November so far!

I have been horrible lately! Does anyone ever get to the point where there's so much to blog about that you don't even want to anymore? That's where I'm at right now..but I'm powering through and getting it done :)

I went to Utah a few weeks ago, and it was such a good trip. Way too short, but awesome! I spent all of the time with my wonderful family and cute nieces. We carved pumpkins, went trick-or-treating, played at the park, and ate a lot of good food. It's so crazy to me how fast my nieces grow up. Next time we go to Utah Alexa and Sean will more than likely have their baby girl too! And Spencer and Stephanie Johnson just had a baby boy, who we can't wait to meet either. I love growing families. I can't waitfor another vacation..and for Daniel to get to come with me. It was so weird to be back there and not have him around..I almost felt single and I didn't like it one bit. Dang dental convention! Next time for sure. Just 1 month to go! 

Stencils make life so much easier.

Oh Cafe Rio. Next time please don't have hard nasty rice and dry burritos or else I won't be able to go back..

I had so much fun and am so excited for Christmas break.  We will be going to Utah around the 13th, and then Idaho for Christmas! Thanksgiving will be spent in Oceanside (about an hour and a half away from us) with Bret and Kami and their cute family. Daniel has been studying hard and is doing really well in school..he got A's on all his midterms last week! I'm proud of him for being so disciplined. 

Some exciting things that we are looking forward to:

1. I got tickets to Dancing with the Stars today! I'm going to the live show on Monday and am very excited about it :) Go Derek and Joanna! hahah! Don't judge me..my husband is busy a lot..therefore I watch TV and re-read the twilight books. 

2. Ariel Mehlhoff is coming to see me this coming weekend!! She's one of my best friends and I can't wait to play with her here in sunny California! I'm trying to figure out some fun free stuff for us to do..Hope she doesn't mind sleeping on the couch of our tiny apartment :) I cant wait to have a friend here to play with me!! We're going to try to somehow go to the New Moon premier on the red carpet hahah since it's only like 4 miles away from me. We're dorky but you know you're jealous!

3. Katie is coming!!! It's still a few weeks away but I am so excited. She will be here December 10th and then will drive to Utah with us and spend a few days with my family. I love her to death and she bought her ticket this morning! SO exciting! 

4. Daniel and I have almost been married for 6 months!! Where has the time gone?? Life is so busy and has changed SO much in half a year, but we love it. He's the best husband ever. I feel like the luckiest girl alive. 

Life is wonderful!
