Welcome Friday!

Happy Friday Dear Reader!

This weekend is wedding weekend for us.  Benjamin's sister Samantha is getting hitched!  I will have an opportunity to meet some folks on the Cozad side that I haven't yet.  Sunday will be a full day with church, a Cozy Pet shoot and a dry run on new Thanksgiving dishes with our fabby friends from Vintage.

I love the weekends!

Here are some things that I came across this week that just made my day!

Whatever the weekend holds for you, I hope that it is outstanding!

Is it too early?

I love Christmas.

No seriously.  I am one of those people who starts singing about Christmas as soon as November is here.  Just ask Benjamin.

I do not, however, jump on the early bandwagon of decorating for it.  Decorating comes after Thanksgiving.

Christmas shopping, Christmas singing, Christmas lights - all things okay to do before Thanksgiving.

Tonight as Benjamin and I were heading out to do our Three Trees shopping, I saw it...  A house glowing at us in the distance... Christmas lights!  One of my favorite things to do the closer it gets to Christmas is driving around looking at lights.  There's something festive about seeing streets lined with the little twinklers!

C'mon Christmas!

Gift Guide: Chalkboard Everything

A while ago I posted about how I like the feel and look of chalk and chalkboards.  Today I came across these fun finds which also would translate into fantastic gifts for anyone who loves writing on anything and everything...

Chalk labels that you can put on anything from bradensgracewallart. You get 12 labels for $8.  How cute would these be on glass jars filled with holiday goodies?

And how about these adorable gift tags from Anthropology?  You get a set of 6 for $14.

Chalkboard jewelry from twinklyspangle for $15.40.

I also stumbled upon Chalkboard China - they have an awesome assortment of products - everything from vases to chocolate trays to plates!

Happy Chalkboarding!

Interview Update

The interview process is finally complete!  Last week we took our last trip around interviews to Philadelphia.

Last Saturday, Benjamin submitted his final preferences.
Saturday night we prayed over the school order he submitted and gave our future over completely for God to work out where He needs us to be.

Now we wait....

We still have 17 days left until we know if and where.  The time should pass quickly though - we have Samantha's wedding this weekend, a visit to Houston, Thanksgiving and then The Day!

December 2nd could not get here soon enough!
