EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Well Like I mentioned in my previous post, we did a little black friday shopping. One of the stores we went into was White House Black Market. I love this store enough as it is, but I saw this dress and fell in love with it.

Obviously if I ever did get this dress it would be altered with some sleeves..but i still love it:) I know you are thinking...well she won't really have a place to wear this so it doesn't really matter, which is exactly what I thought until I remembered the ARMY has a ball ever so often.

Yes I said it..THE ARMY. Why might you ask would I ever go to an Army Ball? Well let me tell you that Steven is actually joining the US ARMY RESERVE!
yep. It will be all official on Wednesday when he's up in Salt Lake for his physical and enlistment. I know...it definitely is scary don't get me wrong! But we have thought about this long and hard for the past several months about it and feel it is right for our family because it is definitely not for everyone. We find out hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday for sure where Steven will be going to basic training and exactly when he will leave. The soonest he will leave is January 4th! ahh it's coming up so soon! He will be gone for about 4 months :(. But i know it will all be worth it in the end :) Welp that's the Big news!

Other than that...we are just trying to enjoy our last month or so together and with family and friends! I decorated and listened to Christmas music all day yesterday, so fun :) I need to get some new pictures up here i just cant seem to remember or find the time!

Thanksgiving 2010

This year Steven and I went down to Southern California to his parents for Thanksgiving. It was so warm!...well ok warmer than Utah! We had a great time seeing everyone and cant wait to see them again! Our weekend was full of a Mexican Fiesta at the Hokes, then the Big Turkey day and follow with some black friday shopping...which was my first experience ever!...not sure i will go again unless I know what I'm looking for or who I need to buy gifts for..and of course have more money!

Friday when we landed in Salt Lake, It was 19 degrees! soo cold!...Back to work today was difficult...got back into my workout today and then back to school tomorrow! Boy do I love these Holidays where we get to eat alot and spend time with family, it's my favorite time of the year!

Happy Halloween

This year, we didn't get as creative as last year with our costumes. Thursday the 28th we had a Halloween Party at Paul Mitchell that student council threw. My friend Cassie and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2. We were a big hit, if I don't say so myself. haha we had a great time with all the soups the teachers brought caramel apple bar and treats along with awesome games and fortune telling that i will never forget! The next night my friend Katy and I threw a Halloween party at her house. ( our husbands went to Samoa together for their Mission) At this party I dressed up as a pink poodle ( thanks Mom..and mayloni!) and Steven was 'my owner'. He wore a shirt that said " Help me find my poodle princess babes! his number then..I reward with cupcakes! (only because he made yummy cupcakes for the party :) haha then with that he wore a wig. We had a good time. played some messy games involving gooey yuckiness in a box and alkaselzer. Here are a few pics from the great time we had that night!
