hitched: and then it was december

so november flew by ridiculously fast this year..
at the beginning of the month we went to the charger game vs. green bay! one of nick's friends treated us to an amazing day at the game. first we got picked up from our house in a limo! he treated us to drinks, lunch, and an amazing view of the game with plaza level seats. whether it's baseball or football or whatever, games are always fun to go to but it's usually more fun to watch it on TV because you get the best view.. that was definitely not the case this time.. it was so great!! it was pouring rain the whole game and freezing out, but we just put plastic bags over us and cheered on! chargers lost.. but what's new.

the weekend before thanksgiving nick went camping with some of his friends from college and i got to spend the weekend with my sister! brooke went on a mission trip to mexico and afterwards got dropped off in san diego. we had sister time.. something we absolutely never get and that i wish i had more of. we got mani/pedis, eybrows done, shopped, ate sushi, and just got to be together.

it was perfect because then brooke, nick, chloe and i drove up to my parents house in vacaville for thanksgiving. i love thanksgiving, and not only because of the delicious food (but my grandma's gravy is the greatest thing in the world.. i can eat it like soup). i love it because family comes together and these days getting all of us together is a special thing, whereas just a few years ago it was the normal everyday. i ~~think~~ definitely took those years for granted. not that i didn't enjoy being with my family, but now it's something that i long for and desire. all the time. the Lord has blessed with me with such an amazing, loving, fun, encouraging, and supportive family. He has given me so many blessings and I have much to be thankful for. my sweet husband is more than i could have ever asked for or dreamed of. i feel like i absolutely don't deserve him. he is so handsome.. he has this look in his eyes that gets me every time and his smile is just so captivating. i adore him. he is a man after the Lord's heart and treats me like a princess. he is such a provider, leader, lover, encourager and my best friend.

i could just go on and on about him.

i am also so thankful for my sweet pup. chloe is such a crazy little bundle of joy.. and she does just that, she brings me so much joy!! i'm kind of obsessed with her. she is my precious baby, until i have a real one, and then maybe she'll become a dog.
BUT more than anything else, i am thankful for a loving Savior. i am thankful that Jesus would die on the cross for me and take all my sins, washing me clean. i am thankful for His unconditional love and the fact that He will never give up on me and that He is constantly pursuing me. I am so overwhelmed and humbled by the Lord!
