Girls Night Out

Well I'm a little late posting about the holidays so I'm 

skipping it for now but I will catch up!

My visiting teachers had the idea that every month we 

should get together (w/ all whom they visit) and have a

brunch. So yesterday we

Went to Zandra's (on the far right) and had an amazing morning.

She had the table all set formally with a printed out

summary of the message for the month. 

I always look forward to getting together with them!

Another thing I do every month is get together with my girlfriends!

We call it GNO, our girls night out.

This month we went to Artist For A Day

It's where you get to pick your ceramic item and paint it up. 

I'll have to post a pic of our final products when we get them.

And it was Kami's 24th B-Day!

We had such a fun time and I recommend going to one of these places if 

you haven't already, and doing something once a month with your girls...

it's really a therapy session as we laugh out all of our stresses.

Thanks for the good times!!

Ugly Sweater Party

Last night we went to an Ugly Sweater Party at

Jake & Candice's house.

It was a lot of fun to see all of the ugly sweaters people could find. 

I had a struggle to find something good and I didn't want to go out and buy one.

I called up my parents to see if they had anything ancient we could use and found nothing.

My mom had the idea to call up my grandma. Obviously I wasn't going to tell her it was an "Ugly" sweater party so I just told her we were 

having a sweater party(which isn't a lie) and she agreed 

that she would have something I could use. I felt bad deceiving her. 

When I got there she had a lot of her "Holiday Sweaters" (as she called them)

 laid out for me to choose. I got her to let me take a few(because Todd needed one), under 1 condition...she told me "well these are my holiday sweaters so I wear them during the holidays...when can you have them back?" This made me giggle inside because she still wears them. For any of you that knows my funny grandma

just picture her in these. She is so funny. 

I know the pictures are blurry but you can get the gist. 

We played Yankee Swap/White Elephant gift exchange and some other fun games.

Todd just looked so funny in his. 

New Job!

I just started my new job at 

Jared the Galleria of Jewelry!

Finally I have a respectable job. No more Joe's Crab Shack.

It has been great so far and I love all of the people I work with. 

It is really hard to not go shopping on down time

We will see how long I can go without buying any 

Le Vian Jewelry (I love the chocolate diamonds).

Also Todd is currently the top salesman in ALL

Gold's Gyms in the Treasure Valley!!

Way to go Todd. 

He has around 25 clients now and is doing such a 

great job and he loves it too. 

Only good news to report here!

Halloween!

~Good times for Halloween~

Another party with my side nieces & nephews.

They had some adorable costumes that just made me laugh.

The Kindle

I would read a lot more books if I had one of these!

I love Autumn!

I just love the Autumn colors on the trees outside. 

There have been some really crisp days but every once in a while

you will get just the perfect mix of sunshine and warmth 

to go for a nice walk.

I love burning fall scents! 

It gets me excited for the Holidays.

Once I started burning Sticky Cinn. Bun 

I was thinking Christmas already!

There are many more I have yet to try.

My favorite Fall Scentsy scents (& burners above):

• Sticky Cinnamon Bun (burning right now)
• Peach Cobbler Cinnamon
• Baked Apple Pie
• Nutmeg & Orange Zest
• Pumpkin Roll (mmm)

Memories...

Per request from my last post, I only have the one's of me.

I was 6 in the picture on the left. 

I just have to laugh at my outfits and hairdo's.

Apparently I liked pink.
