Happy Turkey Day!

Our Thanksgiving started early! This is because the company where Carlos works had a huge Thanksgiving meal for all their employees and for the families of their employees on the Friday before Thanksgiving. There was a plethora of food. My contribution to this was a macaroni and cheese casserole, and I do have to say that Paula Deen did not let me down... it was delicious!

When the official week of Thanksgiving rolled around, I was one sick girl. Carlos was so diligent to love and care for me. I was reminded, yet again, of how he is an amazing gift from the One who gives such gifts! Carlos really wanted our first Thanksgiving to be just the two of us and I was looking forward to spending the day with him. Even once I got sick, Carlos was still determined that we would have our first Thanksgiving meal together and did all the grocery shopping!

Carlos manned the Turkey,
while I was in charge of fixing all the sides!

We have so much to be thankful for this year! The Lord has blessed us in so many ways... God provided us with such an awesome church family in Raleigh, NC and many authentic (most accurate word I could think of) friendships. Friends whom we still love dearly! It was so hard to move to Alabama, but God is so good!! It truly amazes me to ponder how quickly He has filled our life here in Alabama. We praise God for the church family He has provided for us here and the friendships already formed that have become so precious to us. Huntsville, AL is starting to feel like home!

WE HOPE EVERYONE HAD A THANKSGIVING FULL OF THANKFULNESS!
