Big Moment...

Randon has been gone now for 4 1/2 days and 4 nights. I miss him so terribly! He will be in here in an hour! Anyway, Dena was with me two of those nights, and my friend Mary (whom I ADORE) came Monday night...but she couldn't come Tuesday night. So I slept all alone at my apartment last night! I have never slept in a home alone before. My own bed, yes. My own room, yes. The Basement, yes. But never have I EVER had to sleep in a house by myself. And I did it! Big Moment. Yay me!

This Weekend...

So this weekend, Randon went to Las Vegas for a job interview, leaving me all alone (this is the part where you feel sorry for my pathetic-ness). But my DENA came!! It was so much fun! I love spending time with her. She is so wonderful! We did a number of super fun things.

We ripped, cut, measured, layed out and compared, and sewed jeans. I'm making a T-shirt/Jean quilt for Randon for Christmas. My first big quilt ever so I'm very excited! I really appreciated Dena helping me.

We made a Gingerbread (Graham Cracker) house! It was so much fun! We both ripped our frosting bags and got really sticky, messy fingers! And while we made the house we watched ELF, which, PS is one of the BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER MADE! (Also, I realize that last picture makes me look like the house is stuck to my chin but it was the best one we could get).

We started packing up my house for the big move to....(?). And last but not least, we decorated my house for Christmas! (Why are Christmas lights ALWAYS tangled? No matter how nicely you pack them the year before!)

Thanks for coming Dena! I LOVE YOU!

Also, over the weekend my brother-in-law Jadon got engaged! I'm going to have a new sister! Her name is Amanda and she is a super cute, super sweet girl. I'm very excited to have her join our family! Hooray for Weddings!

I LOVE FALL!

I love everything about Fall! There is just something so magical in the air! The colors, the cool weather, the smells, the carnivals, the treats, the football games, the holidays, the anticipation of being with family at Christmas! I just LOVE IT ALL!

The cool air and the COLORS!

Carnivals

Halloween

Thanksgiving

The smells (apple cinnamon is my FAVORITE holiday smell)

The Treats!

One Year

I totally meant to blog yesterday and then it was really busy. So I will just do it a day late! Yesterday we celebrated Randon's One Year "Survived being hit by a car" anniversary. I can't believe it was a year ago, it seems like just a bad dream. Fortunately, Randon has no lasting injuries. One of his Doctors told him his ankle would be one of those things that told him when bad weather was coming, and that it would probably always bother him somewhat. But that hasn't been the case! YAY! So here's to my husband; may you always be kept safe! I'm so grateful you're alive to bless my life every day! I'm so ThAnKfUl for a loving Heavenly Father who kept you safe in such a scary situation! Here's to your life! Cheers!Just in case you need a little reminder of what his injuries looked like.

Trick or Treat!

For Halloween this year we went to Safford! We had a good ol' time eating chili and scaring trick or treaters at my parents ward trunk or treat. Then Dena and I headed over to her ward carnival for some quick cup cake walk fun! And then we all went to Leslie and Brian's for a Halloween bonfire and party! I love dressing up for Halloween! In fact, I love it so much, my costume changed halfway through night.

Randon, Dena, Dad and Mom, Leslie and Brian, Bella,
Lela'a Friend Whitney, Lela, Me

Bella was a Yard Gnome! She actually POSED for my picture! Could you die? Is she not the cutest thing you have ever seen?

Leslie and Brian switched roles and dressed up as a man and woman. Brian won the best female costume contest!

Dena and Jacob as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. So Cute!

Lela was a Zombie! This was at the end of the night so her hair was put up, but it was pretty wild before!

As I said before...my costume switched during the night. In the very top picture I was cleopatra...and in these I'm a cowgirl! And I'm roping my HOT Indiana Jones!

Randon put on Brian's wig! I just had to put this on because I thought it was HILARIOUS!Happy Halloween!
