How Time Flies!

I thought I would break with tradition and post the monthly update a little early. A lot has happened in these past couple of weeks. I took lots of pictures along the way, so enjoy those.

1. BYU Football game. It was....not sure. we didn't make it to Utah. Nate and I were really excited and got all packed and left IF. We got to about Shelley and realized that the pre-game show was already on. Apparently I had not heard the starting time correctly. So we turned back around and headed home. I guess we weren't supposed to go after all. :(

2. My husband is a mechanic genius! He had been working on Matt's car for just over 2 weeks trying to fix it. He would fix one thing and then found that there were more issues. Then there was no power and he had to figure that out. After it was all said and done, the car came alive and is working great! Matt was ecstatic to have his baby back!

3. Trevor had a birthday!!!! We all packed into Lisa's car and headed down to Pocatello on Sunday. We had a nice dinner and had fun with everyone. Trevor's cake turned out awesome! Michelle....you are the queen of all cake makers!!! I made 3 batches of Sour Cream Potatoes...knowing that there would be extras. Michelle loves the things and she is 8 months pregnant.... so I didn't want to mess with her.





4. We had a Wii party with some of Nate's family. Heather and Rob and Derek and Brooke came over for a little fun. It was a hit and it was some fun friendly competition.






5. Halloween was fun at work. This year we did "Peter Pan". It turned out pretty good. We didn't win, but we had a lot of fun putting it together. We kinda did a combination of Hook and Peter Pan, so I decided to be the Old Wendy in Hook. I wore a grey wig and pajamas. It was very relaxing!









6. Month End was crazy and I had to work the Midnight shift. I was sad because I wanted to pass out treats at our new house. Nate handled that job and said it was fun. He even said some kid walked right into our house without knocking. I looked ahead and I am scheduled to work on New Years Eve also. I am going to switch that though :) I am not working both of the Holidays. Derek and Emma came and visited Nate on Halloween. They were Curious George and The Man in the Yellow Hat. They looked really cute.



7. Pumpkin Carving. Nate and I squose this in the night before Halloween. We did a quick job, but they both turned out really good. I even made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bread with some of the pumpkin. It was yummy!





8. Thanksgiving will not come fast enough! I only have 9 more days to work and then I have 6 working days off! Yeah!!! We also found out that Ryan is coming, so that means we will have the entire family here..... minus his daughter Mia.

9. Keep Ryan in your prayers. He is going through a lot right now and needs our thoughts and prayers. Ella has expressed she is moving back to Germany and she is taking Mia and Sarah and she is not coming back. She has now changed her phone # and Ryan has no way of contacting her. It is really scary!

10. Life can change in an instant! A dear friend at work found out that she has cancer. She is going in for surgery on Monday to find out the seriousness and to determine if she has to have more surgery. It is really scary and I hope and pray that everything comes out ok for her.

11. Election Time. What an amazing time! It took 2 1/2 hours to vote this year. Our precinct was set up RETARDED!!!! I gave Lisa my feedback. It was really cool to know that you were a part of making history....too bad it was the history we wanted to make :( I know that there are some readers reading this that were for Obama....but I was not. The next couple of years will be very very interesting. I have been thinking about this a lot since the election and I have heard quite a few conversations concerning the matter. Here are just a couple tidbits:
a) double or triple your food storage immediately!!!
b) have an emergency fund set up with at least $1000.00
c) Obama is pro abortion. I just did not know the extent of this.
Apparently he is pro abortion all the way to 3 days AFTER the baby
is born. I am sorry... no matter how you look at this... it is
murder!!!! It is a living, breathing, being.
d) brace yourself for attacks just like 9/11 here in the US
e) Buy a gun now if you want one.... you may not be able to soon

12. Trevor and Andrew took some pictures for me on my camera. They did did pretty good, so enjoy those.














Whew.... I think I am done! Sorry once again for being so long!

It was good to finally hear an update!! I wish I could have been back at Melaleuca for Halloween. I definitely miss that! You guys all looked so cute! And I agree completely with everything you said about Obama!! Dave is already planning on where he might have to burry our guns in the backyard. :)
