5 on Friday + GIVEAWAY, Vol. 6

Happy November 1st!
I'm spending this first Friday in November linking up with Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. James and I had a relaxing night watching scary movies {I hate them!} and carving our pumpkin.

This verse. God has really put this one on my heart lately. It's been my constant reminder that He knows better than I do and His plan is so much better than my own.

This video. We're building a bookshelf for my new office. The wood shelves required sanding. Mom and I figured we could do it on our own. We had the electric hand sander down, so we thought it was time to graduate to the belt sander. It wasn't..
.

No one was hurt, and the sanding continued with bruised egos and without the stupid belt sander.

This pumpkin. Hugh got a makeover! We James did a great job carving him {I provided emotional support}.

This Halloween tradition. Chili and cornbread has been a Halloween tradition ever since I can remember. It was the perfect late snack night after trick-or-treating! I may not be home anymore, but the tradition will continue.
Chili with jalapeno cheddar cornbread..YUM!

  4. Hi Taylor, new to your blog via 5 On Friday. I love that bible verse as well.

    I once tried sanding and I learned that I will never do it again! It was a lot of hard work and arm muscle which I don't have...lol

    Love the pumpkin, great job on carving it.

    Hope you have a great weekend.
