Lots has been going on and I haven't been good about uploading my pictures and updating the blog! Here's what we have been up to in November...
I'm over half-way done with my first semester of classes (this has been keeping me busy)! I have decided that since I work at a University and get tuition benefits, I might as well take advantage of it! I'm working towards a degree in Nutrition since it is something that I am very passionate about! I want to inspire people to healthy living by sharing the gift of nutrition with others.
Jake is also staying very busy during the week with his job. It seems like he travels to New York and New Jersey pretty frequently, and he is really enjoying this position. He's also helping lead a mens gym night at church on Tuesdays with a friend, Tyler.
Jake and I are both working with the middle school youth group on Wednesday nights. Jake helps lead the 6th grade boys and I'm with the 8th grade girls! We have had a lot of fun getting to know the kids and are looking forward to the Winter Retreat!
Our weekends have been packed this month!
The first Weekend of November - Jake was in Virginia and I was in Kentucky
Jake and Corey met up in Virginia because it was a good half-way location in between TN and PA. They spent all day Saturday and Sunday morning riding. Sounds like they had a blast!!
Thanks for the pictures, Corey!

I was in Louisville, KY celebrating Brandon and Lauren's marriage!! They had a gorgeous wedding and I was so happy to be there to celebrate with them! I was also very honored to be a bridesmaid! It was so good to see Lauren and Katie and their families since the three of us did everything together growing up! Love them!! My mom was also there, so I got to spend time with her (Dad was in South Africa on business).
I was pretty bummed I forgot my camera, but I did take 2 pictures on my phone!!

Second Weekend of November - Jake in Tennessee and I was Home
Jake went to Nashville to attend Luke and Jill's wedding. I wish I could have gone with him because it sounds like he had a great time visiting with college friends and fraternity brothers! I stayed home and got a lot done - cleaning, Christmas shopping, laundry, organizing, etc. I even made a trip down to Trader Joes near Philly!
I think Jake has pictures on his phone...I'll post those later!
Third Weekend of November - John and Alma Visit Pennsylvania!
Jake's Dad and his wife, Alma came to visit from Florida! We had a really great time with them and got to show them where we live! Friday night we enjoyed a warm bowl of homemade chili with grilled cheese. After dinner, we went to see the movie Courageous - which I highly recommend seeing. It was so powerful.
Saturday morning I made breakfast for everyone and then we headed out to explore the Lehigh Valley. It was a gorgeous Fall day, so it was perfect for walking. We ended up at the Lock Ridge Park, Allentown Farmers Market, downtown Bethlehem, and Christkindlmarkt. We finished the evening off with a delicious meal at the Limeport Inn - one of our favorite restaurants.

Allentown Farmers Market
After lunch, we took a stroll around Lehigh...
Exploring Bethlehem...
I found this awesome hat with built in gloves at Christkindlmarkt...I didn't buy it because I don't think anyone would take me seriously with a pink bunny hat, but it's so smart...you would never have to worry about loosing your gloves!!
Sunday evening we celebrated Thanksgiving with Fuse (more on that in the next post) and then Jake and I put up our Christmas tree!! Love this time of year!
Isn't Alice so cute? :-)
