 I am so thankful for my amazing and very beautiful friends, my sometimes crazy family and everything else in between. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because of all the great food my family makes. Sadly I will not be with my family and friends in Atlanta, but no worries I will be with my second family, and my (also very beautiful) friends here in Illinois. Photos will ensue.

            

 Absolutely Beautiful

                                                          

One day I am going to throw a big outdoor dinner party, complete with lanterns in the trees and gorgeous flowers everywhere. 

 I hope everyone has an AMAZING thanksgiving!!

Turkey on the brain...ok pie

 I have a serious pie addiction. 

After going to Just desserts in Alton Illinois with a few friends (whoever lives in this area..you must go) I was hooked. 

We ordered three slices of pie. 

1. peaches and cream. which was oh so amazing. baked fluffy cream cheese on top and perfectly tart peaches. It was like eating a little piece of heaven

2. caramel-apple pecan pie. this was the one I ordered. I am sure we all looked crazy at this table, because after we took the first bites of pie we couldn't stop "mmm-ing" and "oh my goddd-ing". You would have thought we were having a moment.

3. Mrs. Ledbetter's chocolate pie. This one was a suprise for me. I didnt think I was going to like it. Oh boy was I wrong. Honestly, I cant even describe how perfect this pie is. You will have to find out for yourself. Check out below to get your endorphin fix.
