Update

So for everyone that has been hounding me about updating my blog this is for you! (And you know who you are!) Ryan & I are no longer living at Cade and Lindsay's. We are renting a house in St. Anthony until we decide to buy a house. We are just kinda waiting the winter out to see what happens with this crappy economy and to make sure that we still have jobs throughout the winter. The house we are renting is a huge, old house and we have really liked it. It was really fun to decorate for Christmas because it has a fireplace mantle and a bay window to put the tree in front of. We had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas and spent it between all of the families. We had a big Christmas Eve party at our house and it was a really good time having all of our family together from both sides. Last year for our first Christmas together Ryan and I decided instead of buying a bunch of gifts for eachother we would just buy one larger item we wanted together for Christmas each year. This year we bought a Lazy Boy recliner and a coffee table. I can't hardly keep Ryan out of it. I don't get much time in it because he seems to think it's his. (I'm actually the one that went and picked it out and brought it home.) And a huge thanks to Cade for breaking it in for me. I can still smell you! Other than just working and finishing one semester and getting ready to start another one we haven't been doing a lot. Oh yeah I did transfer to the St. Anthony branch of East Idaho Credit Union as the Lead Teller. So that is something new. Anyway I have some pictures from various things over the last few months so I thought I would do an update for the last few months.


September

In September we went to Utah for my step sister Brittni's wedding. We spent a day down there with the family at the temple in the afternoon and at their reception that night. The next day they had a reception here in Idaho so my other step sister Chelsea, her husband Dave, and their adorable little girl Brooklynn came and stayed with us. It was a lot of fun. All of the sisters were bridesmaids, including Devin's 3 sisters.








All the sister's minus the BRIDE The BRIDE & GROOM Some of the fam at the Temple




October-Halloween






I went to a couple of different Halloween parties. However, Ryan only went to one. The first one he ditched out on and my sister-in-law Lindsay and I went as eachother's date. She even wore Ryan's costume and won funniest costume. Ryan and I went to another one together at our friends' Brady and Katie's. It was really fun. We had a pumpkin carving contest and watched a scary movie. And...Brady and Katie are having a baby! Congratulations to them! We found that out on Halloween with their baby jackolantern. I was the NAUGHTY Nurse and Ryan was the moaning, complaining patient with a cute bare butt!





This is Ryan's jackolantern. At first I thought it was a guy pointing a gun but apparently its a zombie with his arms outstreched.










November




November was a supper fun month for us! Each year we take a couple days off work and spend the weekend in Salmon fishing. Last year we went with our friends Brady and Katie and they went with us again, along with Ryan's friend Tyler. We had a really fun time! They guys went fishing early each morning and Katie and I slept in, had breakfast, did a little shopping(I know... shopping in Salmon doesn't sound like fun but they have a store that had some really cute stuff) and we just basically did what ever we wanted. We even found a couple of little craft fairs that we went to. The guys spent the whole day on the river floating and fishing, and us girls' only assignment was to drive the pickup with the boat trailer to the spot downriver where they guys would get out at the end of the day. On the last day we drove up the canyon along the river just to see the sights. It was so pretty. We saw TONS of deer, some mountain sheep and rams, indian hyroglyphics, and lots of pretty mountains. We even stopped at a creek and Tyler and Ryan found something they think is gold flecks in the creek. It was such a great, relaxing trip!





I don't have any fun pictures to post for December. I didn't actually even take any at Christmas!
