Fall weather has finally arrived in South Texas and I couldn't be happier! If you look inside my closet, it consists of more sweaters, jackets, and long sleeves than anything else; you would think I live up North.
I feel like this weather came at the perfect time because its setting the mood for Thanksgiving week and boy is this girl ready to grub! Not only am I excited for Thanksgiving, but my sister Stephanie is coming into town with her husband Mathew and my niece Addison. They haven't been to Corpus in several years, so its going to be fun to hang out and spend time together.

After eating, I tend to check out all the Black Friday sales, but I'm definitely not that person that goes on Thanksgiving. I'd rather stay at home, watch The Santa Clause or Christmas with the Kranks, and not deal with all of those long lines. I prefer going shopping on Black Friday. I wait till about 9am to leave the house and I have to get my Starbucks skinny peppermint mocha and taco from my favorite Mexican restaurant (it's tradition, ok?).
This Saturday is Shop Small Saturday and my clothing line 11:11 Apparel will be selling at a local coffee shop called Coffee Waves from 11am - 2pm with many other local vendors as well as food trucks. There is also going to be a donation drawing for Metro Ministries of Corpus Christi, Women's Shelter of South Texas, and PAAC. Its going to be a great time, so if you're nearby be sure to stop by!
This week I am reminded of how blessed I am to have such a loving family and boyfriend who are always there for me and support me in anything I do. I hope that you have an incredible Thanksgiving filled with your loved ones and yummy food.
What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
Remember, there is always something to be thankful for.
