Weekend Randoms

* A couple of weeks ago I made a pretty huge decision... to start a photography business! I was really scared to order something so expensive but I did. Weston and I talked about it and we needed me to be bringing in some extra income and I really wanted to try to make it work to work from home. I think with any business that you run there is always a risk involved... so we went out on a limb and I'm hoping I don't crash and burn! We will see. I received the camera the day before Thanksgiving and I'm in the process of learning it. I planned on taking the girls pictures in some new dresses, but the weather wasn't cooperating, so hopefully tomorrow!! Now all I need is my sewing/embroidery machine and I will be set : )

* We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we both missed family, but we were thankful to be together and we invited a couple of families over to have Thanksgiving dinner with us. Weston's fried turkey was SUPER yummy!

* All weekend the girls have been on the go, one night they spent the night with their new friends, and the next night a friend spent the night with us. They have been having a lot of fun playing with their new friends!

* Ama has lost another tooth... she is now missing her two front teeth on the top, and one side tooth on the bottom, she looks so cute ; )

* My mom sent me a gift card to Kohl's and a coupon to use on Black Friday and that's the only shopping we did, but we only went two dollars over what she sent us and we got some new curtains for the living room, a rod and two curtain hooks! We were super excited. A few people told us that we would need black out curtains for our glass sliding doors, especially how our house sits, the sun would hit it just right and our living room/dining room would be very hot. So that's what we got : )

Here's a few pictures to share!

A shelf my mom made from an old door frame, Weston put hooks in it for me and this is in our entryway!

Ama has refused to let me take her picture...this is the only one I got, after her first bike wreck (have I mentioned that she can finally ride her bike with NO training wheels!!)

Weston putting the turkey in, it was so good!

Tabor Family Update!!!

We have been SUPER busy since our household goods have arrived. The girls always want to be outside so it has been hard trying to unpack and watch them outside too, but we are getting there : ) We still have lots to do!  As far as the girls go, they love it here. We live on a cul-de-sac (had to google how to spell that), so it is perfect for them, all the kids come out and play and ride their bikes or scooters. Our house has recently became the current hotspot for the kids because of the trampoline in the backyard. And it's fun too, the adults hang out and talk while the kids play.

As far as Weston goes... so far he is liking his Unit, he's loving being home with his family, and is really liking Fort Hood.... that's all he gave me : ) 

Me... I'm fabulous : )  I love it here. I love living in base housing strictly for the fact that it is a Military community. I really like the girls that are on our street, I can see myself becoming good friends with several of them!

As far as churches go, we went to a church last weekend and we really enjoyed it. They were celebrating Veteran's Day and it was really emotional, being in a Military town and recognizing all the veterans brought tears to mine and Weston's eyes. The kids came in with American flags and a thank you banner and all the veterans received a flag from a child. The whole service was really touching. The church we attended this morning I found by accident when we first got here. The lady at Ama's school sent me on a wild goose chase to have a paper filled out and I was sent to an office that I really was not supposed to go to, but maybe I was sent there just for the reason I would see this big church across the street from the office... I remember telling Weston that day about the big church and telling him at some point I wanted us to try it out. We went this morning and at first when we walked in I wasn't so sure. It was packed. We had to wait in a line just to drop our kids off and when we did see where our girls would be I was blown away... After getting the girls arm bands and we taking their numbers we made our way to the sanctuary... I can't even describe how I felt... no doubt at all I felt God strongly in there, and the last time I experienced worship like that was at youth convention when I was a teenager, it was amazing. I'm pretty sure I cried through most of praise and worship. The lights were off, the praise team was amazing and everyone in frost of us was entering into worship. It was so refreshing. The pastor was awesome... Weston and I both loved him, and his wife is the worship leader... Weston and I both left there not saying we liked it, we LOVED it. Neither of us have no desire to try a different church right now, we can't wait to go back and get involved. In case you want to peek, here's their website  http://destinywoc.com/index.htm

Family Turkey Project

Just wanted to share a project Ama brought home from school for homework... it was a family project, which I loved! It was a turkey on a big piece of cardboard and everyone in the family had to color the turkey together.
