.m. tomorrow, so he's sleeping late. I have plenty of projects I can work on to pass the time.

I guess the big news is that we decided a few weeks ago to put our house up on the market. Yes, it's not the right time to do this, but it's something that we've discussed and we are willing to take a chance & try. Besides, our good friend is a Realtor and she's giving us some really good advice. I really didn't think it would be so hard but my pack-rat tendencies have followed me again and things are appearing EVERYWHERE! As I get rooms completed, I'll post some pictures. I was going to clean off the back deck today, but the rain has made a good old mess of things.

We would really like to be able to move once the baby comes (February 28th). Charlie is ready to move on to something new & I can't blame him. But he has no real leads, so please keep him & us in your prayers. We've discussed a few different options, but nothing definitely.

I wish everyone a wonderfully filling Thanksgiving Day!

A Late Halloween

Just wanted to share some pictures of Dane in his costume and some other Halloween stuff.

Our front door entrance. I nailed some branches to the ceiling and draped some Spanish moss and orange lights. Made a good spooky feeling.

Now I'm ready to move on! Just had to give one last shout-out to my fav holiday. Although I saw a beautiful layout for Thanksgiving in the November issue of Romantic Homes. Looked like a cross between Carol Hicks Bolton & Tracy Porter. Loved it!! It was all set outside. Since we'll stay home for Thanksgiving, I might see if I can re-create some of the elements. As long as we get our deep-fried turkey, I'll be alright!!
