November in Idaho

November was pretty eventful.  I had a bit of a melt-down on the theater kids, and then suddenly the play came together pretty fast.  So we're a week and a half from production.  We've run through a couple of times and should be able to run through probably 7 more times before production, so when we get props up there... we'll be golden.  :)

I also had my bridal shower, which was lovely.  Lots of friends and family were there, and it was perfect.  I got tons of great stuff, too.

Troy was also offered the Alaska job, so we are moving December 29th.  For Thanksgiving, we went to his Dad's.  The day goes so much more quickly, the older I get.  No time to just sit and eat and eat and eat all day.  Lame.

I got all the flowers and miscellaneous items for the wedding.  Hopefully I remember to bring them all to Arizona...  I ordered a ring for Troy, so hopefully that comes before the wedding.  I'll be in trouble, if not... 

I am almost done with The Hunger Games Trilogy.  It's been really good.  I definitely recommend them, still.

Well, that's about all I can remember from the last month.  My brain is fried.  :)

October: Head Family Adventures

October was a fun month for us! We started the month by flying to Wisconsin with Katie (Chan's sister) and Mike (her husband). We went to celebrate Octoberfest. There are mini-Octoberfest celebrations here in the West but they simply do not compare to those in the Midwest. We attended the Octoberfest parade which lasted 3 hours (TOO LONG). We hung out with a number of Chan's former high school friends. I met several friends who I had never met before. There was a group of 6 who had recently gotten an old band back together and we went to see them play bluegrass. They were really good so it made for a great time.

On October 16th we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. All together we have been together for 10 years now. It definitely doesn't feel like 10 years!

To finish out the month, Chan was home for Halloween (for the first time in I don't know how many years). We decided to stay home and hand out candy since we're somewhat new to the neighborhood. We were impressed w/ the Trick-or-Treater traffic. They sported great costumes and we got to meet more of our neighbors.

Winter has arrived in Salt Lake City and I have already been bundling up. Fingers crossed for a mild/short winter!

October in Idaho

Well this month was pretty hectic.  Surprise!  The highlights of my October were as follows:

1-I got a root canal.  It took four hours and I was high as a kite on laughing gas.  It was pretty exciting.  While recovering, I also got the stomach flu.  It was an AWESOME week.
2- Troy and I went to Alaska for his interview.  It went well.  We'll know next week if he got the job.  Anchorage is GORGEOUS.
3- I had the best salmon of my life in Alaska.   It was at a restaurant called Glacier Brewhouse, and it was BBQ Bourbon with spinach & garlic potatoes.  It was INCREDIBLE.
4- I missed Frightmares for the first time in about 4 years.  It was a severe downer.
5- Troy and I went and saw The Social Network.  It in no way made me feel any different about Facebook... except I feel more bad for Mark Zuckerberg that these people felt like they did ANYTHING.  That's all.
6- I read the Hunger Games.  It's wicked good if you're into those types of books.  I'd recommend it.  I'm halfway through the second book now.
7- This happened in November, but I got my bouquet last night.  It's pretty.

Other than that, we've just been pickin' away at the play, and I got everything done for the wedding that I can do from Idaho.  Except I still have to get Troy's Wedding Ring.  :/  Any ideas, Jake?

Well, That's about it.

Have a fabulous November.
