What a busy week.  It was Thanksgiving with my family this year and boy was it BUSY! It started with my dad and Carma moving into their new home.  It is so nice and I am glad we have a place to call home. My family got here Wednesday night and the cooking began. We made salads, cheese balls, pies, deviled eggs and chatted.  It is always fun to be around family and food.  

Thursday the fun began.  We ate, laughed, played ROCK BAND (which is a great way to bring family together), basketball for the boys and talked.  

Friday, July, me and my dad got up early and went to Idaho Falls to do some shopping!! Lame, I will never do that again.  Everyone helped my dad finish cleaning the garage and then we went to dinner.  July, Cory, and Cayman left after dinner and the rest of us went to see 4 Christmas's.  It was so funny.  I don't think Paul quit laughing. 

 Saturday Alli and Paul left and we could finally we put up our Christmas Tree.  Phil has been asking for over a week and we finally did. It is always fun to pull out the decorations for the tree because my mom made them for my families tree and now I have them for my tree.  Phil also has an ornament from his Grandma so our tree is very special to us.  I love the christmas season and can't wait to spend the holidays with family.

I wish I knew how to download pictures to the mac book but for now just picture our tree with 

Looks like Linsey tagged me here it goes:

7 Quirks

1. Before I can fall asleep at night all the closet doors have to be closed in our bedroom and everything picked up off the floor.  Phil will open the closet door just to see if I will get up and close it.  Of course I will! Also, Seinfeld has to be on the TV with the sleep timer set for 1 hour to shut the TV off. 

2. I love to SNOOZE!! I will set my alarm 30 to 40 minutes before I have to get up.  My alarm goes off every 9 minutes!

3. I DVR a lot of shows and like to fast forward through the parts that don't interest me.  Phil always ask "Are you going to watch it normal or fast forward through it." It drives him crazy.

4. I like to be really warm when I sleep.  I sleep with a heating pad, flannel blanket, top sheet, comforter and a feather blanket all year round.  

5. I bite my nails.  I have tried to determine if it is nerves or what but I think I just get bored.

6. I love SALT!! I put it on everything.  I know I shouldn't but I do.

7. I change my scentsy candle almost every day.  I pour the old wax into a glass cup and have ruined 3 glasses.  What else am I suppose to do with the wax.  

Now that you know how weird I am, I tag anyone who is brave enough to expose the weird things about YOU!!

 P.S. Did you notice how many of my quirks had to do with SLEEPING!!

Tag I'm it!

I am stealing this picture from a friends post but I just wanted to to remember what a historic night!

Fall has come and gone and I am afraid that Winter is right around the corner.  I love the snow, but why does it have to be so COLD!! I am looking forward to this winter because Phil and I bought season passes to TARGHEE!! I hope I remember how to ski from last season and that Phil will be patient with me.  He is the best SKI teacher.

We have had a couple of changes in our family.  I have transferred to the Rexburg Westmark as a loan officer.  I am so excited to be closer to Phil but will miss my co workers.  I always thought of them as my family away from home and will miss them.  

The other change is that we sold the VOLVO!! I loved that car.  We decided where I was going to be working in Rexburg why not eliminate a payment.  BYE BYE CAR!

I celebrated my 28Th b-day and wow, I am closer to 30!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and am looking forward to spending it with my family.
