Eat and Be Merry

This weekend has been a good one! Friday night, Juli, Karissa & I went to a pie social. Everyone brings pie and then there's a little vespers. Here's a picture of the table at one point.. people just kept pouring in with more and more pies.

We were a little disappointed that more of them weren't homemade. It's just not as much fun.. or as good! But we had fun seeing people and catching up with friends.

After church yesterday, Kar, Juli and I had a little family Sabbath lunch. I was so excited, I got to use my birthday plates from Elizabeth for the first time! I love them :)

I'm so blessed to live with two of my best friends! 

We had haystacks, of course.

Last night, Riki and I went to a Halloween party!

You can just call me Kate Middleton..

This was the only picture we had of both of us.. She went as a Wii "Just Dance" character! Halloween costumes are her favorite-- this girl always goes all out! We had a really fun weekend :) 

One Picture

This is the last of the 10 day blog challenge! One picture.. Haven't taken many pictures lately but Karissa and I have been all about faceinhole.com and this one's my favorite. I think it really reflects who I am.. ;)

Two Songs

Tonight Juli and I embraced the cold weather. We drank hot tea and watched the Little Mermaid :) (The movie post made me wanna watch it..) So, I got in a Disney movie mood and was watching, basically all the songs on YouTube. I smile all the way through them!

So for my Two Songs, it involved too much thinking and strategizing to pick two songs that reflect me or that I love or hate or whatever. I just picked the first two that came to mind. Anastasia's "Once Upon a December," since I had just watched it and remembered how great that movie is, and Chris Brown's "Don't Wake Me Up." It's been stuck in my head for the last 5 hours, that's how good it is ;)

Three Films

1) Dirty Dancing. All time favorite!

2) Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie. When I was a little girl, I wanted to switch lives with her and live under the sea!

3) Pitch Perfect. I've seen it twice already... The music is awesome, so funny and I'm a sucker for the ending!

From this collection, I look like a total girl.. I actually really like action/adventure and suspense movies! Just not as much :)

Four Books

1) Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul. Its an amazing book by John & Stasi Eldredge. I haven't finished it yet but I've loved it so far. I would like to read the one for men, Wild at Heart, too.

2) The Notebook. It was one of the first books that I read for fun. I couldn't put it down. 

3) To Kill a Mockingbird. I haven't read it in years but I remember loving it! So many wonderful messages in that book.

4) My Bible. Most important book of all :)

Five Foods

1) Sandwiches. Favorite food hands down. If I have a sandwich, I'm a happy girl!

2) Fresh fruit. I can't just pick one.. but grapefruit, peaches and strawberries are tied for first.

there aren't any pictures with all three..

3) Taco Bell. I'm always up for a TB run :)

4) Salad. Especially on hot days like today! With tons of tomatoes, cause there's never too many tomatoes! I'm not a big dressing fan so I just season it and add a little olive oil. I can never seem to make enough though..

5) Godiva cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory.. I'm not even willing to try and order anything else.

Six Places

1) Tulsa, Oklahoma: My heart will forever be there :)

Little bit of city, little bit of country!

2) Alaska: I want to see the Northern Lights. Melissa and I have a plan that if we're both single in two years, we're moving there.

3) London: I love all the old buildings and historical sites. Plus, I would really like to see Kate Middleton..

4) Lake Ouachita, Arkansas: Best sunsets in the world happen at CYB!

5) New York: I especially want to go at Christmas time with all the pretty lights and that big tree :) 

And the pile of big red ornaments!!

6) My House: I'm a big homebody.. its just really hard to beat a relaxing day at home!
