Happy Thanksgiving!!

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with everyone but my dad. We will be celebrating with him on Sunday. He had to go out of town because my grandpa had surgery yesterday. Praise God he came through it on top and is getting better.

We enjoyed lots of good food and laughs at moms. We had a good time playing with Anna and Kara. They are always a highlight to every visit.

They are so beautiful!!

Josh and Anna.

Luke was enjoying a good rub

Josh is going to be a very good daddy one day!!! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband!!

Josh and Kara

Isn't this a beautiful arrangement!! As Anna and Kara would say, "goble, goble."

Just us girls

I goofed on the order of the pictures. We had lunch with Josh's family and dinner with mine. Unfortuantly, we did not take many pictures at lunch because the batteries died on Josh's camera.

Josh's cousin Besty.

We went to Josh's aunt and uncle's house to see his side of the family. The food was amazing and so was the fellowship.

Uncle Jim and me. The best cook around!!!!!!!

Every year God has filled our life with so many new blessings. We are thankful for a wonderful God centered marriage, awesome health, our church, the awesome opportunity God has opened up for Josh to work in the ministry full time, my wonderful job, our beautiful home, our loving dog, we are also thankful for all of the people that God has sent into our life to be supportive and excited for the destiny that God has on our life. To our family and friends we love you and Happy Thanksgiving. We hope everyone had a blessed day.

Just a few pictures from this weekend

Macy is ready for Christmas!!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Busy Saturday!

Our Christmas Tree was delivered today. We haven't started decorating it yet b/c we had other stuff to do today. We will probably start decorating tomorrow. I can't wait. We had to redecorate our living room.

I painted over the color we didn't like. I love the new color. Next weekend we are going to be painting the rest of the living room that color. Josh and I decided to take it in stages.

We took pictures for our Christmas card. This is one of many that we took.

What a weekend!!

This weekend was pretty busy. On Friday, we did some stuff around the house. I meet up with my mom to see Anna and Kara and to give mom her MP3 player that Josh got off of ebay for her. Saturday marked our annual church conference. Saturday night we enjoyed Martha Munizzi in concert. She was awesome!!!! She also spoke at our first service this morning. Pastor Israel spoke at our second service. We had service tonight with Pastor Al Brice and the CLFC choir. They have an amazing worship team. Tomorrow night and Tuesday we will have Pastor Tim Bagwell from Colorado. So far every service has been amazing and God has moved so strong. I know the rest of the week is going to continue to be like that. I am so excited about what God is doing in our life and in our families lives. I can not wait to see what is to come!!!

Our Trip to New York

We went to New York on Wednesday of last week and came home on Sunday. Our Pastor was running in the New York Marathon to help raise money for Judah Cuba. So they asked us to come along. Pastor Israel did an awesome job on Sunday running. We were very proud of him.

On Thursday, we spent all day in New York. We went to every major site in New York. We started early and got home really late. The nightlife in New York is amazing. We did some sightseeing, shopping, and eating. Friday, we went to Central park to get Pastor Israel registered for the race and he had a photosession. We continued to roam the city trying to see all that could be seen. On Saturday, Josh went to the photography convention, Pastor Israel rested up for the race, and we went shopping and got massages. Good stuff. All of Sunday was spent in Central Park cheering him on as he ran. We had a great time!! Our tour guides were the best!!! We are so thankful they asked us to go!!! Oh did I mention how good the food was. We enjoyed lots of ethnic food and pizza. We walked a lot so I did not feel bad for eating.

Josh took a lot of pictures. We are going to use them to decorate the huge wall in our living room.

Tons of people everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday morning before the race we made posters at Starbucks. We wanted to show our support.

Time Square.

We are wearing the same outfit in a lot the pictures because we did most of the main attractions in one day. Lots of walking.

Ground Zero.

We took a boat ride around the Hudson River.

HappyBirthday MOM!!

Josh and I celebrated my mom's birthday. We had a great meal and fellowship. This weekend we relaxed and did nothing. I have fighting being sick all week. I enjoyed the rest and Josh picked out great movies. Wednesday we will be leaving for New York...I am so excited. We will be posting lots of pictures next week.

Birthday Girl!!

The girls like to pick mom's mums and give to everyone. They are growing up so fast.

Kara, Mom, and Anna hanging out on the front porch.

Relaxation...well kind of

This weekend Josh and I tried to relax but ended up working a little on the house. He patched the walls and I cleaned. On Friday, we went to the fair and enjoyed good food. The rest of the weekend we did projects around the house. I think we both enjoyed being home. Our living room with new pillows and tables. As you can see the lower part of the room is painted. We are trying to find another color to paint the entire room. Neither of us liked the color up there now once it was painted. You live and learn!! As you can see we have a lot to paint in the living room.

Macy sporting her new sweater..and ten minutes later she ate it off!!!

Josh's assistant

This is where Josh removed our doorbell. He put it on the other side of the wall. He is patching the wall in the living room. I was a little scared!! It turned out very nice.

After moving in we found that our attic did not have a light in it. So...Josh installed one yesterday. He was very proud of his work.

Painting

This weekend we painted our kitchen. You can also see the partly finished kitchen table. We are missing 4 chairs. I finished those the other night. I love the kitchen. It looks a lot darker in person...so you should come see it. Melanie, Charity, and myself had a really good time Thursday night and part of Friday painting. We enjoyed singing old church songs and talking while we painted. Josh was busy moving the door bell and and laughing at us. Josh started painting the living room but we soon found out that we did not like the color we picked out. So we found another color and will start painting that next weekend. I am not looking forward to tackling that room!!!!!! Melanie and Charity have promised their services to help bring color to our house. Friday night Josh wasn't feeling well so we hung around the house and enjoyed a few movies. It was nice to veg. Saturday I cleaned and he painted. Of course Sunday was very busy with church.

This is what Macy did all night long. She is a good supervisor!!

Charity standing back looking at all the streaks she left on the wall. We had a problem with the first coat but it got fixed!!

Melanie our professional painter did all our trim work. Thank God for her!!! She worked really hard and did a great job.

Our old/new kitchen table

Josh sanding our kitchen table that I painted. Josh is quit the handy man!! We had to sand it again before putting another coat on it. It is going to look very nice with my pumpkin orange walls in the kitchen.

Trip to High Point

Grandma Smith and Bill hanging out with us on Saturday. We enjoyed talking with them!!

Grandma and Grandpa King

Josh and I went to High Point Friday night to visit with my family and we had a wedding consultation. We enjoyed going out to eat Friday night and hanging out around the house and catching up on all the lastest news with the family. Did I mention grandma sent food home with us...mmmmm good. The good thing is we get to see you guys again in two weeks. YEAH!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!
