The St. John’s

November came so fast! Things are going well in the St. John family. Bella is getting bigger everyday, but still is full of energy. She is full of mischief, constantly jumping on the counter, playing with cords, and pretty much doing everything we hope she wouldn’t. But then she jumps up your lap, and loves to snuggle and sleep…and when she does that, I know that I instantly forgive her cute little face!

We just celebrated my 27th birthday…and wow does that sound old! I know it’s not old at all, but for some reason, 27 sounds so much older than 26! I think this was my first birthday that I didn’t want! We had fun though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time with friends and family. I also had a blast shopping with all the gift cards and money recieved as presents (thanks Mom, Debbie and Eloise!), because I LOVE CLOTHES! Made turning another year older feel better =) 

             

The rest of this month seems to be just as busy as our previous months. This weekend we head to Dream Mountain Christian Camp to support our friends Cheree, Marcos, Carl and Jesse as they have their open house for the camp they just bought. It’s so amazing to see how their dream of opening a camp has come to reality, all by the grace of God. It’s amazing how God can open doors when you just rely on Him and His provision. We are so happy for them! Then the following week is, of course, Thanksgiving, which we will be spending with Garrett’s parents. I’m excited for some good eats! After that, I will be going to see Wicked with my friend Brittany in San Francisco. Then Christmas is just around the corner….

We hope everyone has a blessed holiday season with family and friends!

We are excited to share pictures of the newest addition to our family, our kitten Bella =)

We FINALLY asked our landlord if we could get a pet (and by we, I mean I begged Garrett to do it!) and she said yes…then Garrett immediately went out and adopted a cute 4 week old grey tabby. He told me I would love her, and when I came home he was right…love at first sight! She is very friendly, playful and sweet. She loves to chase her mouse toy, her ball, your toes, anything! But she also loves to be pet and cuddled.

We have to give credit to Brittany for coming up with the name…she came up with it immediately when I asked her for help. We both thought it was a perfect fit for her. Thank you Britt!!!

I love cats, and I’m so excited to watch her grow. I’m sure I will be posting more pics later! Although we have found that it’s really hard to get her to stay still or look in the right direction…so this is the best we’ve got!
