Our First Thanksgiving!


 Yay!  Mark and I survived our first holiday together, with both of our families none-the-less! We drove down to Coos Bay Wednesday evening after I got off work (at 3pm), and arrived in town around 7:30.  Not a bad drive at all, none of the roads were icy, so it made for a piece of cake drive.  That night we hung out with Marks family for a bit and then over to my parents house, and then Mark went back home to get some sleep.  I on the other hand stayed up seriously late with my parents and baby sister talking about God and life.  I love those kind of talks with family, and because I only get to see them once every few months, they rarely happen, it made my day awesome :).  The next day was Thanksgiving, YAY!  Oh my goodness I didn't realize how much work it was going to be trying to squeeze in enough time with both families.  I woke up early to have a 9 am (delicious) breakfast with Mark's parents, nephew and sister.  We ate crepes (apparently one of Marks favorite breakfast foods) and little mini wienies :) .  We hung out there until 11, made a quick trip to the grocery store and then headed over to my families house.  There we played Yahtzee with my little sister Shannon and my mom, then at 1 pm the Saints game came on, so we watched that with my dad until 2:45 when we headed back over to Mark's place.  There we ate our First Dinner, went on a nice walk, and relaxed in the living room, until 6, and then traveled back over to my house for Second Dinner.  Both were awesome, and we had a great time.  After dinner at my parents house we played a bit more Yahtzee (a favorite for the Boatright girls!) and then went upstairs to enjoy some music with my dad.  I love how excited he always is to play some of his favorite music for us.  He is a sweet sentimental guy, and his love for music (and his wife and children) is amazing.  While we were up there with my dad we ate some of the delicious pumpkin pie Mark and I had made the day before!  It was delicious, and I wish I had taken a photo! :(    I did however take photos of the yummy pumpkin pancakes we made with the leftover pie filling  (we added bisquick and milk).
Isn't he just scrumptious!

I hope everyone else had a fantastic Thanksgiving, can't wait for Christmas!!

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ

What I've been HALFway reading.

Guys. I've started around 512 books over the last few months. I haven't finished any. GAH. Here's just a few - Divergent by Veronica Roth. I'm so excited to actually keep reading this. I loved the movies but feel like the books are ALWAYS better. I haven't read much of this one yet because I feel guilty every time I pick it up. I always feel like I should be reading something that will improve me. I'll finish it some day. Simple Steps to Foot pain Relief by Katy Bowman, MS. I started reading this one for clients who have foot / knee / hip / back / shoulder pain. Basically any pain. I love trying to help my clients more than what they expect, so bits of information I can soak in and pass on are great! Katy Bowman does a great job breaking down the foot and then gives some awesome techniques on things you can do to help your feet. I'm close to done with this one actually, and thats good because it's due back at the library in a few days. Goo

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
