Our Walk

Mike and I took a walk last night through our beautiful Menlo Park neighborhood. It was a very cold night, but we had fun looking at all the beautiful lights. We even started rating each house on a scale from 1-10. Some homes were far from impressive with lights maybe only on one bush or ugly blowup snowmen in the front yard.


We did find, however, a house that got a perfect 10. It was almost a Griswald house and that would have been way too much. ..but we found that this house had the same size of lights, the same color, and they strung each light on exactly the right amount of house. It was delightful.

Thanksgiving Weekend

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Mike's family in San Francisco, where his sister, husband, and our sweet neice, Hailey live. We had such a great time shopping, watching football, and EATING. It was a great time relaxing and reflecting on this past football season.


I'm happy to have Mike back from being gone so much, and even though I wish we went to a Bowl Game, it's nice to have him home. We were really blessed this season with five wins and God taught us a lot. We are very thankful for His grace and love towards us.


We have planned a trip to New York City after Christmas. I have never been, so Mike is taking me for a week! We are working out all the details as we speak, but we are so excited to be able to take this trip. More updated info to come!
