lots of Thanksgiving to be had

Thanksgiving has always been of my favorite holidays so it's very fitting that for the rest of my life I will get to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my fabulous husband around Thanksgiving time! 

Thursday: We had a lovely Thanksgiving meal just us! With no oven and a tiny kitchen we had to make due so on the menu... 
Breakfast: cinnamon roll waffles (made on our George Forman Grill) hashbrowns, sausage, and orange juice. 




Dinner: rotisery chicken (from Walmart), instant potatoes, box stuffing, store rolls, corn, asparagus, and Marge's jello! and of course a little sparkling cider 
Before:
 After:

We also had skype calls with both of our families which was definitely the highlight of our day...we love our families!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Friday: Mr. Fabulous (see picture above) surprised me with a trip to DISNEYLAND!!! Here are just a couple pictures (out of our 163 pictures from the day) 












This was Michael's first time at Disneyland and he absolutely loved it! We had so much fun running around from ride to ride from 8:00am till 10:30pm. With weather in the 70's it was perfect!
Rides - Corndogs - Turkey Leg - Frozen Lemonade - Parade - Fireworks

Saturday: Our actual anniversary was a relaxing day out on the town. First we went to "The Painted Nail" salon where I got a manicure. It was so much fun and such a great manicure for a really good deal! Then we went shopping around at a fancy mall in Hollywood. I felt like I was walking through a Vogue magazine. We had fun dreaming in Tiffany's, and a Ferrari store. And we finished the night by going out to dinner. 

  

I feel lucky every morning when I wake up and I see this incredible man at my side! I am so grateful for so many things but today I'm especially grateful for my husband, Michael James!

enjoying some FALL

being in California we are missing all the beautiful colors of fall, the crisp cool days, and the wet rain coming down.


What can I say, I love Oregon weather!


Yesterday we had some extra time to kill while we were in another city where we found this cute park and were able to enjoy some of the joy of fall!





...the joy of living

can openers

Since we have been married we have had 4 can openers 
all from different brands, all from different stores, all at different prices.

NONE of them WORK!

so on another attempt to find a working can opener we found success...

at the Dollar Tree!

wouldn't you know?! the cheapest one of them all!

he is a bunny and we will call him buddy and he will be our bunny

We have a new friend whom we have named Buddy. He lives outside of our hotel and if you weren't looking for him you might just miss him.
 If he doesn't go away soon we just might have to adopt him :)
 And here is our room, I'm making our lovely Sunday dinner.
