Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

Hi All!  We hope you had a great Thanksgiving!  We had a great trip to Charlotte.  We ate and drank to our hearts content, really enjoyed catching up with family, and got out on the golf course twice!  Thank you all for a fabulous trip- it was great to see you!

This time of year really makes us consider our lives and how lucky we are to have everyone of you in our lives.  Thank you all for everything- we are giving many, many thanks for our supportive, loving, and amazing family and friends.

Love, Lauren and Bryan

Happy Holidays! :-)

Snow!

Woke up this morning to snow on the ground and snow falling down!  Unfortunately, school is still in session, but at least it's SNOWING!!!!! :-)

A feast for the ages

We were inspired by the recent foodie magazines and the upcoming holidays to cook a feast today!  Well, let's say Bryan cooked the feast today- but I was the sous chef :-)

The feast: Bone-in pork roast with cranberry chutney, a side of celery root and apple puree with an apple galette to finish.  Bryan has been slaving away all day and now, it is just time for us to wait until it is all done cooking and enjoy!  I'll be adding the recipes after we try them to make sure they're good first! :-)

One other bonus of the day: It SNOWED!!! YAY!!!!  Nothing is really sticking, but it's been wonderfully cold and flakes have been falling all day long.

Happy snow and holidays!

Love, Lauren & Bryan

Uh Oh.

I know we are in trouble.  No need to tell me about it.  It has been a REALLY long time since we've (I've) written.  The past few months have been completely nuts for us.  School has kept me ridiculously busy between student teaching full time and my full time masters program at SPU....  Bryan's been worked to the bone lately, too- so much for a slow November at TnT!  Anyway, as I begin to get in a rhythm with school, I hope to get to sharing more of our lives with you.  The only problem with that is that we've been too busy to do anything incredibly exciting!  However, I have taken some pictures, so all is not lost.  Hope everyone is doing well- we are definitely surviving, but looking forward to some time off soon!
Love, Lauren and Bryan

Luckily, Bryan still has time to cook me fabulous meals.  I am one lucky gal.

Two Sundays ago, we took a ferry ride down to the Gig to visit Mom and Dad

The one benefit of waking up early enough to see the sunrise.  A beautiful sunrise!

Bryan attempted No-Shave November, but made it a week.

Need I say more?  HAPPY 90th AUNT TRUDY!
