You've Been Spooked

Our neighborhood has a tradition for Halloween -as I am sure most of your neighborhoods do. They doorbell ditch 2 families with some treats and an orange sign with a ghost on it and instructions. So, when you receive a treat with the orange sings you are supposed to copy the flier and make treats for 2 families that do NOT have the orange ghost posted in their window and doorbell ditch them. (Confused yet?)

A few nights ago Scott and I were getting settled in for the night and I went to turn off our yard lights. Well, as I approached my front door I heard what sounded like someone skateboarding in our driveway. Totally bizarre considering it was getting late and our neighborhood is mostly small kids. So I decided to peek outside and see what was going on. Our front door has a big window that we hate and we hung up some small curtains. So I swung the curtains aside and shoved my face against the glass to see who was skate boarding in my driveway. When I focused my eyes, I saw this mans face right in front of mine!

I was scared to death- to say the least and jumped back. I then realized it was my neighbor from across the street trying to doorbell ditch us some treats. So I swung the door open and both of us were just laughing and telling each other how badly we were scared. He was upset that I saw him dropping off the treats because it was supposed to be a secret but I took the delicious rice krispy treats anyway and told him not to worry about it.

The catch to this story: After my nice neighbor left and I was trying to tell my husband what happened in between all of my giggling... I realized that I just answered the door in my pajamas. With no bra on. Fabulous.

Contact me if you have any questions and please come by! I will post the address and time as soon as I know! Hope to see you there!

I believe I have a problem...

I think I have an addiction... actually, I KNOW I have one. I am obsessed with Disneyland. Totally random, I know. But we have been 3 or 4 times this year alone. And all because of a youtube video I was shown on Thursday. Scott and I packed up and went to Disneyland on Saturday and came right back on Sunday- DRIVING. It was totally worth it tho. Check out the video on youtube: Disneyland- Halloween Fireworks- XTREME HD- Halloween Screams Fireworks 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlb_iPg1g7Q Totally amazing. And it was definitely worth the drive for that alone. But October is definitely the time to go to Disneyland. The decorations are awesome, the rides are awesome and the weather is great. (We are going to go in December as well and see how the Christmas decor is!) We had a good time to say the least.

All of our halloween decorations are from Disneyland. We have been 2 years in a row and it is pretty fun! Obviously- I am a fan of Jack Skellington.

Go Utes!

A couple weeks ago Scott and I went to the University of Utah football home game. We are big Ute fans. Especially my man. He works for the University AND he is currently in his Masters program there as well. So pretty fun.

Cool stunts from the marching band. This photo was taken upside down because we were on the other side of the stadium. I just flipped it for you so you could read!

This was the amazing sunset. I couldn't believe how vibrant it was. Nerdy I know. But it WAS beautiful.

The game wasn't super exciting to watch, but it was fun and I loved spending time with my honey. Scott's goal is to go to every home game this season. With all of his classes, we'll see how that goes. Go Utes!

Cute...

In a previous blog I posted a photo of my handsome man with a few of his friends- and they are all wearing matching t-shirts. They totally crack me up. Well...in my husbands words: *NERD ALERT* the NEW halo game came out this week and my husband and his friend Eric took a day off work to play! These are their NEW shirts for the occasion:

Gotta love it.

One Year

I can't believe that my man and I have been married for one year all ready! It feels like we were married just a couple months ago. September is the month of the big day and we decided to celebrate all weekend!

Friday Night: Our favorite author was in Salt Lake for a book reading and signing. Terry Brooks (author of the Shannara series) is so funny and clever and just a great author. If you haven't tried his books- you definitely should. It was awesome and so so fun to hear him read a section of his new book coming out next year! And it was great to meet him and get my favorite book of his signed.

Us with Terry Brooks!

Saturday was our actual anniversary. We went out to eat at Tucano's in Provo. That is where we met 4 years ago! Love it. We then stayed at a bed and breakfast called Somewhere Inn Time.

We stayed in the coolest room called "Sleepy Hollow". (MUCH better than the free room we stayed in the night we were married. Ha ha) It had a huge jacuzzi tub that overlooked the back yard and gazebo. It also had a huge TV and couch so we enjoyed watching The Dark Knight and eating a delicious cake I surprised Scott with.

Awesome Room

Fabulous Gifts we surprised each other with. Scott got a car cover for his Mustang and I got a wedding print for our home

Amazing Jacuzzi Tub
Yummy Cake

I had a fabulous weekend with my hubby. I love you so much Scott and can't wait for our next years of marriage. You are the absolute best husband I could ever ask for! Happy One Year Anniversary!!
