Happy November!!!

It is November! WHOOP! That means MANY things!

It means the weather is cooler, and it just might stay that way!
It means college football is getting really good (well for most schools anyway).
It means we have a good excuse to eat warm soups & chili.
It means we get to GO BACK TO TEXAS!!! (Just for Thanksgiving)
It means we get to see our families! Well 3 out of 4 anyway!

So needless to say, we are pretty excited! I know I've been absent from the blog for a couple weeks, but I'm back and ready to go! I have lots to tell everybody! I still need to post about the wedding we went to in San Antonio, our Halloween, and some other exciting news (no we aren't pregnant haha).

Here is what our November looks like SO FAR!
This weekend - Taylor & I are headed to Nashville Tennessee on Thursday afternoon. We will be there all weekend for Taylor's cousin's wedding & all of its festivities. We are very excited about getting to spend a weekend out of Mobile and with family.
November 11-13 - Nothing too exciting planned, but we are still looking forward to it
November 18-20 - My friend from work is going to have a baby in late November/early December so they are having a little shower for her that I get to go to! Very exciting!
November 24-27- THANKSGIVING!!!! One of my favorite holidays - and yes I love all holidays and I have a hard time ranking them, but it is tied with the 4th of July for 2nd. (My birthday is first for any of you not sure haha)

For Thanksgiving this year we are going to Texas!!! We might even be in Louisana as well! We will spend a couple days with my parents, Pop & Mrs. B and then a couple days with Taylor's mom, Sherrill, his sister, Madeline and their family. That’s why we know for sure we will be in Texas for some of it, and we might be in Louisiana depending on where we spend that time with Taylor's side of the family! We really just cannot wait! Four straight days of family, catching up and DELICIOUS FOOD!!! MY FAVORITE!!! :)

Speaking of food....let’s talk about some of the best Thanksgiving food!
Turkey - duh!!! So good and almost any way that you prepare it, it is fantastic.
Stuffing - makes the turkey even better, but it is not complete without...
Cranberry sauce!!! And I tell you what, I eat that stuff whether it is made from true cranberries, OR straight out of that can with the can rings imprinted into it and all. Yummmm.
Sweet Potatoes - I'm not really picky on how these are prepared either. Of course, I am partial to how I grew up eating them, with marshmallows on top. But I've had them with caramel & pecans as well, and let me tell you, those aren't bad AT ALL! :)
Mashed Potatoes - yes, I know, more starch, but these are soooo good, especially with,
Green beans! - Without bacon of course haha. Just kidding, I eat them however they are prepared as well.
Corn
Carrots (all buttered up)
I think that’s all the vegetables I'm used to. Although I would not be opposed to any other gracing a Thanksgiving table.
CRESCENT ROLLS!! You cannot forget those. They are the perfect last bite to just send that full feeling over the edge. You know what I'm talking about.
Most families serve Ham as well...and that’s fine, but I'll stick with my turkey!
Ok I think that is about it for the main course...I wonder if I forgot anything. I would love to hear about what other dishes you have at your Thanksgiving table!
*Note: when I grow up and I am the one making Thanksgiving dinner, you better believe there will be Mac & Cheese! And lots of it!*

And don't worry, before we go, I won't forget the most important part: DESSERT!
Pumpkin Pie
Pecan Pie
Sweet Potato Pie
Well those are my three favorite, although some others that like to make an appearance:
Lemon Meringue Pie
Chocolate Pie
Chocolate Meringue Pie
Cobblers (all and any)
And of course, don't forget that fruit/whip cream salad thing that is on most tables with the main course, I love it, but not sure if it is a side dish or pre dessert. :)

Mmmmm...Aren’t you STARVING for Thanksgiving now??? I know I am!!! Only 23 days away!

Like I said, check back soon because I will have more posts coming very soon.
Love you all!
