Gary comes home!

I just talked to Gary and he gets home tomorrow!!! Its been 3 weeks!!! Ben and I are SO excited to see him!!

What to do??

Thanksgiving is approaching fast and before we know it Christmas will be here! Were spending Christmas in New Mexico with my family this year...I am SO excited!

But I am torn...do I decorate the house for Christmas?

This will be our 3rd Christmas at this house (we moved November 4th, 2006). The 1st Christmas we had a little tree up and it was cute, but there were like 50000 little ornaments and it drove me nuts. I like big ornaments. Easy ornaments. I would also like to have a tree that has lights already on it, yes Im lazy but I HATE putting lights on a tree, nothing bothers me more than going around the dang tree a million times. But that kinda tree comes with a big(ger) than I want to pay for price tag.

So I either cough up the money and buy a tree and ornaments. Or just settle with my little tree on the coffee table. Im not putting up the one we had the 1st year, it drove me crazy! It kept falling over!

If you have any ideas let me know....

Halloween!

Halloween!

We had a lot of fun that day, we carved pumpkins, raked leaves, then we went with Garys sister and helped take our niece and nephew trick or treating. We had a lot of fun!
Ben was Yoda!
You can tell he's not happy!

Our Routon Baby!

This was fun to make!

You've all seen the commercials for the VW Routon Mini Van. Well if you go to their website you can upload pictures of who ever you would like and it "makes a baby" this is ours.

Random Note: I am now down 9.3lbs since starting the Wii Fit. This is seriously the longest Ive ever stuck with an exercise regimen. I love it!

A little bit of fall!

The snow finally melted and it feels like Fall is finally here!! So with Fall comes some more decorations, I'm not very good at this whole decorating thing. Mostly, I don't have time to try and see how things will look together.

Gary is really good at arranging stuff but he's out of town, so it's all up to me. So I wanted to share these pictures cause Im proud of my little accomplishments. The bobble pumpkin I got at TaiPan. I must say I love that store! I spend way to much money every time I go in there!!

That copper pot/vase thingy always gets different flowers with every season/holiday. So maybe I do keep up a little with decorating. The bowl on the coffee table also gets something new in it (I bought all that stuff at TaiPan too :)Gary is back out of town so its just me and Ben again. I took him to Petsmart for a bath, now he's shiny, smells good, and is relatively shed free for a few days.Ooh some good news...I am now down 5.2 lbs since I bought the Wii & Wii fit!! Not a big loss but I'll take it. School is insane as always...both schools, school school, and school work, the latter keeps me way more busy than studying. I never thought working full time and school full time would be this exhausting! I need to hire someone to clean my house!

SNOW!!

This morning we woke up to snow! I cant believe it...it's only the12th of October!

But at least now I get to go buy new snow boots!! Although, thats not that excititng, there arent many cute snow boots.

A reason to like Utah

I have been complaining about how much I hate Utah, well today, on my way to a roadside veggie/fruit stand, I realized that there are a couple things I like about Utah.

One: The veggie/fruit stands have my favorite fruits at different times of the summer. Cherries first, then peaches, then apples.

Two: Fall is so beautiful here, especially in the mountains. I love that I can look out of my living room window and see a mountain and how it changes every day.

Ok thats all I got so far...if I think of more, I'll have to add them.
