Holiday Fun

Thanksgiving this year was definitely one of the best ones yet. 

I don't think I would have had this one any other way!

Btw, totally meant to post this sooner....

A day shopping with theses two goobs. Couldn't get the sun off of Mom's neck!!

 And I got to see one of my best frans: Benjy, in one day.

He came to see us at JoAnn's. :)

Can't forget about dad's homemade cookie dough while putting the Christmas tree up.

So, so delish.

Then a game night with the fam. Oh my. Best game night ever. 

Couples Headbandz is the way to go. Seriously.

Sam was my "significant other".

And then this is just a picture of my dad and I. Love him.

And then my beautiful cousins and sister-in-law!

And of course, my big bro. 

I won't repeat what I said, but it was definitely funnier than what we portray.

Then we have my rents.

I couldn't ask for bigger supporters, influences, or parents.

I hope I can be half of what they are!

Then there's this cutie. Hmm. 

We all had a fun night partying with the Shay's.

Dance party with 80's rock and 90's pop = SO. MUCH. FUN.

Then, we have the cabin. 

I didn't get a lot of pictures because my gloves where on 80% of the time.

We had the best time four-wheeling, eating, and enjoying the sunset, fire and company.

(Amber was warming up with the heater...

had no idea about the antlers until after the pictures hehe)

Drei (3 in German)

3 years and counting!

I'm not going to lie, I am happier than ever and with no sugar-coating, 

this is guy is absolutely amazing!

I feel like the past year has been such a fun, never-ending ride. We have grown together, we have learned together, we have fought together. And it will continue. Forever.

Now, Richard and I are nowhere near perfect, which is what I love. We both fight for what we want, which is each other and what we believe in. Our differences have grown together and we always to figure out what is the best for us. 

There is no doubt, that this is the man meant for me.  

The man God chose for me, and it is beyond indescribable. 

I mean, look at this stud. How did He pick us?!

Head over heals

and blessed beyond belief.

Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart" has always been one of my favorite verses. 

Such a short sentence that means so much. I usually see it written on decorative items in HobLob and other little places that I want to buy, but nothing ever really fits my style.

Happy with result and it now hang in my bedroom. :)

The font I based "Trust" and "Lord" off of can be found here.

Christmas Chocolate Cream

I finally found a seasonal beverage I LOVE. 

As we've sledded, skidded, and spun out, I have found a new bev. to enjoy!

School got cancelled Thursday and Friday, so it has been a happy 4-day weekend! 

And it might even turn into a 5-day weekend. :)

No complaints until we have to make the days up. :( 

When I went into the Liquor store the other day, I wanted something like 

Bailey's Irish Cream - which is when I found this. 

(Richard isn't too fond, but he likes 90-proof Peppermint Schnaps, if that says anything.)

Tres Leches Triple Cream is delicious!! 
Three ways I have greatly enjoyed are either:

2/3 Water

Hot Chocolate packet

1/3 Triple Cream

or

1/2 Cold Milk

1/2 Triple Cream

2 TBSP of Nesquik or 1 Hot Chocolate packet 

or

2/3 Eggnog
1/3 Triple Cream 

Ladies, I don't believe it will disappoint!!

Be-YOU-tiful

I'm not going to lie, I stole this from Pinterest, and specifically, Etsy.

Since I'm snowed in, my boyfriend has a man night, and my wine froze on my porch (I still got a couple glasses out of it)...I decided it was a canvas night. I found this pin a long, long time ago, and have always wanted to re-create it - I just never knew what theme to go with. Welp, I got on a role tonight and just went with it which matched the pillows I made 3 months ago! Totally happy with my results. :)
