NOVemBER

November has come and gone, but not without us having some fun! The first big advent was ERIC CHURCH and Moore concert. It is up there as one of the best concerts I have been to! Kip Moore, Justing Moore, and Eric Church all sure know how to put on a great show! 

Here are some of us girls, and Casey, there was 10 couples in our group. We took up an entire row! Reggie and Tanya made our shirts "Sinners like me go to Church" We were the funnest crowd there hands down! Possibly the best looking bunch too :) 

 Thats my date :) Aren't I the luckiest! 



This is my favorite date of the month! We went to dinner and a nickel arcade with two other couples. Some of Seth's friends were in SLC so we drove down to meet up with them. I wont lie, I was a little skeptical of this nickel arcade, but turns out we had SO MUCH FUN we didnt want to leave!!! It kinda reminded me of gambling a little, we just couldn't stop putting our nickels in and going and cashing more dollars in! However, it was cheaper than a movie, we only spent $15 dollars for both of us to have HOURS of fun!! 

Then there was thanksgiving! This is my families "on" year, so I am tried to get Seth on our schedule asap. Jan set up this cute little photo booth, and KJ took photos of all the families that came this year. It was a lot of work and I only got to be part of it for two days. Working retail will get ya, that darn black friday shopping. 

The boys got to play Newsies and did a cute little number and handed out our family newspaper. Cutest kids around! 

I am thankful for this time of year, to be reminded and to acknowledge what I am thankful for and how blessed I truly am. I am thankful for my family and Seth they all do SOOO much for me. I am thankful that I can be in school, and that I have a great job! I am thankful for all the memories I have, and all the ones I get to continue to make!

Highlights

Well apparently I am no longer a good blogger. I start school and all shit hits the fan. So today my goal should be projects or homework or something actually productive but instead.... I am going to share the highlights of my life for the past few months. :)

Highlight number 1- SUGARLAND concert!!! Woot woot! We can cross that off my bucket list! yes! Not only was it a great concert, it was a fun sister sister night. It totally rained the whole time! We thought the concert was going to get canceled. Kicker is, they wouldn't let anyone take in umbrellas!  So we pretty much just sat in the rain huddled until the concert started. We totally made the most of it and we totally got soaked! BUT, we loved well, I loved every minuet of it. KJ just put up with it to be nice to me. All in all I loved it, I am so glad I got to go. Thanks Sissy for being my date!! 



Highlight number 2: I got my concealed weapons permit!! Another big check off the list! I always try to do something for me around my birthday every year, some times it more note worthy like donating my hair, other years it is going sky diving and this year it was my concealed weapons class! It was soo  awesome and super informative. I think in my future I want to take some self defense classes now too! 


Highlight number 3: JENNIES WEDDING! It was classy every bit as Jennie! She was such a awesome roommate to me in cedar and I cant express how much I love and look up to this girl! Laura, Kamera and I made the trip from Logan! We stopped to pick up Anna in St George and found ourselves at Jennies spectacular reception. Everything about it was perfect! She was drop dead gorgeous but who would expect anything less than that! Love her to pieces, so glad she got her happily ever after! 

added fun at the wedding was this awesome photo booth! we enjoyed it obviously :) 


Highlight number 4: General Conference- we totally lucked out saturday afternoon and got four tickets to sunday afternoons session. A girl at my work had some she offered me I have not been since like my sophomore year in high school (like nine years, yikes!) and Josephine and Laura are both converts so this was both their first time! We enjoyed every minuet of it!!! A wonderful experience that everyone should get the opportunity to go to! 





Highlight number 5: The Cattle Drive! Nothing better than family time on the mountain!!! We had a great time. I believe we were successful and according to Jeremy the lesson we learned this year is "all we need is family" Of course this year did not fail us of stories and a little bit of drama but we have learned another lesson and have moved on. The weather could not have been more perfect!!! And the boys! the boys did great! Trey was the best cowboy this trip, he took more than his turn ridding the pony, pretty much the WHOLE time. We had lots of fun! Wish I was home to spend more time with this family and horses I love soo much! 




Highlight number 6: Seth came to visit! It was a pretty fun weekend, could have been lots more fun, but I am the one who always seems to get sick. Blah.. But of course Seth took great care of me like he always seems to have to. But the bonus to having a great weekend with movies, and a drive up the canyon and of course snuggling is that we look great together! :) Thanks for ALWAYS taking care of me Seth and always willing to have a fun time!
