Trip to Washington

This last weekend Brian and I took a spontaneous road trip to Yakama, Washington to pick up Brian's mom. Brian's Dad had to head to California to get a load and Brian's Mom wanted to get back to Burley in time to get ready for thanksgiving. So we hit the road Saturday and got up there in the evening. We all went out to eat at the Olive Garden and stayed the night in a hotel. We went to church Sunday morning then headed back to Idaho after getting some breakfast. It was a nice, little getaway and the drive was very pretty with snow in some areas.

Fun with friends!

The weekend of Nov. 13th our friends Joy and Scott came up to Nampa and stayed at our house. Scott's brother plays for the Declo football team. Saturday we watched the football game and luckily Declo won. Joy and I froze our bums off during the game.

That night we ate some good food at Texas Roadhouse, then came back to our house and attempted to make carmel popcorn which didn't turn out very well...both times we tried. But we did make some pretty delicious no bake cookies...so there is still hope for us.

Brian and Scott thought it would be funny if us two girls got up on the ledge of our plant shelf. It didn't look very high just looking up at it...but once we got up there it was a whole other story and actually a little scary. Haha...just ask Joy, she totally freaked out when she was trying to get down.

Halloween

Friday night Brian and I dressed up for a costume party that our friends Danae and Tyler were throwing! I dressed up as a regal princess and Brian was a knight. It made for a good time...and hey...who says we are too old to be dressing up :)


Saturday night we had lots of trick or treaters. I enjoyed seeing all the creative costumes being worn throughout the night.

Concert!

The last week of October, Brian had called into the radio station WOW 104.3 and won concert tickets to see Darius Rucker. Brian was sooo excited he had won and I was excited to spend the evening with him listening to some good music!

My favorite scripture...

And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock uopn which ye are build, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Helaman 5:12

Brian and I are so blessed to have purchased this home in Nampa. From the moment I saw this house I absolutely loved it! It is 3 bedroom and 2 bath. It is also in a great nieghborhood with friendly people and an amazing church. We moved into our home October 16th with the help of brians mom, brother Jeff, nephew Ethan, and my aunt Becky and uncle Doug. We moved everything in 6 loaded vehicles. We were all moved in and unpacked within 24 hours thanks to the help of family. I never realized how much "stuff" we had until I started packing it into boxes. Moving is definately something I would only do a select few times in my life...its stressful. But definately very worth it! We had been living in a 1 bedroom apartment together the last year and a half and it was about time to get our very own place we could call home.
