My dear husband made steaks for dinner tonight! This was his first attempt in recent years (i.e. post-college) to cook steaks, and they turned out so well! He followed a straight-forward Alton Brown recipe involving a kosher salt, black pepper, and a cast-iron skillet. It’s incredibly fast and easy!
Love getting to cook with my hubby. 🙂
This week Tad and I finally put up our Christmas tree! We love how cute our little tree is. We also got a bunch of wrapping done AND mailed out our Christmas cards!
Mom made us an adorable little bird hanging decoration for Christmas. Here it is, looking at our tree.
We are so excited to be spending our first Christmas together.
On Friday, Tad and I found out that the house we had under contract (and had been pursuing since August) fell through. We were disappointed, definitely, but we see this as a clear sign from God that this is not the house for us.
We started looking at other houses on the internet right away, and our realtor was able to take us inside two of them (and we drove by a third) on Saturday. A couple of the houses had potential, and there are even a few more on the market that we’re going to try and see next week.
We are trusting God’s leading and timing in our housing situation, and we are looking to Him when we feel discouraged!
