Amazing Date Afternoon/Night

I just wanted to quickly do a post on how sweet my husband is! This past week Forrest called me from work to ask me on a date for Saturday. After being excited all week long, Saturday finally made it here and we set out about 3pm for our adventure. First we went to MacQueen's Apple Orchard (pictures to come later). After tasting apple cider and picking up some Honey Crisp apples we headed to our next stop. We wound up at a pick your own pumpkin patch! They also had pansies, which haven't made an appearance here this year until very recently. We picked our own pumpkins, got a hay bail, and got two flats of pansies and violas. Then we grabbed a quick bite to eat and found ourselves at a drive in movie!!! I had never been to one before so I was super excited. We wound up seeing a double feature that included Couple's Retreat and Love Happens. Both cute movies. Any way, we got home super late but it was such a fun afternoon/evening of things I had been wanted to experience but hadn't yet. I have such a thoughtful husband! :)

Baby Shower

No, not for us :)

A few weeks ago our friends the Seen's from our Young Married's group at our church had their first little baby boy. About a month ago, my friend Meredith and I hosted a baby shower for Kot and Laurie. Meredith and I had such a great time planning, buying and decorating for the shower. Below are a few of the pictures from the event. Sadly we didn't get any with the mom and dad to-be. :(

Baby blue punch

Kot & Laurie are missionary interns at our church and have a heart for missions in China so Meredith made panda cookies and bottles.

The chocolate fountain was a BIG hit.

Poor Maggie really wanted to come inside and be apart of the festivities!

The panda bear cake I made and decorated with piped icing. You can't really see it but he has a pacifier in his mouth :)
