Worst. Blogger. Ever.

It's official, I am a terrible blogger. So here are the pictures I promised almost two months ago. You probably forgot I even said I would post these, but these are from our 5-year anniversary trip to New England. We flew into New York and drove up the coast to Maine, then back down through the mountains. Here are the coast pictures. And yes, this trip was months ago :)

Any Julia Roberts fans? This was the Mystic Pizza from her very first movie.

The very first Baptist Church in America

Oldest library in America

The towns there were so cute and each had some sort of big fall contest or theme. This town had the biggest pumpkins you have ever seen all up and down main street. We should have stood next to these to show the size, but trust me, they are BIG!

ahh, pretty.

Our splurge of the trip was spending two night at this amazing bed and breakfast in Maine! This was the view of the harbor from our porch.

More views from the bed and breakfast. This was totally the highlight of the trip!

We figured there should be at least one pic of us...

We also made a point to visit a bunch of Ivy League schools while we were there. Georgeous!

Northeast Pics!

Ok so our vacation to New England was amazing! We went to so many cool towns, it's going to take more than one post to show you guys everything! I'll start with some great fall foliage pics from the few days we spent driving through the mountains. It was so peaceful and beautiful!

This church in a tiny mountain town was just picture perfect!

There were tons of cute covered bridges.

This sign points to the home that was the inspiration for the movie "The Sound Of Music". It is even still owned by the Trapp family. I guess I could have posted a picture of the actual home, but these trees are just so pretty!




It was so pretty there, the pictures just don't do it justice! We also spent a lot of time on the coast, I'll post some of those pics soon!

VACATION!!!!

So we haven't really been able to celebrate our anniversary for the past few years, it just has always fallen on a bad week where we were either moving or at a conference or something. So we have been saving up to take a 5-year anniversary trip to make up for it! We are leaving tomorrow and will spend the next 10 days driving along the coast of maine, then taking in the awesome fall leaves throughout the countryside. We are so excited!!! I'll be sure to post pics of the trip soon!

Recipes anyone?

So I'm not really used to cooking for large groups, but for the church plant we have started meeting on sunday nights in our home and eating together. I am on the hunt for recipes that are easy, inexpensive, feed lots of people, healthy, and still taste good. Luckily a few friends in Austin hooked me up with some awesome recipes (and a kitchen aid mixer- I know, ah-mazing!) to help us out with this. I would love to keep building up my recipe collection, anyone have anything good???

Blog Remodel!

It's white. And simple. And not finished, but almost. :)

Finally!!!

Ok, so I know I have been completely MIA these past few weeks. You will be happy to hear that we are finally moved into our new house in Norman OK, and that we finally have our internet hooked up again!!! I promise to be better about posting now that we are getting settled. Pics of the new place to come soon!

And to all our friends in Austin, we miss you all already!

For Sale!

Anyone want to buy a super cute couch, oversized chair, and ottoman? We love it, but are wanting to buy a larger sectional couch from a friend that will fit more people, since once we move we will need a lot of additional seating as we begin the Church Planting process! Asking $500 for the set or best offer! :)
