Turkey

Turkey

So, I’ll admit it. Only two pictures in this post feature turkey. I’m pretty much just sharing some random pictures from my life lately. Here we go!

This is what I do in night class. I’m almost positive all of my classmates thing I’m really weird.

Hannah, my mom, and I went to a Christmas craft fair at a local church on Friday. We purchased some ornaments and turkey sandwiches!

Brandy and Moses melt my heart.

Lola melts my heart, too. Especially when she sits on benches with me.

I bought a $5 milk frother off of Amazon and I love it. I may or may not have frothed a full glass of soy milk just for fun the day it came in the mail… I like froth, okay?! (After I typed that, I started thinking about how froth is such a weird word).

So, I kind of lived up to my turkey themed post. I drew a turkey, posted a picture of a turkey sandwich, and now I’m off to run at my school’s annual turkey trot 5k race!

What are you up to this weekend?
After the race, I’ll probably do homework. On Sunday, I’m going shopping with my church for Shiloh!

Good Times + Good News

Hey! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving.

My family from New York arrived at my house around 2 a.m. on Wednesday, and they’re still here.. woo! We’ve all been hanging out at my house, traversing the Pittsburgh area, eating good food, and laughing a lot.

Thanksgiving food preparations began on Tuesday night, with my mom and I baking almond and pumpkin cookies. Wednesday morning, I made pumpkin pie and banana cream pie. My mom made an apple pie and my aunt made cheesecake. Dessert city!
The turkey was fully cooked around 2:30 p.m., and we ate around 3:00p .m.! We had turkey, sage-sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, broccoli, corn, biscuits, coleslaw, and cranberry sauce. I thought it was very goofy, but we also had ketchup and sriracha at the table :p. Good food and a messy table. I swear my family isn’t usually that messy… we were just looking at Black Friday advertisements!

Me, Hannah, and Molly (one of our cousins). We didn’t plan on matching by wearing black t-shirts. Just a coincidence!

Mom + Dad looking all adorable and whatnot ❤

Everyone gathered in our tiny living room to watch my favorite football team (the Dallas Cowboys) lose.

My mom and aunt left to go shopping around 7 p.m. (crazy). Everyone else gathered around the fire.For a little while, it was just my dad and I sitting by the fire. I don’t get to talk to him one-on-one very often because he’s always busy with work. We were able to sit together and talk for about an hour, just me and him. I think that was my favorite part about Thanksgiving. I love my dad :).

Also, I have some good news. My truck isn’t totaled and I might be getting it back sometime next week!

I learned the good news on Thanksgiving and I was very thankful! It was crazy to think that the crash happened on Halloween, and I finally heard back on Thanksgiving. I am so excited to get my baby back! Every time Pittsburgh had warm weather the past few weeks, I wanted to wash my truck, and then I would realize that I couldn’t. Now I can! But it’s supposed to snow this week. LOL.

I have more pictures to share, but I don’t want to make this post too long. I’m off to work, and then spending the day with my family because they leave tomorrow.

How was your Thanksgiving?
