I know, I know, more blogging...

I feel it's been forever since I've blogged, which is why I have so many NEW posts. I promise just 2 more, and this one is quick. Several weeks ago (end of September or beginning of October), Tiersha and I went to an overnight Bachelorette party for a girl who we know from Brentwood, Christina Pasqua. It was so fun to see her and her sister, and their mom, and to catch up with each other. We ate lots of food, had food massages, sat in the hot tub, and talked A LOT. It was a great little trip up to Park City!

Tyler's Brithday Weekend

Opening presents, dessert party, and dinner with family...

The weekend before Tyler's birthday

Tanner's basketball games, Temple Square, shopping, birthday celebrations (Tanner, Tyler, and Tyler's grandma) and food...

Tyler got a Kindle

This past weekend, November 12th to be exact, was Tyler's birthday. We celebrated with his Mom & her husband, along with his brothers and grandparents the week before up in Salt Lake, but him and I celebrated on his actual day. He was SUPER busy, as usual, with school stuff and didn't even get home until 7:30 on Friday (the 12th). We were starving by that point so we ate at Red Lobster (Tyler's choice) and then came back for presents. I got him a few things: jeans, shoes (we ended up returning them), and a couple other small things. Then, he opened the last present, which just happened to be the Kindle. Tyler couldn't stop talking about the Kindle a few months ago and I thought it would be cool to surprise him and get it for him... Well, Kindle's are expensive ($189 to be exact), so I pulled all my old textbooks out to see if Amazon would give me any credit for them. Sure enough, Amazon wanted my books (shocking since they're all the OLDEST edition). I was able to get a lot of Amazon credit and get my wonderful husband a fabulous present. He loved it! He still can't put it down. He's waiting for his case to get here (should get here tomorrow), and then he said he'll take it to school with him... just what he needs :) The next day I had a test (the Praxis) for elementary education, but when I got home we went out and did a little shopping together. Sunday, we had Michelle & Trevor and Tiersha & Josh over for dessert which is always a good time. Then Monday (I know, a lot of celebrations) we went out to dinner with Tyler's dad, Paul and his brother Tanner and his girlfriend Ali. Since it was both Tanner and Tyler's birthday in the past 2 weeks we had the waitresses sing to them. It was a fun weekend and I'm so glad my handsome husband is a quarter of a century (he's so old!). We're glad we were able to see so many family members and spend time with them and friends as well.

Halloween Cruise

Tyler and I are not big Halloween people AT ALL. (I don't even bother taking work off because I don't like celebrating) We don't enjoy dressing up or going to Halloween parties...our kind of fun on Halloween consists of playing games and eating, just like an ordinary game night. However, we heard about this Provo Halloween Cruise ride through "groupon," and we went last night. It was a lot of fun, and really cute. First you meet down by the ropes course off of the Provo river. Then they have men dressed up in Pirates and they entertain you while you ride down the river in a big boat. They have hundreds of carved pumpkins along the river, and Halloween lights, and it's just a really fun thing. It lasted about 20-30 minutes, which was perfect timing. If you get the chance to go you definitely should. We got the tickets half off, but I think they're only $6 or $7 per person anyway. Here's some pictures from our night (we went with Tyler's mom and husband, Shawn, and Michelle and Trevor)

The Group (our nickname was the "Heebie Creepies")





The pirates who entertained us

The scared boys, well... at least Trevor was scared
