Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!
Although we don't have any pictures to prove it, Scotty and I had a great Thanksgiving break :) Some holidays are just not the same living away from home but we made the most of it by getting together with friends and enjoying a fabulous meal. Since we didn't host we spent the morning putting up Christmas decorations and watching the Packers game. We ate at the Jackmans with some other couples and we all went over to the Logans to meet up with more couples for desert. Everything was so delish!

Scotty and I spend the rest of the weekend decorating, shopping and relaxing! We have so much to be grateful for at this time. Just to name a few of our many blessings...

amazing friends
scott being a 3rd year med student
my job
the convenience of my job
our health
loving and supportive families
our time we've been able to spend together this semester (this will change in a few months)
our apartment (it finally feels like home)
our car (even though we only have one, at least the one we have works and hasn't been stolen)
our supportive church members
our safety (we recently got a new girl in young womens who is from Mexico and came here to live with her aunt & uncle because of the violence in her neighborhood... makes Wisconsin not seem as dangerous)
clean water 
peanut butter and jelly sandwich's (my staple for every lunch) 
leave in conditioner
zumba & yoga
woodmans (a less expensive grocery store so we can get the most for our limited amount of $)  
cells phones
skype
imessage (so we can text through his itouch when his phone doesn't have service)
an amazing husband 

Our life right now is seemingly perfect and with only a year and a half left in Milwaukee we are making the most of our time and looking forward to our future.

Life is good

twihards

Yes the much anticapated Breaking Dawn came out today and you know I went and loved it. The hype of it all isn't as big in Wisconsin which made it even more hilarious to show up in our twlight shirts and be the first in line. We went with the Halls and Thoresteds. Fun night!
our differences bring us together ha!

the hubs sported their wolf shirts, such troopers! Prob not what they wanted to be doing on their Friday night but hey marriage is all about supporting each others passions.  And don't  lie you liked the shirts we got you ... ;)

 We ate an early lunch at Chicago's famous Portillo's hot dog restaurant :) 
 
delish cake shakes

 we spent the afternoon at navy pier  



gorgeous fall day at millennium park

    

We walked a ton, ate Garretts popcorn (chicago mix- cheese & caramel), went shopping on Michigan ave, and got some deep dish pizza for dinner. We were all exhausted at the end but it made for a funny drive home.We had such an amazing day...seriously my favorite city:) We need to do this more often!
