All Hail the Queen of Books

It's official - I am a bona fide book reviewer. A representative from Thomas Nelson publishing saw my book review blog (Emily's Book Reviews) and commented on one of my reviews. She sent me that author's new book in the mail and I'll be reviewing it soon, so watch for it on my site!

German People Rule

A bunch of us went to Wurstfest last night to celebrate Erin's birthday with her and we had a blast!

 

GERMAN GIRLS ARE THE BEST!!!

I think Kenan might be mad at me... :) Actually, I think we both might have missed our calling.

Happy Halloween

We attended Brad and Erin's annual Halloween party last night and had a great time. Here are some pictures: Kenan is a firefighter, I am the fire chief (which I must point out means I outrank him), and Kurt is quite obviously a beer keg (it was the most popular costume of the night).

 

The Incredible Hulk was very scary! But his beautiful Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader wife was not afraid ;)

 

Shoe Bliss!!

It takes so very little to make me happy. These came in today's mail:

 

Aren't they fierce? I ADORE them and I can't wait to wear them out somewhere...

Halloween Stuff

This year Kenan and I both got creative. He made a huge spider out of 300 feet of PVC to put in the front yard (he is about 20 feet by 20 feet). His eyes light up (red bulbs) and everything!

 

Also, I carved a pumpkin for the first time in about 10 years using Kenan's Dremel tool. I couldn't believe how great they turned out (Kenan did the witch one and I did the face).

 

Gruene Hall

We went to dinner at the Grist Mill and saw Honeybrowne play at Gruene Hall last night with Kevin and Brenna and Nathan and Jessica. Below are some pictures - the first one was taken by the Gruene marketing guy and can be found on their official Facebook page :)

What are brothers for? We're pretty sure we have at least one picture like this from every year since we started dating:

See?

Congratulations, Lynette and Scott

We traveled to Dallas this weekend to see Kenan's cousin Lynette get married. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a wonderful time. Lynette was a beautiful bride and I just LOVED her dress (I know, I know, but I always notice these things). Here are some of the pictures:

Also, Scott had the very coolest groom's cake I have EVER seen. You can see why I feel that way about it:
