Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went home to CO. I love to go home, but it makes coming back to school so hard. We had so much fun. To start off the break, we left Tuesday afternoon and drove to Glenwood Springs where we stayed the night. We ate a really good mexican restaurant, and then went to the Hot Springs. It was so relaxing.

It was hard to get a good picture, but you get the idea.

The next morning we continued the drive. Mom, Missy, Anne, Leah, and Sarah were there to greet us when we got there.

After a few hours a chatting, we headed to Twilight! It was just as good the second time. For dinner we went to one of my favorite chinese places. Thursday was the big T-Day. We started the day off with a Turkey Trot with some of the fam, and some of our neighbors.

The plan was to walk to McDonalds, but when we got there, it was closed. Who knew McDonalds ever closed?

Instead of McDonald's, we went to Caribou Coffee.

Missy had Thanksgiving at her house this year, so later that afternoon we headed over. They made a wonderful turkey, and we had way too much to eat.

Friday night, Dave Carrie, and Brig spent the night so it was fun to hang out and chat with them. Plus it was even better to see little Brig. He has changed a lot since this summer.

Saturday night, we got together one last time and met at Costa Vida!

The drive home was not nearly as much fun. We left when it was a snow storm, and barely made it through the mountains before they closed that part of I-70.

Once we made it past Vail, the weather was perfect, and the rest of the drive was not too bad. It is so much fun to be home and around family. The holidays are so fun, and I can't wait until christmas when we get to spend time with both of our families!

We LOVE Twilight

I know this post is a little behind, but I couldn't skip putting it up! JD and I were so excited for Twilight to come out, and the week leading up to it couldn't go by fast enough. To help get us in the mood even more, we went to a Twilight party on Thursday night

We loved the movie so much, we went and saw it again on Wednesday when we got to Colorado with my mom! Edward is pretty dreamy, and I hate having to wait for the next one!

I WISH...

I wish I was doing this right now!
Instead, I am stuck at work while Thor sleeps the day away. He knows how to spend an afternoon.

The other day, a bunch of the girls from the soccer team were playing and invited us to play. I have been dying to play, and JD wanted to test out his skills. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed. He even fit the image and wore some of my soccer pants!

I Can't Believe We Did Not Take Any Pictures

This past Friday, JD's parents came down for a visit. It was a lot of fun to have them here. As usual, we ate our way through Cedar and then moved onto St. George. They got here Friday afternoon, and we hung out and enjoyed the company. For dinner we went to get Sushi. JD loves sushi, and I am slowly getting used to it. It actually tasted really good and I ate more than I thought I would. After dinner, we just hung out and chatted. Saturday we woke up and went to our favorite breakfast place, Main Street Grill. After we headed down to St. George to do some Christmas shopping. It was such nice weather. Once we were done shopping, we had to hit up Cafe Rio! It was delicious as always. They left Saturday evening, so it was just a quick trip. It was fun to have them down here and we appreciate all they do for us! We are so mad we didn't get any pictures:(

Halloween Take 2

We finally broke down and decided to have a party of our own. We invited a good number of people to help us celebrate Halloween. JD and I had a lot of fun planning, making the food, and decorating. We had Hawaiian Haystacks, and had funny names for all the different toppings. We also made a foggy witches brew, and caramel apples. Other people also brought some food to share with everyone.

We weren't creative enough to come up with a new costume for this week's party.

He is our neighbor, Robert, who lives downstairs. Thor loves him! I think its because he lets Thor lick his lips. Yummy!
We had a really fun night, and it was worth all the work that went into it.
