Thanksgiving 2013

Our Thanksgiving was really quiet and chill this year!

Because it was just the two of us this year we decided that we

didn't really feel like being in the kitchen all day - so we headed

to our favorite restaurant on the river - Tap Rock!

We were both surprised at just how busy it was for being Thanksgiving,

but we were in good company and we had a tasty, easy meal!!

It was SO beautiful outside so we walked around and snapped a few pics ...

We came back home and skyped with some of our family and enjoyed our time together!

Our November 2013 Gratitude List

We are grateful for: 11/1 - C: her i-pod for giving her music to sing along to while driving to Selma for work. N: a day off that included pizza! 11/2 - the opportunity that we have to spend the evening together because we haven't seen much of each other lately due to our work schedules! 11/3 - We are grateful for the extra hour that we got to spend together this morning before Nate had to go to work!! 11/4 - easy dinners in the form of Safeway Deli Sandwiches! 11/5 - Nate getting off 30 minutes early so we can see each other for a bit before going to bed!! 11/6 - Truth time: Things have been emotional at our house for the last month or so. We have loved ones going through difficult times and we miss Rascal and our jobs are adding a certain amount of stress on us - it may sound cliche, but we are grateful for each other. We are grateful that we know how to make each other laugh through our tears and enjoy the little things through this emotional time. Yes, we are grateful for each other. 11/7 - we are grateful for FRIENDS - for making us laugh, for being predictable and being our favorite 'comfort' show!! 11/8 - Nate FINALLY had a Friday off and we got to go on a nice date to Tap Rock! It was delicious and nice to get out of the house together!! 11/9 - The discovery that 'Chuck' was finally on Netflix and that we had a WHOLE day off to watch it together! 11/10 - C: grateful for phone calls with best friends and a productive day. N: the end of a 12 hour shift!! 11/30 - well I kind of slacked on this list, didn't I? I went on my trip to Utah and came back exhausted and feel like I am just now catching up on my life ... we really do have a lot to be grateful for and we are fortunate that we know it. There are so many people in this world who take what they have for granted and I pray that I will never be one of those people. We have been so blessed this past year in our new life in Oregon and we know that this is exactly where we are supposed to be at this point in our lives. We are grateful for this life that we have together!!
