Pictures

Ok so photo shoots are not as fun when you don't have kids, but I did like some of these pictures and had to share...

Christmas Decorations

For my birthday, my mom bought me a bunch of way cute Christmas ornaments and I was so excited to put them all on my tree, and put up all my other fun decorations. I decided to go with the bright green and red colors for my decorations, and it turned out super cute! (Of course, none of the pictures really do this justice...)

Since I don't have a mantle anymore, this is in our window:

Matt was sad we don't have a Pepsi wreath anymore, but I love how this one turned out:

The tree!

Matt had to have some input on the tree, and since my tree topper was too big, this was it:




21 DAYS!

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK TOMORROW!

Winter Crafting

For my birthday, Lance and Kendra gave me a gift card to the Wood Connection and Kamie and Tim gave me a gift card to Hobby Lobby... Obviously, I love to craft! I decided to finally get myself something for Thanksgiving, although I didn't make it until Thanksgiving was over... But oh well. As you can see here, this was the end product.



I also bought some cute trees to add to my Christmas decorations (my mom bought me Christmas ornaments for my birthday too, I'm so spoiled... You will see those soon, once we get our tree decorated).


And finally I needed to make my own version of my totally favorite quote to go in my kitchen. Since the quote reminds me of sweet treats, I had to go with the black and pink, although Kamie and Jenny wanted theirs to match their kitchens. The tan and red one is Kamie's and the black and red one is Jenny's. They are not completely finished, but close! I can't wait to finish and put mine up!

We've Moved!

Yay! We are officially out of our one-bedroom apartment and into a bigger apartment! Yay! Pictures will be coming soon, I can't bring myself to put pictures on the blog of an apartment that still has boxes sitting around.

The Teacher Credo

I would make one amendment...
"I will not yell in class EVERY DAY."

Life After 11 PM

So, Matt and I are pretty boring, I'll be honest. We haven't been out with friends in forever, and rarely are up past 10 or 10:30. So after I got done babysitting on Saturday, Matt and I got together with Tim, and Tom and Lindsay to do some bowling. It is a true testament to Tom and Lindsay as friends that they came down and hung out with us when we called them at 9:30 at night and wanted to meet up at 10:30, when they live in Roy. When we got there, the guy said we wouldn't be able to use our coupon we have, so after being indecisive for a little while, Tom, Lindsay, and Matt and I went back inside and bowled. Wow, I forgot what life was like late at night. We sat near a very interesting crowd to say the least.
After we played two traditional games, Tom made up a new game. In this version of bowling, you try to score the LOWEST. Now you are probably thinking, "Gutter ball every time." In this game, a gutter ball is worth 10 points. Not so easy now, is it! Wow we had so much fun. People thought we were crazy when we were all stoked to hit one pin, and mad when we got a strike. The picture below shows the final scores for everyone (I am number 1, Matt is 2, Linds is 3, and Tom is 4). Take the final score, and add ten for each gutter ball, and you have Matt as the winner! Crazy fun.
Thank you Tom and Lindsay for a very fun night out!
