crazy christmas lady

last week i decided it was time to put up the christmas decor.
yes i know it was only the beginning of november.
but i have nothing thanksgiv-ish...
and the cold weather made it feel like christmas!
anyway, i was given a hard time by some people about it..
but after a weekend of non-stop snowing 
and a foot of it now lying in our backyard,
i feel much better. who's laughing NOW? :)








our finishing touch will be putting up our tree day after thanksgiving.
then it will REALLY start to feel like christmas time around here!

our weekend so far

i know it's only friday morning but we've already done so much!
..even with me having a bad cold all week. boohoo.
ever since the semester started, 
i pretty much consider my weekends starting on Thursday afternoon
after my last class of the week, sewing.
speaking of that, i finished my skirt yesterday!

i came out of class to see will by our car with these beauties in hand!
can he be anymore perfect??  :) :)

we spent our night cheering on the Salt Lake ReAl soccer team.

it was so cool to be at a playoff game and in the spirit section too!
we were handed streamers and confetti to throw and stood next to crazy fans with painted faces.. one guy even had the team logo on his bald head. it was awesome!


 i woke up this morning with no voice and completely stuffed up.
i called in sick (it's hard to teach kids when you can't talk or breathe..)
and now i'm being kept company by two cute pups.
a plus side to this day is we woke up to snow! 
when i took the dogs out to potty, it didn't even phase them.
this is Milo's first time playing in the snow.. i think he liked it!


once i get over this bad cold, i plan to enjoy the rest of my weekend!
happy friday, friends!

to going to our first 49er's game.
will even went hunting with his business partners.
here are some pictures of the super fun week we had!

the ghost of Halloweens past


2 years ago (our first holiday together):
(ignore the weird dates.. my old camera was wack.
also, notice will's awesome winky smile.)


last year (our first married Halloween):

 check out that mustache! (it was for our costume)


this year:




halloween.. and just fall in general is our favorite time of year!
it brings back good memories of when we started dating.
back then, i couldn't have predicted my life would be this great.
being married to my best friend is amazing!

happy halloween!

what's been up


“The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments.” 
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
