It's the Weekly Recap!

* Last Sunday, I was so excited because it was my first time to go to a church dinner with Ryan. Well. Kind of. Since we've gone to the same church for so many years, I've eaten (in a group setting) with him before, but to go with him, was such a blessing. It's the little things for me. I love experiencing all those little things with him.

* Monday I saw this beautiful sunrise on my way to work. I just wanted to pull the car over and snap many pictures because it was so pretty! But alas, I'd have been late.

Monday evening I fell in love with DVR. Haven't ever had it before and now I do. Ryan told me it would spoil me. Boy was he ever right about that. I was so happy, I just curled up on the couch with my dinner and the remote. Sigh of joy.

* Tuesday evening was another chore/errand evening for me, and that included taking the time to work on this little Thanksgiving project for Ryan. I adore having someone to spoil!

* Wednesday I worked from home in the morning, and then I had the afternoon off work. Ryan invited me to visit his job for lunch, since they were having a carry-in - so I could meet the rest of his co-workers! I'd met some of them at a party a few weeks ago. I went for lunch and then ended up staying the rest of the afternoon, watching him work. I ADORED that so much. I'm so proud of him and how well he does his job! That evening, we worked hard on wedding hoopla - including printing our programs!

* I already told you about Thursday...our first Thanksgiving together. I was so thankful to have Ryan there to go with me to my parents' house for lunch - and it was good to be able to go with him to his family gatherings too. This is the kind of life that I just thoroughly enjoy sharing with him!

* Friday morning, Ryan had to work, so I went to get my hair cut and dyed before the wedding! No grays allowed at this event! Then he and I hopped in the car and drove to Indianapolis to do some other pre-wedding shopping. On Black Friday. What were we THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?!

* Saturday morning I stayed in bed until NOON working on my scrapbook! My last chance to scrap before I get married, so I made the most of it! Ryan came over for the afternoon and evening and we had the best time laughing and talking and cooking and doing laundry and cleaning and organizing and working on wedding craft projects! Braeya...not so much of a help. Always willing to participate, though!

Pinterest Inspiration: I feel like this one is cheating because I never actually saw this thing on Pinterest, but looking at all the "tell someone how thankful you are" pins led me to construct this little gift for Ryan:

I found these little cards and envelopes at Hobby Lobby. Bought some chipboard letters and glued them on to spell THANKSGIVING. On each card, I wrote something I was thankful for that began with that letter. He LOVED opening them!!

 

That's it, folks! Next Sunday, as you read, I'll be getting married!
