Magnolia Farms

Recently...
Mark planned a weekend getaway for our anniversary.
He knows how to make me happy.
We flew out to see our Kristen & her hubby. We spent a couple fabulous days in San Antonio.
Then, we drove to Waco to see the Magnolia Farms.


We arrived after it was closed so we did a walk-about
and snapped some pictures.





Bright and early
the next morning,
Finally, I was able to check it out!

It was exactly like we have seen it on Fixer Upper.
Pristine little garden.



Who doesn't love food trucks?




The infamous Silo's.



 Mark & I had fun walking around 
and plundering through the store.





We ended our visit quicker than we planned so we did a tour bus ride through Waco which was educational and fun.
They drove through and showed some of the homes that have been featured on the show.
They drove through Baylor.
It was neat to see all the places Chip and Jo have talked about through the years.

They sure have made a mark on that small town
and even a bigger mark on all of us who love our own 
"Fixer Upper" projects.








Thankful


I have an endless list of all the blessings in my life.

Every now and then,
I actually sit down and start a list of all that I'm thankful for.

I especially enjoy this week every year
because Mark and I celebrate our wedding anniversary.

What were we thinking getting married on Thanksgiving weekend?
We squeezed it in while on break from college.
It sounded like a good idea at the time.

This year makes 32 years.

I thought it would be fun to do a video with him to share a little about our relationship.

Following the video,
Mark and I went back to make sure we didn't want to change anything
and I realized, 
as we were cracking up with each other that it is 
probably only interesting to ourselves so feel free to skip it.






A few things I learned from the video...

1. My A.D.D. has much difficulty in focussing.  

2. I desperately need a visit to Kayla for a haircut.

3.  It is true that video adds at least 20 pounds to you. 

4. We are so in love with each other.

I'm looking forward to this week.
Kristen is coming and I can't wait!

I hope you have a wonderful week.
