Gobble Gobble

This weekend was really fun. It was really relaxing. I probably should have done some studying or something but did that happen? Nope. It was just nice to spend time with family since I don't get to do that very often. I somehow managed to get the day off on turkey day. How I managed that I have no clue. I didn't even get called in. Phew! So, I woke up and said that it was going to be a great day. We cleaned the house up really well and then it was time to go eat. So I got all prettied up and went over to Toby's house to eat some Turkey. It was really really good stuff. Although, there was just not enough potatoes. I don't think there ever is. I LOVE potatos. After dinner, we all rested for a while and then it was time for a game. A game of Settlers. I have not played that game in a while. Turns out, I didn't win. But I got really close. Jaden beat me. By one point. It is fun when you are the one about to win instead of the one watching a person win.

While playing the game, there was some yummy yummy pies going into my stomach. My favorite one was the bannana pie. Love bannana pie! Tori, Tessa, and I planned to go take pictures this day and it seemed that we were not going to be able to. It gets really dark fast now. I don't like that. But, even though it was dark outside, we went to go take pictures. So, here are a few pictures we took.














Okay so that was a lot of picture and we still have some more. I have become a big fan of Picasa. Free photo editor. Not the best but I like it. There is a really cool one of Tori and her cello but I can't seem to get it to come up :( Oh well. Hope you enjoyed the many pictures of the fabulous turkey day. There are other pictures I will post up because I remembered that we did something fun Thursday morning but it is time for me to go to bed. :)

Halloween

Sam and I decided to do something a couple days before halloween because we both had work on halloween night. So, we decided to carve pumpkins. It was pretty fun. I didn't get to do it last year so I had to make up for it. I decided to do a spider web with a spider off to the side. I had a cheeter stencil thing that is why it looks the way it does. Alot better than what would be able to come up with. Sam did a cyote/warewolf. Can't decide what it is. :) He was creative and did his own design showing off his artistic abilities.

Kitchen Plans

Sam and I went on a really fun date. He surprised me with what we were doing. I had no idea what we were going to do til we got to our destination. Our destination was not a place I was thinking of at all in my mind. He drove to Lowes. What in the world were we going to do at Lowes??? I had no idea. He told me previously that I had to be creative and that we were going to go to different stations and we had to pick out some things we liked and that we might actually agree on some things.

So we go to the back of the store and end up in the kitchen areas. We sit down at this table and he pulls out some graph paper and tells me that we are going to design a kitchen. So we did. He drew his layout and then I drew my layout of how we imagine a future kitchen to look like. Then after our layout, we went around and picked out a sink, counter color, cupboards, dishwasher, floors, fridge, and stove. Then after picking out the items in secret, we revieled our plans to eachother. We both like dark cabinents and a cool oven that goes into the wall.

It was so simple yet so fun. No cost at all.
