Sunday Snowfall

Matt is so excited he is dancing for joy!



See the pretty snow! I just love it all because it is such a novelty! I can just sit and stare at it coming down.



Can you see it coming down in the backround? Too bad it doesn't come in as clearly as I would like it to. It is so beautiful!

Advent Calendar

This is the advent calendar that we recently did at our ward Super Saturday. It took me quite awhile to finish it because I had some creative blocks, but I am pretty happy with the results. It is super easy to make and all you need is scrapbook supplies and a mini muffin tin. You can put candy, a scripture, or a small toy under each number.

Got Gas?

This title may make my brothers snicker, but I am kind of obsessed with the price of gas. I take notice of it daily and treat it like the stock market...but it is safer than buying stock. :)
When was the last time we saw gas prices so low? The most recent price I saw was $1.97! Wow! I am so excited...over the last couple of months gas prices have dropped by more than half. What a refreshing change.

First Snowfall

This is the view from our back patio...quite the snow fall for November!





Matt leaves for work early in the morning and I usually get up to help him get out the door. When I went outside to turn on his car we found all of this amazing snow! I am like a giddy little kid because this is my first experience of living in snow.



Even as I am doing this the snow is still coming down. Winter is here!

Day Light Savings

This morning we got to sleep an extra hour because last night we moved one hour closer to our family and friends in the west. What a nice delight to sleep an extra hour before getting up for church...it was a nice treat. Plus, it made me happy for our modern technology because we forgot to change our clocks before we went to bed and luckily our cell phones made the change without us and all is right with the world!

Halloween Night Scare

So, Matt has learned yet another new thing about his scardy cat wife! It is not my favorite thing to go to haunted houses and we will not be going ever again! I am such a baby and hate anything scary. I try sometimes to watch a scary movie for his sake, but I end up having bad dreams and really dread it. I thought I would just suck it up this year and we would go to this Haunted Forest...ooah creepy! Well, one of the "fun parts" led us into this very dark maze where I felt like I would rather die and I started to panic! We were surrounded by strangers and we couldn't find our way out, plus it was pitch black...until my fabulous husband realized my distress and pulled out his cell phone for some light. So, that wasn't the only part that bothered me, I like my personal space and some of those people who were trying to scare us invaded my space. Anyways, I made it through and am now at peace with my scary night. This was kind of funny, but at the end of our walk through the forest they took us on a hay ride to eventually end at our cars. Kind of random, but also calming for me who just about had a heart attack!
