Thanksgiving

Okay so I am really bad at posting. Sorry if anyone reads this or actually cares :). So it has been extra crazy lately. I got a job working at the hospital and I have been busy trying to craft things for our tree and doing all that cooking for Thanksgiving was pretty hectic. It was also amazingly fun! M sister and a few friends came over, we played scatergories, and we made enough food to feed a small army (meanwhile there were only 6 of us). 

The menu was turkey, ham, green bean casserole, apple + cranberry stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, delicious grave, and 3 homemade pies. I love baking so I made a dutch apple, pumpkin cheesecake, and a regular pumpkin pie. They were so delicious! 

I also got a new iphone 6, so that means my picture quality gets better! yay! I hope everyone had as great of a holiday as I did! Now onto the Christmas decorating!

One LOOOOONG Weeked

This weekend was filled with tons of driving! Around 1700 miles actually. I have been having separation anxiety from all of my stuff that has been stored at my moms in California so we went to pick it up. We left on Thursday around 4pm and arrived at 12am (CA is an hour behind us right now because we don't have time change in AZ). My sister Tiffany went with us and it was a really fun trip. We hung out with my moms foster kids and the baby just loves Lewis. It is the cutest thing ever and makes me want children so badly!!

We also decided to visit my grandma while we were there. It was the first time she got to meet Lewis and she loved him. I wish the trip lasted longer but we had to be back to real life. On Sunday before we came home we had the best champagne brunch (Lewis and I couldn't drink because we took turns driving). When we finally arrived back home on Sunday night we were so exhausted and thankful to be home. Speaking of Thankful I can't believe we are a week away from Thanksgiving!! Where the hell has this year gone??? I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas though! I already have my Thanksgiving planned out, we are goingto have a few friends over! It will be great!

Skylar is just the cutest little baby out there!

Happy Halloween!

Well this past weekend was quite eventful! Starting on Thursday we carved pumpkins! That was a lot of fun. My sister and Stephanie came over and we all had a blast scooping out pumpkin guts and creating our designs. Mine was Oogie-Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. We ended up having 3 pumpkins from that movie. The only person who didn't make a very festive pumpkin was Lewis... unless a 4th of July stars and stripes pumpkin is festive for October. I love him anyways though.

We had a Halloween party to go to on Friday which was a lot of fun, we left a little early and decided to go downtown after the party. We met up with my sister and some other friends. So the downtown thing started out fun, drinking 2 for ones and dancing a little bit. We then proceeded to get some pita pit because my sister forgot to eat dinner. She ended up not actually eating but it seemed to go
downhill from that point. Mind you it was probably only around 10:30 maybe 11 at this point. We decided to go to another bar, it took a little long to get inside and by the time we got inside I was getting annoyed. I felt old!!! My feet hurt (I was wearing boots, no heels just regular comfy boots) my back hurt and it was crowded as fuck. There was no sitting or standing room. I think we left downtown around 15 minutes later. It was a fun night but I was tired and ready to get home.

Then on Sunday it was time for our party. We spent all day decorating and baking goodies. I made caramel apples, cupcakes, and cookies. We made some Nightmare Lemonade (Lewis' concoction of beer lemonade concentrate and vodka...super deadly). We had a great time at the party. Around 20 or so people showed up and played beer pong and just hung out. For that night we dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Smith. We wore all white and dirtied ourselves up. It was a cute costume. The night before though we dressed as Johnny Cash and June Carter. I don't think I have pictures of that but it was cute. All in all we had an amazing time! Sunday was filled with laying in bed and periodically cleaning up. It was pure bliss!
