Thanksgiving 2018





Happy Thanksgiving y'all! What do YOU make for your Thanksgiving meal? Do you always have Turkey or Ham? I look forward to reading your comments! Scott and I don't usually have turkey for Thanksgiving...I know that was hard for some of you to hear! Why? We aren't really turkey fans and we would have turkey for days. 

 Scott and I decided to have brisket this year. It was so yummy! Maybe you've never heard of it or even tried it before, well, come on down! My first time trying brisket was with some friends in Corpus Christi. I called the smoke house where they specialize in brisket to see about placing my order in advance. The man on the phone laughed and said, "Ma'am, most people don't have brisket for  Thanksgiving, so you won't have to worry about ordering ahead of time." That made me chuckle! Now Scott and I plan on getting it every year, another tradition to mark down for us! 

Thanksgiving menu 2018:
~Everything was Keto approved except for the potatoes! I had bought some salad but had to throw it away because of the recall. 

~Smoked Brisket
~Garlic Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes 
~Sautéed zucchini and squash 
~Garlic Parmesan Biscuits 
~Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
~ Cranberry Cobbler 


What everything looked like online 

How it actually came out 


On Friday we went to Kora Kora Coffee 
Scott had the snowman and I had the pumpkin! 

Saturday we made a trip to Gonzales and visited a few tourist places as well as one of our favorite State Parks. 
Gonzales Pioneer Village- a collection of 1800's structures and artifacts. It would make a great field trip! 
Some trails, an old church building, an old house, and a toy truck made out of wood!
Lots of buildings with old furnishings in them- the tour guide was very informative about each one! 
This house had not 1 but 2 coffee grinders-yes please! 


 Gonzales Memorial Museum-where the "Come and take it" cannon is! 


Eggleston House Children's Garden
The house was very interesting! 

Come and Take it Monument


Texas Heroes Square 


 Palmetto State Park 
-I didn't take any pictures this time! 

Well, this concludes my 26 days of Thanksgiving posts for November! I made it to the end, yay!!! Have you enjoyed reading them? Would you like to see something special for December? I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Our 2nd miscarriage

          Christmas 2017 will always be a day to remember.  That day was filled with so much sorrow and yet I received the best gift ever. What? How is that possible?  Grab a cup of coffee and let me share our story with y’all. Our Baby's precious name        When Scott and I knew that we were expecting, we had a wave of many different emotions. We experienced great happiness, joy, fear, worry, and the unknown future of this precious baby. I wanted to be prepared as we had experienced a miscarriage before. Read about our first miscarriage here if you haven’t already:     http://jenny-s-journey.blogspot.com/2015/05/miscarriage.html?m=1 .   I knew that God was the only one who could see the future life of this baby. God would know how many days or weeks the baby would grow, if the baby would make it full term, and if there would be  any compilations. I didn’t want to have to experience ano...

Our 1st Miscarriage

The Story of our 1st miscarriage with Baby Nutter I am ready to share my story about having a miscarriage. They say there is healing in sharing.  What is every little girls dream? To grow up one day, get married, and have a baby. The day came when I got married, I couldn't wait to start a family! With much prayer Scott and I thought we were ready to start a family. We  had been trying for awhile and it didn't even seem hopeful. Every-time that   time of the month came around I would be sad that it didn't happen, time and time again. After what seemed like forever, I gave up on that dream of being a mom.  ~The day we found out our happy news~       I remember the day that we found out we were expecting. It was in the very beginning of December. I had finally talked my husband into letting me buy a test. He did not want me to be disappointed again. I was so nervous to even take the test even thought I was certain this time! I had waite...

Blogmas Post #3 There are only 22 days left until  Christmas!  The question for you today is:  Do you have an ornament that's special to you personally or as a married couple?  I love decorating the tree each year, its one of my favorite things to do! I looked at all our ornaments to see which one was the most special to us, I found two of them!  The first one is this ornament. It was given to us as a wedding gift. I ordered a picture small enough to fit in it.  The second one is this ornament. It came from my most favorite store in the whole world!!!!! If you aren't from Michigan, you probably have no idea what store I am talking about. Michigan is known for many things, one of them being a Christmas town with the world's largest Christmas store! If you ever go to Michigan, I encourage you to go to the town of Frankenmuth! While there, go and visi...
