thanksgiving update

so this morning we are at the hilton in downtown wilmington. we drove down here yesterday because carolyn has to work today - so she didnt have to drive down by herself, we came to hang and see the ocean and the amazing downtown wilmington! it has been a great time so far - matt and allie surprised us at the airport when we arrived:

sweet. wed we went crazy out at a southpoint mall and amanda and i got our christmas presents early...check out amanda's blog for that fun adventure.

on wed night we went over to Visio Dei - got to see jason and diana and the new building. man it was amazing! we are so stoked for these guys - the church they got and how the renovated it in an amazing 3 days is so cool. their community is amazing - if you live in nc and need to find a church - please go check out visio dei. great community and great people.

after that you know we headed out to HELIOS!!!.

oh man. i love that place. number one coffee shop i miss in nc. carmella. my oh my. and you know we are headed back there tonight. it was great to see jason and diana. looking forward to hanging with them again as well.

on thurs we all just chilled out and watched the macy's thanksgiving day parade. yes! and then it was lunch time. here are some shots of the table:


the food was sooo good! thanks mom for all the hard work. after dinner it was photo time for us:

and bentley:



after photos it was football time - then we hit the road and headed to the beach! now we are all showered up and off to causeway cafe for some amazing breakfast - then to the beach. see ya on the flip flop...

our new home! (almost)

well...we will be in before you know it! please offer your prayers in our BIG life change.

isn't it cute?

we're buying a house!

yes the rumors are true - we are buying a house! the story goes like this - last weekend i called my buddy radkey and asked him what he was up to. he said he was cleaning out his garage because they were going to sell their house. and i asked what he was selling it for and after he told me i said - dont put it on the market, we want to buy it!! it is in our price range and an incredible house.

the house is 3 bedroom /1 bath - huge yard - hardwood floors throught. the bathroom was renovated this summer (amanda and i helped, ha!) and new granite counter tops in the kitchen and the roof is only 4 years old. so yeah - so so great!! so the biggest prayer requests we have now is our apartment. we had to break our lease and give 60 days notice. the catch is we NEED someone to rent our apt...bad. it will save us so much money!! so if you are in the houston area and need an apt - we got ya! put the word out everyone, k?

and please be praying for us as we go through this process. it is our first house and we are crazy scared - but way pumped as well!! more info to come soon.

thanks for all your prayers.
