Thanksgiving

We had a nice thanksgiving today. I had to work 9-12, which was not bad at all. It went by really fast!
Then we went to my grandma's house for Thanksgiving Lunch! We brought hashbrown casserole-yummy! And we had ham, turkey, green beans, Mac & cheese.. So much delicious food!
My grandma, mom and I went through all the sale ads and planned out our black Friday trip!! Now I'm laying on the couch resting because 2:00 AM is going to arrive quick!! :)

Thanksgiving!!

Pablo & I hosted out 3rd annual Friends Thanksgiving Dinner Saturday night! I made ham & hashbrown casserole and everyone else brought a dish! It was so much fun and the food was all delicious!! We had a great turn out- 13 people here!! I love having people over at our apartment especially at this time of the year! I'm DYING to decorate the apartment for Christmas but I refuse to put any Christmas decor out until after Thanksgiving! :) so this weekend our apartment will be a Winter Wonderland!
We are getting to celebrate Thanksgiving 3 times this year- yesterday, Thursday and Sunday! Waahoooo!!! I love all this holiday food-I think I need a gum membership because I love to eat too much! Haha!
Friday is one of my most favorite days of the year-BLACK FRIDAY!!!!! It has been a tradition in our family forever! It's so fun to wake up SUPER early and search for the deals & getting to spend time with mom, grandma & my cousins is an added bonus!!

5 days til Black Friday & 6 days til Christmas decorating! ;)

beautiful bride.

Here are some of the Bridal Portraits Jason Pendley Photography took of me earlier this year! I have been dying to show them to everyone!!! I'm so glad that now I can post them everywhere I want! :) These are some of my favorites of the session!

This is my most favorite!

My mom's favorite!

This one is just cute! I love the red shoes!

It was a lot of fun to take these pictures! I was lucky to be able to work with Jason and Marlon for my wedding photography needs. Jason took my Bridal Portraits and Marlon took our wedding photos! They were both WONDERFUL to work with and I would highly recommend both of them!

Once I receive the disc of the wedding pictures I will post some of them on here as well!

Gabriel update:

He is doing very well!! (YAY!) His counts are currently up and he is a happy baby! I have not been able to see him in person but Erika has been supplying me with lots of pictures of the lil chunky monkey! :) He starts another round of chemo on Monday and this is suppose to be a really rough round! So please keep him in your prayers as he continues on his journey! He's a strong little boy for sure but we just need to continue to pray and have positive thoughts to help him and his parents through this!

Sunday Pablo & I are having our parents over at our apartment for the first time for dinner! We are so excited to have them over to see our home! I'm so excited, I can't wait!

I feel official

Thursday I officially became Lura Sierra! Pablo and I got up had BBQ cups for breakfast (YUM!) then we headed down to Marietta to the Probate Court to get our Marriage Certificate. That was quick and easy. Then we went to the Social Security office, which I was dreading because i expected it to take forever! But to my pleasant surprise it only took 30 minutes and the lady at the window was really nice!! :) we went to the DMV where the "front desk" lady was not so nice.. But the guy that changed everything for me was really nice and had a very dry sense of humor (which I love). So that was fun! I got a new cute picture on my awesome paper drivers license. The best part-I didn't have to pay anything to update them!! Yay!!! It was a great day!

Now today,Sunday, I'm laying in my warm comfy bed not wanting to get up but I am hungry and can smell my coffee that just finished "brewing"! Have a great day everyone! Enjoy your extra hour!!!

Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween!
I started my day by going to church! It was the first time in like 2 months because of all the wedding stuff going on I haven't been able to go. It was nice to be back! The music was amazing this morning!!

I made some yummy cupcakes for Halloween at the Sierra's! My parents and brother went to Pablo's parents too! It was nice to have the whole family together. Except Macho & Erika didn't come. We really miss them & hope to see them soon!!

Here are some Halloween pictures from tonight.

Miss Isabel as a Tulip Fairy (she said it was Dora-she's 3, we let her think what she wants) haha



Off to get candy!



Here's one of Alexis & Gabriel that I "borrowed" from Erika's Facebook ;)

Atempting artsy

I love making stuff, painting stuff, taking pictures. I'm not really that great at any of it but I do enjoy it non the less. So I downloaded this fun app on my phone called hipstamatic it's a camera with different lenses and film. It's fun to take pictures of things and see how they turn out. Here's some I have taken with that app










This one I just edited. This is my friends little boy! It's he adorable?!

Pumpkins!!!

Pablo & I had our 1st Annual Pumpkin Carving Party at the apartment tonight!! It was so fun! I made chili with all the fixings and it was a HUGE hit. There is NONE left! Which makes me happy that everyone loved it! Then we carved some pumpkins. This is something I have always done my whole life. My dad usually was the carver, I was the one the dig out the "guts". But this year I did everything for my own pumpkin, which was fun!! Here's my pumpkin



It's an owl in a tree! I think it's so cute! Pablo made one called Boneheads, it's really cool looking.



We enjoyed it so much we are going to do this every year!

Saturday night we went to Poe Down 2010 @ Poe Farms! It was not only their annual fall party it was also Mrs.Patricia Poe's 60th birthday!! She is such a wonderful lady so there is no way we could miss out on celebrating with her!! Here are some pictures from PoeDown 2010!

My aunt Nikole, mom and me with Jason. He was such a great help for the wedding!!



My uncle and Mrs. Patricia dancing! (a little blurry-they were breakin' it down) :)


The band that played all night! They were great!!



A little update on Gabriel:
He is back at the hospital to receive his chemo treatments. He started them Friday night. They got the results back from the PET scan and he has a tumor on his kidney and adrenal gland. After the 1st 6 weeks of chemo is over they will do surgery to remove the tumors. From what Erika has told me he is doing good. I can't wait to go down and see him!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!
