Back to life, Back to reality

Please excuse my sudden hiatus from blogging. I felt guilty every day that passed, but sometimes I have to work on making life go ’round rather than showcasing it. November has been packed from start to finish. I mentioned I was running around like mad trying to get the house ready for Thanksgiving. I also had a ton of freelance, turned 29 (ouch!!!), went to Memphis (Guide to come), and managed a variety of other household renovations/tasks.

But yes, Thanksgiving was a really special occasion. Daryle’s mom and dad traveled to see us and meet my parents and younger brother. Our great friend, Alicia also came to dine and socialize too. I prepared a bunch of food: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, caramelized/maple brussel sprouts and sweet potato pie. My parents brought homemade mashed sweet potatoes, tomato pie, creamed parsnips, cranberry concoction, a pumpkin tort and apple pie, and fried a second turkey in the backyard. We ate until our bellies were stuffed and drank until we were passing out. It was a memorable time to have with family and friend. :)

Now onto the holidays! I plan to post a gift guide in the coming days. Stay tuned.
