Moving...

Present day… I just got done doing a MASSIVE update on our blog. Go back all the way to June for details on our life. Each post is fairly short but you get an idea of what we have been doing.

For those of you who don’t know, we are looking to move. We have picked out a few great houses but want to find that perfect house! We hope to move before the end of the year but we are very sad to leave our neighborhood.

Until Next Time...

Joshua Best

The best way to end/start a month is with a new baby Best! Trent’s sister Megan had her 3^rd baby, Joshua, on September 30^th (she was able to keep up her tradition of having her kids on the last day of the month). He was one big baby weighing in at 9 ½ pounds and 22 ½ inches long! If you don’t know Megan she is a SMALL woman. I don’t understand how such a small woman could birth such a big baby and look as amazing as she did. She was home a few days later and back into her daily routine. She is amazing!

Until Next Time...

Thriller

Several years ago at USU, I went with a few friends to see Thriller. I remember it being great, but I couldn't remember much else. So this year, Trent and I dragged a few friends with us to go see it again. Man, it was so funny! For those of you who haven't seen Thriller and think it is just another 'dance'. This is a great performance to see as couples. It has art for the girl and humor for the boy. It was so fun to see as a group and those of you who are students, you get half priced tickets if you purchase them the day of the show. GO see it next year! It was AMAZING!!!

Invitation

Murder Mystry Dinner

October would be October without a Murder Mystery game and a good scary movie. We went up to Jenny Becks house where she hosted a great Murder Mystery night! We had great food and enjoyed a scary movie afterwards. We watched Darkness Falls and I don’t know if I will allow the tooth fairy into our house now. A creepy twist on a childhood memory. Eekk

Until Next Time...

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

It is that time of year again where your senses are heightened and you know something big is going to happen! Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is almost here!

I will be hosting a pre-movie party where we can chat and snack before its time to head to the theater. With our 19 reserved seats, we can arrive to the movie theater as we please and get ready for our 12:15 showing of Breaking Dawn Part 1 at Jordan Commons.

As I was not able to get as many seats as I initially wanted, I am not taking verbal, written, or assumed reservation. To insure you have a seat to watch our favorite love story, you must pay for your ticket now via Paypal (no cash or checks). To insure an accurate count and to avoid over selling I must have everyone go through Paypal.

Megaplex has also changed their policy to 'no refunds or exchanges'. Meaning any extra tickets left, I cannot return. Because of their change, if you purchase your ticket and are unable to make the movie for any reason, the cost of the ticket is your loss. I will try my best to resale your ticket, but if I cannot, I will not be refunding your money. (Feel free to resale your ticket on your own as well.) I understand you might be hesitant to purchase your ticket now, but remember I have less tickets than I did for the last showing.

Please invite any friends and family that would enjoy another girls night out!

If you have any questions about anything, please give me a call. I can't wait to get our Edward/Jacob groove on.

Until Next Time...

Lake Powell

And just when you thought all the fun was over! The week we got back from St. Thomas we jumped in the car and went to Lake Powell. If I told you I had never been to Lake Powell would you believe me? What if I told you neither Trent nor myself had ever been to Lake Powell…turns out we haven’t! Well, that we can remember at least. A trip at the age of1 doesn’t count. Anyways… we joined a bunch of our friends for a tip down south! It was so much fun to be with everyone for a few days and relax. With hardly any cell service we really had the chance to bond in a new way! We had great fun tubing, skiing, wake boarding, relaxing, eating, exploring, and more!You can count on many more trips to Lake Powell next year now that we know what all the fuss is about. Anyone is welcome to come!

Until Next Time...

SHARK!!!!! RUN!!!!

Trent has always wanted a shark and we happened to be at the fish store where they had a decent size shark that wasn’t CRAZY expensive. So… after a few hours of thinking about it we went back to the store and got him. He is an Iridescent Shark which is a breed of catfish.

After having him home for a few hours we started doing some research (yes, after bring him home). At this point we found out that he will (given the room) get up to 4 feet long and needs more room than the standard fish. So our little 39 gallon tank was not going to work even for his current size of 8 inches. Why does he need more room you ask… well the nick name of these guys is ‘tank breakers’. They are a very skiddish fish and spook easily. When they are scarred they swim fast and need room to settle down. If they are in too small of a tank they swim so fast and hit the sides of the tank. As they grow and gain strength, they hit the sides of the tank SO hard they 1) hurt themselves and/or 2) break the tank. There have been many that have cracked and shattered their tanks. So, after reading this we quickly started our search for a new tank! Thanks to KSL we found a HUDGE tank for really cheap!

Once in the house we realized our living room was not big enough for our new massive fish tank and our TV. So… the TV got booted downstairs. Yes, we are crazy, yes we didn’t think this through, and yes we are happy! I have always been a pet person so having 4 fish tanks in our living room was wonderful!

Growing up with the ticking of clocks all over our house, the sound of filters doing their job was music to my ears! We are now down to two tanks but it won’t be the last! As our family grows and our interests broaden I will never say no to a pet. (I will however struggle when one of our kids asks for a tarantula.) One day when I am confident our dogs won’t kill a pet bird, we will have one, or maybe two squeaky friends!
