busy busy busy

To say we've been busy is kindof an understatement. To sum up:

Michaels BFF from HS (grade school for that matter) came to visit- we did the usual tour . . . one more alamo pic to add to the collection!! (have I mentioned we LOVE visitors???)

Thanks Ryan Becky and Peyton for coming to stay with us . . . . and hooray for FINALLY getting to meet you!! Not long after I received a call from my costume-co boss. I used to work in the warehouse and they were SWAMPED with work and offered to fly me out to work "as soon as I want, for as long as I want" I couldn't resist the chance to see my fam and the job i miss so much. I worked crazy hours but had a blast. There are many things I've missed about my old job. . . . but I got a fill for just over two weeks! it was awesome!!! We even went to Witch-fest up at Gardner Village- Our personal theme of the year was 'troll witches'. so much fun!!!

**I'm the witch with the blue hair**

While in Utah I was also able to:
spend time with family, eat delicious food (which I didn't have to cook thank you mom and costa vida) see my friends BRAND new baby (which may have made me both very excited and very scared for my own)-



attend a dear friends wedding reception,

and stand for about twenty seconds in the snow!! (notice the beautiful fall leaves in the background . . . miss that)

It was a long time to be gone but me and my sweetie survived. I doubled the luggage I took- suitcases filled with apples, apple juice, 'fat-chick' clothes, and various other baby items (lucky for me, I have four older sisters who have all had babies and are very generous)

this years Halloween pumpkins:

very excited to get some actual trick-or-treaters since we're in a neighborhood now.

Happy Halloween!!
