Since I haven't posted in a week, I wanted to show you a snip-it of what I've been up to in pictures. I suppose I have been pretty busy trying to catch up from the Holiday. That's pretty sad considering it's been a whole week! So here I am, finally posting!
My holiday break started at 11am on Wednesday.
We met up with Scott's parents and sister for a movie. We saw Life of Pi. Wow! That was a great movie! I def recommend it. Oh and if you can see in in recliners with food, do that too!
Thursday
Turkey day. I made cream cheese brownies and green bean casserole for the family feast.
Friday
We set up our Christmas tree. These are all of our random ornaments. We don't have a theme for our tree :)
Mac was being a bit dramatic, and wanted attention. He kept moving from place to place just sitting alone and crying. Doesn't that sound sad?! He really does get attention, don't worry... Just cracked me up!
Saturday
Melvin had his first adventure to Canyon Lake. We went out to spend the day with Scott's sister and her family. Their new house was just precious!
You must watch these videos!
Melvin wasn't the best swimmer. He just needs a little bit more practice.
Sunday
Thanks to Kyndal for the pic!
I spent Sunday with girl friends celebrating at a baby shower. One of my good friends from high school is expecting, and due in January! Such a fun time.
Got lots of cuddles from this little man
Thursday
Last nights dinner that I cooked all by myself. I'm getting better(kinda) at this whole domestic thing.
That's pork cutlet, stuffing, peas and carrots. Mmmm! I want some more right now.
Tomorrow is the first day of December, CRAZY! It's going to be one busy month, that's for sure. Maybe I'll start my Christmas shopping soon... Maybe not?... Happy Friday everyone!
In honor of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share a random list of things I'm thankful for this year! Some of are more important than others, but nonetheless I'm thankful!
I'm thankful for...
Having the chance to plan mine and Scott's wedding. Although it can be stressful at times, I'm grateful that I have a wedding to plan!
These guys.
They make it hard for me to leave in the morning. Sorry so dark!
Working for four hours today(and earning time), and having casual Friday on a Wednesday.
yes, I wore this to work today...
Sour, gummy candies.
Love and acceptance from my future in-laws. I've never met another family who is so warm and welcoming than the Hamiltons. I'm beyond blessed to call them family.
The fact that ALL of my family lives within 30 minutes of me. Love that we are so close.
Joining a small group of Godly women who encourage me and are helping me grow my faith.
Melvin.
My job. It's such a blessing. It's low stress, entertaining(at times), easy, and I'm just plain happy with it! :)
Coffee. And my in house barista-Scott!
Waking up next to my future hubby every morning.
My education and supportive family, especially Bob, my step dad! I couldn't have done it without them.
Scott. We have the perfect dynamic for each other. So happy God brought us together. As Scott would say, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. :)
Linking up with Shanna! Thanks for giving me an excuse to be random, girl!
If you haven't been watching the news lately, then you're probably unaware of the big thing that happened over the weekend in the US!
Formula 1
If you're like me, then you probably don't know much about formula 1 racing. In Brooke terms, it's these itty bitty cars that zip around a winding race track, trying to fit as many laps as they can into a certain amount of time. I might add it's nothing like nascar, people.
There are formula 1 tracks all over the world! I thought of it almost like sport fútbol, or soccer, because it's so well known all over the world, with hardcore fans that travel to see their drivers hopefully win.
Austin is now another home to formula 1 racing, the only track in America. Pretty cool, huh?!
This weekend kicked off the grand opening, and of all places, it's basically in my backyard!
I'm sure you can only imagine how busy Austin was this past weekend. Circuit of the Americas brought so many people to our city. Sure some Austinites were unhappy with the crowds, traffic, and events. But for someone who experienced the "traffic," it actually wasn't bad at all! It HAD to bring a lot of revenue to our city too, so that's always a good thing.
Be sure to turn down your volume, these cars are LOUD!
I was amazed with the diehard fans, the diverse culture, the speed of the f1 cars, the amount of Ferrari's I saw at one time!, how loud the f1 cars were, and the whole set up! I seriously felt like I was in a different country. It didn't have that weird Austin feel. Lots of logo attire, cologne, and fancy clothes. It was all so different than what I've ever experienced before. Super fun to say the least!
The Ferrari's racing! My favorite part! They played dirty, and I loved it. Who woulda thought!
