Yesterday was my and James' 2nd wedding anniversary. Two years has flown by--and it has been so fun. I had to teach last night, so when I got home James had Village Idiot pizza waiting (yum-the Hurricane pizza is to die for)*, as well as a dozen red roses and a necklace he picked out from an antique store all on his own.
(He knows me well--I do love a vintage piece!) He is amazing and thoughtful. We're going out to dinner Friday night to really celebrate and he says I have another gift coming that night...I am a lucky girl.
This morning I went to the Doctor for my 28 week pre-natal check up. I had to do the gestational diabetes test, and I passed with flying colors. Blood pressure is good, fetal heart rate is normal, and all is well with me and Jones. I am measuring a week ahead of schedule, so he will probably make his appearance well before the February 14th due date.
Over the weekend I made James get the Christmas decorations down from the attic and attempted to start decorating--he talked me into waiting until the day after Thanksgiving for most things though.
And I also attempted to make bread from my starter for the very first time. The results were less than stellar. The dough came together well, rose well the first time around, but then I just couldn't get it to rise as much as it should have the second time around, so it ended up very flat, hard and heavy after baking. I am going to try again tomorrow afternoon.

I am working on the knitted baby blanket--see my progress below. It's going to take me while, but so far, so good.
I am also going to attempt to make a Peanut Butter Chocolate Tart with a Pretzel Crust tomorrow to take to Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house--I'll let you know how that goes.
Happy Thanksgiving Week, everyone! If you're in Columbia and looking to shop this weekend, keep your local retailers in mind and support Small Business Saturday!
And, just because-- pictures of some of my favorite boys: my nephews, Ben and Taylor, and James and our dingo, Peach.
