A lovely week

Last week was terrible. Really unfortunate, actually. I won't go into all the details, because that is not what this post is about. This post is about the loveliest week I have had in quite some time. I know, I know, this post was supposed to be about our home... maybe next time.

So the week started out kind of rough - the events of last week looming over us. But, as the week went on it just got better and better. We were able to spend a lot of time with my family this week. I realize how blessed I am to be able to spend time with my family whenever we feel like it so I truly treasure our time together.

I also got to see many of my close friends this week that I don't see very often any more. My friend Lauren came for a visit and the next night my friends Ashley & Kiederra came over to hang out for a bit.

Zack & I were able to make a very sweet memory - putting up our first Christmas tree together.

It is 9 feet tall! Zack & I were so tickled at how huge it was! 
We didn't realize it would be so fat, we had to re arrange our entire apartment to fit the stinking thing in here, but it was so worth it!
 It is beautiful & its just magical to sit underneath the light of it.




Thanksgiving was obviously the highlight of the week. 
The food was amazing & I am so thankful that my parents are such great cooks!!!
It is always sweet to sit around the table with all the people I love together and talk about why we are thankful. My heart is full with blessings. I really do have so much to be thankful for. Unfortunately, we didn't get a family photo this year. I was pretty disappointed about it, but oh well. 

Today, Zack & I took some photos for our first Christmas card!!! 

Zachary is definitely one of my favorite blessings this year (and for all the years to come)! 
I am so fortunate to have someone so joyful in my life. 
He is a goofball - constantly making me laugh
Even when he makes me angry, somehow he always manages to make me laugh. 
He has continued to warm my heart through our marriage and I fall for him all over again every single day. 
The thing that topped off our lovely week & put a huge smile on my man's face is the fact that the 
GATOR'S WON!!! CHOMP!

But, really, God has been so good to us.
Have a lovely week.
