My parents drove up from Sacramento for a nice weekend visit November 18 & 19. It was nice to be able to spend time with them in our home and just relax and chat. We spent a good part of Sunday driving around Portland trying to find open houses to look at. Ben and I are trying to figure out what kind of house we can get for our budget in this area. What we found is that we’re going to have to definitely save up for a while before really looking in earnest for a place to call our own.
Ben had to work the day before and the day after Thanksgiving so we decided that it would be best if we just stayed home and celebrated the holiday with just the two of us. I found a recipe for turkey breast with corn bread stuffing. With green beans, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce, it was the perfect amount of food for just the two of us, if not still a little too much. We enjoyed the food and the day off together.
