More Good news...

WE GOT THE HOUSE!!! Yay!! We finally closed on our home on Tuesday the 14th, it was cutting it a little close cause our apartment lease was up on Wednesday and we were all moved into our house on Thursday!It was such a crazy week because Monday-Thursday Jonathan and I were working as well as trying to move! But it's so worth it! We love our new home, located in the cute little town of Star, Idaho! It's just a fifteen-ish min. drive from work, so that works out nice. And we just have so many little projects we want to do to update the house to be our style! We will hopefully be getting new appliances and more furniture once we get back from Georgia! So I plan on posting some before and after photos! And my wonderful mom will be coming to visit hopefully very soon to help me be all creative and thrifty! I'm so excited! We have so much growing room with this house and I am so grateful we have been blessed with this opportunity! Thank you hubby for making it all happen, you are amazing!
Pictures to come soon!

Thanksgiving, Eldredge Style

So this was my first Thanksgiving as an Eldredge, and my 4th Thanksgiving in a row away from my family... so, sorry Cushmans, I have been a "family hater" when it comes to Thanksgivings lately, but it's not entirely my fault!! Plus, we're coming for Christmas, so ya gotta give & take a little with a long-distance relationship! Anyway, it was a very fun Thnaksgiving this year, and I felt like I had so much to be grateful for, namely an amazing husband who is so perfect for me and makes me feel like a Queen, last year at Thanksgiving, I could have never predicted that I would be in the place I am now, and I couldn't be more thankful!
So we started the festivities off by going over to my in-laws house the day before and helped make some of the goodies. We decided to stay the night there to make it feel kind of like Christmas Eve. In the morning, Jonathan and I got in a little pre-feast workout at their home gym (that way I didn't feel as guilty when I pigged out later). Then we all got ready and headed to the Grandparents house in Ontario, Oregon (just about an hour away). All of Jonathan's Dad's brothers and sisters gather there for Turkey Day, along with all of their children, so there was somewhere between 40 and 50 people gathered there, it was crazy! There was a ridiculous amount of delicious food, which was amazing, and then we all just stuck around for the evening playing games, eating, making crafts, eating, watching football, eating, and then more eating! It was a great day, one of which I definitely paid the concequences of eating too much food that I'm not supposed to, but it was totally worth it ;)
