November is for Giving Thanks (#21-30)

21.  Peppermint Mocha's: By no means do we go to Starbucks everyday, but peppermint mocha coffee creamer is totally affordable. I enjoyed my first one of the season today.
22.  Surprise Dates: Allen and I enjoyed an impromptu dinner date at Carrabba's Italian Grill. Then we finished the evening off by watching JFK documentaries to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his assassination. It's amazing how much neither of us knew about the entire occasion.
23.  Babies: I got to babysit two of my kiddos from LP this evening. I forgot how much I really enjoyed playing and snuggling with those sweet little ones.
24.  Lazy Sundays: Allen and I didn't even leave the apartment today. We slept late, watched Sunday Morning, I worked on Christmas crafts, he watched football, and we ordered pizza for dinner. It was a good day.
25.  Intercession: The students are already on Thanksgiving Break, but the university is still open. Traffic is so much light today. I got home in 10 minutes. Amazing!
26.  A chance of snow: I refuse to give up hope that it might actually snow today or tomorrow. Finger a crossed and the snow dance has been done. Come on snow!
27.  Snow: Although we didn't get any of the white fluffy stuff in Athens, Allen and I drove through it on our way up to Brevard. It was so beautiful.
28.  Family: Both biological, and future in-law. I am so lucky to be surround by wonderful people.
29.  Nature: I prefer to stand back and enjoy nature, but today we took a small hike through the DuPont State Forest to see the waterfalls from The Hunger Game. Nature blows my mind. Beautiful!
30.  Wedding planning: Sometimes I want to pull my hair out, but we really are making great progress. Today we confirmed our officiant. Marcus is a long time family friend of the Pratt's. We couldn't ask for anyone better for our big day.
