Family

I love my family. We are loud, wacky, competitive, driven and happy. 

We are always laughing, eating and working (well, them more than me on the working part.) 

Being away from home just makes me miss and love them all that much more. 

I love that we are becoming better friends. 

When I was home for Thanksgiving, I went on a hike with my family up into the hills around the valley.

It was beautiful. (Except for the part where I got bitten by a tick. Unfortunate.) 

It was so much fun bonding with my siblings, and it was a GREAT workout.

I realized how out of shape I was when I saw that I was falling FAR behind my parents 

(both of whom are in their late 50s) 

Welp, if that doesn't motivate me to go to the gym I don't know what will.

Home Sweet Home

I went home for Thanksgiving and had the greatest weekend! 

I live in the most beautiful and bountiful place on earth.

Here are some pictures to prove it...

A staple outfit for the fall-ish days on the farm.

Chickens!!

The outside kitchen at our house, bread oven, apple press and stoves. LOVE IT.

An old pumpkin patch still brightens up the farm with some vibrant colors.

The inside of my raspberry, blackberry pie. YUM!

My sister and my dads best friends son. They contributed cookies to our meal.

I love that we have this hanging in our kitchen. We really all were grown and raised in the Capay Valley. It's such a beautiful place to live!

So many fruits and veggies.

The Happy Buddha smiles at you when ever you do the dishes.

I have never noticed how colorful our kitchen is, and how much time my mom and dad have taken to make it look so cute!

Me and my sister in our fall clothes. <3

Finished product. It was the most popular dish of the night, thank you very much.

Just one of the tables we had set up. We had over 50 people at our Thanksgiving this year.

Yum!

Just the desserts. Woah.

Daddy and son. Makes my heart melt.

Just might be the cutest baby ever. Good food, cute babies. We've got it all figured out.

Celeb. List

My roommate and I decided to make our "who would you do?" list. Hot celebs that if "given the chance" would... well... you know.

This took a LOT of thinking on my part. 

SO many cute boys out there in the world, I didn't want to be TOO girl-y with my choice... I wanted some boys that looked good with scruff, but also some one that could croon me to sleep after our "love fest". 

And I am still not 100% sure that this would be my final list but at the moment it sounds pretty good.

These boys are something I am very thankful for at the moment...
