PUMPKIN CENTERPIECES + (2015) FRIENDSGIVING INVITATION

I am pulling two posts that I wrote last fall to share with you today. It's that time of year to decorate for all things fall, and to start planning for Friendsgiving, if you are hosting! I shared all about hosting as a young wife, and you can read those posts, here.

Last year I decided to make our fall centerpieces for Friendsgiving. I ended up liking them so much that I left them out until it was time to decorate for Christmas. They were really simple to make, and fit perfectly on our tables.

You can find the supplies that you'll need and step by step directions (with pictures) on how to make these centerpieces, here!

Next up is the invitation that I designed for Friendsgiving last year. I went with the Friends theme and they were a hit with all of our guests, especially my sister, who is obsessed with the show. ;)

I designed the invitation in PicMonkey and printed them out at home to mail to all of our guests.

I have already started picking up some things for Friendsgiving this year, and I am getting very excited. I designed the invitation for this year a few weeks ago, and I will be sharing it next week, so stay tuned! 

Are any of you hosting Friendsgiving or even Thanksgiving this year? I would love to hear about it!

PUMPKIN CENTERPIECES + (2015) FRIENDSGIVING INVITATION

It was a fall weekend

It all started Thursday night of last week.  We had a pumpkin painting party after our singing at the SOC house. Someone from our church has a farm and always donates a bunch of pumpkins to us.

 

Friday night the SOC went to the corn maze! The weather was actually really nice. We had a good time and had a great turnout! Since it was so dark I didn't get any pictures.   Saturday morning I headed home for the rest of the weekend. I went to the pumpkin patch with my family. Tt was HOT...for October anyways. It was in the low 80's. It's kinda hard to dress in cute fall clothes when you feel like you are melting!!

 

 Love all things fall...even cute little dirty pumpkins ;)

We ended the night with a warm fire and s'mores!

 

Matthew, his dad and brothers went to the Mississippi State game up in Kentucky this weekend with some friends for a guys weekend. State won and they had a good time! He was so excited to go and I'm really glad they won and had a good time!!

 

It has still been pretty warm but it should be cooling off and be in the 50's this weekend...joy.

This week is going to be busy but fun! We have Halloween activities going on tonight and Thursday night. I am so excited to dress up for the Halloween party this Thursday!!

 

This is the first weekend in a long time that we don't have plans, so I told Matthew I have a surprise date for him this Saturday afternoon/night. I am going to be giving him hints throughout the week! He HATES waiting and has already been asking a hundred questions. So cruel but so fun! HA!

Free tickets + a shootout

Monday night I got four free tickets to the Predator's game for the following night. We asked Matthew's brother because he and his girlfriend, Jenny, are huge Pred's fans. So we left Tuesday a little after five to make it there in time. We were about 30 miles away from Cookeville when we realized we forgot to print the tickets off... So we looked up the nearest printing place and made a little pit stop to print them off :)

  We met up with some friends and all walked in together. Once we got inside this older gentleman asked our friends if they wanted lower bowl seats...for free,  how cool is that?!?!

 

The game went into overtime and then a shootout. I had never been to a game where they had a shootout so it was an experience! Our friend called us and told us to come down there with them because no one had been sitting in front of them the whole game. So we got to watch the shootout from the lower bowl. The Predators won and it was awesome!

 

We parked at LP field since it's free, so we had to walk over the pedestrian bridge and got to enjoy this incredible view. I love downtown Nashville at night.

 

 

It was such a fun night and great game!!

  Also, I finally have my fall decorations up outside of my apartment! It's not much but I don't have much room outside my apartment this year.

 

I went to the same place I did last year to get my mum. I haven't been able to find any mums as perfect as this place. Seriously, I'm going to have to drive to Cookeville once I move to get my mums in the fall...kidding, maybe ;)

Hopefully, if we have time next week Matthew and I will carve the big pumpkin!

It's getting a bit cooler. I woke up this morning and it was about 67 in my apartment. That definitely made getting out of my warm and cozy bed about ten times harder!! I still don't want to turn my heat on though, I have an electric blanket on my bed so I stay warm at night, and it warms up a bit during the day. I'm sure I will be turning it on next month sometime!

  Have y'all turned your heat on yet??
