100,000 Miles

I have lots of love for my car. It's nothing special but it was the first car I've ever bought with my own money, it's paid for, and it's never once had a major mechanical failure (yes, I have knocked on wood). It turned over 100,000 miles yesterday when we were on our way home from work, so we had to capture the moment. Incidentally, it no longer shows tenths of a mile on the odometer. *Sigh*

Random Stuff

I saw The Blind Side yesterday and it was incredibly good. I highly recommend it. This is how I found Madison when I got home:

That blankee isn't hers, so that is clearly what makes it so appealing.

Plus it's chilly enough that the heater was still running in our bedroom about a half an hour ago :)

I've already started getting out the Christmas decorations!!

Whither Thou Goest

Yesterday was our four-year anniversary and my darling husband outdid himself! He took me to the Chart House for dinner in the Tower of Americas, where we've never been, for supper. That's extra romantic because there is a Chart House in Lake Tahoe and it was our favorite restaurant while we were on our honeymoon. So we get there and I'm already impressed but there are flowers on our table for me! He had them delivered to the restaurant!

 

Kenan's not a fan of heights - here's what he looked like when he found out the restaurant was at the TOP of the tower:

The flowers were just beautiful. They remind me of wedding flowers and they smell great:

Also, I have to brag - check out the beautiful present Kenan got me:

Happy Early Thanksgiving

I really wanted to make a Thanksgiving dinner this year, so Brad and Erin helped out and came over to help us eat it! We had a great time. Check out that table!

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 ;)
