We're Back...

From California! We had such a fun time.  We got in Friday night and headed straight to Disneyland to meet Todd's cousin Tanner and his friend Bri.  We have so much fun with them and it was so good to see them! We were there till about midnight and then we headed to the apartment which is about 30min. away to meet up with my sister and her boyfriend.  On our way there I looked out the window and I see this orange thing out of the corner of my eye, and I looked over and it was a huge FIRE! We could see the wildfires going from the freeway.  It was nuts and a little freaky/scary that they were going on and couldn't be stopped because of the wind that night.  It was cool to see though thats for sure! The next day we went to the fashion district, my new favorite shopping spot, and while we were there we got rained on by ashes from the fires.  It reeked of smoke and it was getting a little annoying! We had planned to meet my sister at Disneyland and I called her and she said it was even worse over at Disneyland.  We got there around 4 and on the way we saw the orange sun like in the picture below.  It was crazy and it was super cloudy and smoky but there weren't any ashes falling so it wasn't too bad.  Church was next where we saw Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) AND his twin brother.  We have never seen them together so that was cool.  We had a fun weekend and it was jam packed! The only bad thing was the smoke and ashes, but we got used to it.  We are headed down to California again on Wed. to spend the holidays there so we are excited!

I also have started a new job! (Hence the reason for the late post!!) I am working for a podiatrist and I am loving it! I have been working everyday this week so I am a little tired but other than that it has been so fun.  I am learning lots of new things and it is fun to interact with so many people everyday.  I think its going to work out great.  (And I get free massages every other Thursday, including today.  It was wonderful!) Have a great Friday everyone and a great weekend!!

Off to...

With my husband, my sister Liz and some of her friends.  We are going for a quick trip because the lease on the apartment we always use is up at the end of November, so we had to get in a trip before we no longer had the apartment! We are also going to Disneyland so I'm very excited! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Free Apron!

My amazingly talented sister, Jane, is giving away an apron for her birthday tomorrow.  Now, most of you are probably thinking, uhh, an apron? What's so good about an apron? WELLLLL...my sister is an amazing seamstress and makes these aprons herself! And they are so so CUTE! See, for every girl birthday in our family, (Moms, sisters, sister-in-laws, etc.) she makes a cute apron and names it after them.  Well, her birthday is tomorrow and she is giving away an apron AND she is giving you 3 entries. Just visit her blog HERE, and follow the directions.  Its that simple! Seriously people, these aprons are so cute, and if you win you even get to pick the color of your apron...AND she will name it after you. Check it out people!! And, Happy Birthday Jane! I am so lucky to have you for a sister! You have taught me so much and I look up to you more than you know! Thanks for being such a great sister!

We spent our Halloween handing out candy and taking my nieces around the neighborhood.  We also had a trial run of our costumes.  We were David and Victoria Beckham.  My wig that I wore was driving me nuts, it was the last one at the store so it was kind of smashed back on a rack and it had gotten a little messed up.  This was what our costumes looked like on Friday...and this is what they looked like on Saturday night, when we went to a Halloween Party hosted by our friends the Erbs and the Wrights.  Thanks guys!! We had a lot of fun and I think our costumes turned out pretty good! (After I fixed my wig!!)I'm so sad I didn't get more pictures, but there's always next year! Any costume ideas?!
