Ok so I am a big slacker but alot has happened over the past few weeks. My little bro left for his mission in Washington, Everette. We got a new car and best of all school is almost over. I love the holidays!! Will post more later!!

This is us in our Halloween costumes... I know that mine really sucks because its what I wear to work but ya know... when you're short on funds you do what ya can... and so I was a nurse... Lame I know! We went to a party at the neighbors house and it was tons of fun!!

This is Matt doing the ancient art of Yoga.

On wed. October 22nd Emily's Playground was finally dedicated!! This is the poster from out front.

Me and Matt on the swings... that day I also chopped off about 12 inches of hair. I am going to donate it to the locks for love foundation. It was scary... but I like it!

This is all of us on the playground.

This is Matt and I starting the carving process.
These are both of our pumpkins. Mine I used on of the picture stencils... Matt on the other hand did his all free hand.... You never knew he was so good at pumpkin carving.
We are still true blue at heart!! Matt did an awesome job of carving the Aggie Bull!!

Ok so I know that I have been a huge slacker but here are some pictures of what has been going on in the past month. Here is our living room... I know its not clean but hey, I not perfect. We are proud to say that all of the furniture that we have has been donated to our cause... except for our bed. We are lucky ducks!
This is the piano that we got from Johnny and Kelly. They got it from someone else but they don't play so I asked if I could have it! It is great to have a piano in the house again. It was not taken care of so I had some TLC time with it. I filled in all of the scratches and polished her up nicely. Matt was looking on the internet to see if he could find the piano and we found the same one, which is over 100 years old. How sweet is that... a 100 year old piano in my living room. It was way heavy and took 5 men to move it.This is the final look for the piano. Doesn't it look great!!

For my wedding a recieved an apothocary jar (that thing in the picture above) and I love to decorate it! This is the look I made for fall. I am proud to say that I only spent 10 dollars on this lovely decoartion!
So we don't have a washer that works. We have 2 in the basement that don't work... but not one that works. We have a working dryer thanks to mom and dad but it's no good without clean clothes to dry in it! So every week this is where I go to do laundry. Fun for me huh?

OK so this post isn't going to be very pictureful either but i had to let the world know what we have been up to... In the past two week we have put 3000 miles on our car and paid way too much for gas! We got back into Utah on friday the fifteenth. We hunted for apartments...it took way too long to find a good one. We had a wedding on the 20th and a luncheon on the 19th, all of which we helped set up and take down. Then we went to Lake Powell the night of the 20th and stayed there for 3 days of bliss. We came home. School started on the 25, and that night we moved all of our crap into our cute new apartment!! Wow life has been busy. On top of all of that we are both still jobless... looking, but jobless. So I know no pictures is boring but deal with it!

WOW. How time flies! Well in the past month my family came to visit, we lived through a tropical storm, and now the summer is coming to an end. Can you believe I come home in a few days!! I am super excited!! I know that this isn't much but... I have been short on time. So farewell for now and I will update in a better fashion .

Today's Advnture!

So we had a little crazy fun and went .... SKYDIVING!! It was really fun! Hopefully I can get more pictures from some of the other people that were there.

This is us being nervous... can't you tell?
This is the plane that we jumped out of.
This is the crew. I was the only girl that jumped!
This is us in our jumping gear. About 15 min. later we were free falling from 14000 feet!! I was hooked on to a guy named Matt. Ironic huh? So we free fell from 14000 feet to 6000 feet when he pulled the cord and floated nicely down to the ground. I was sick for the rest of the day... with ear aches and woosyness, but it was worth it!!

For our 1 year anniversary Matt got me a Blackberry 8830 phone.... and I LOVE IT. Isn't she beautiful!!

We went to Moody Gardens for our 1 year anniversary. It was a ton of fun! The Aquarium was awesome!! We sat in there for hours looking at the fish.
Matt touching his first starfish.
I think that I look good as a frog don't you...
We wore these awesome glasses for the IMax movies.

Fun In The Sun!

The beach at Galveston. Not the most beautiful but still tons of fun!
A girl from our ward who is my friend and her daughter came with us to the beach. We had fun playing in the mud!

This is us at the fire works from our view at the nursing home. Matt the wonderful husband that he is came and we watched the fire works from work.... yes I had to work. But it ended up being a good night!
The view from the nursing home.
The illegal fireworks that we enjoyed. Did you know that it is illegal to do even sparklers in the city limits... the cops came over and let us know.
These are the two women that I work with everyday! They are amazing and so good to me!

I bought very dark purple finger nail polish and actually wore it on my fingernails. It was fun!
