Halloween Activities

So Jared and I have been making our weekly dates very messy and exciting. We decided a few weeks back to make some scary gingerbread haunted houses from these cute walmart kits that were only $10!!! They came with everything and were so much fun. And this past week we decided to carve some sweet pumpkins. We decided to be creative and try some cool pictures to carve. They took a long time but turned out so good. Our doorstep is now complete with pumpkins for the week!

We are excited for the weekend to come I was able to ask for Saturday off and we are headed down to visit some family in Boise to celebrate Halloween with family who have kids since we don't. It will be fun to see Halloween through their eyes since we can't pass off as 13 and go trick-or-treating ourselves, we would if we could. ;) We are pretty excited to get out and away and to see family again.

I finally remembered to bring my camara to one of Jared's games, and good thing I did because it may have been his last game. He came out with an extremely hurt shoulder. They thought he had broken his Clavical but fortunately after an X-ray it wasn't broken. He was pretty bummed he got hurt but he is resting so he can jump right back in there. He is #35 and plays Fullback.

Awwww isn't he cute in a sling? We went to the Haunted Mill this night and I couldn't hold onto him very well because of his sling, haha it was funny. And then on Sunday I got sick with the (what we believe was) the Swine Flu, so in our household we had a couple of wimps who couldn't really help each other out. It was quite comical... All is well now and we are living and loving life, school and the new job. Jared is approaching midterms next week, can you believe the semseter is already half over? WHERE DOES TIME GO???

HAHA

I thought this was a funny comic that my sister in law had found...so I thought I would share

I got a JOB!

I got a job at Samuels Jewelers! I had my first day on Friday and it was a crazy day! I will be a Sales Consultant and that is something that I will need to work at being because I have never sold anything before in my life.Maybe my plasma to the plasma center but thats it. But I also had work on Saturday and I felt much more confident and made my first sell!!! I am pretty excited about this job and am so grateful that I was blessed with a job after searching for awhile.

Salsa Surprise in the Eyes!

HAHA! Ok so the funniest thing happened this evening, I made a potato and egg dish for dinner and Jared adn I sat down to eat it together. I had just poured the salsa onto my eggs and put the cap back on ( didn't screw it back on) just placed the cap on top. Jared tookt he bottle and shook it once to make sure the cap was on and the cap didn't come off so he figured it was and so then he shook the bottle really hard twice in a row and the cap flies off and salsa goes everywhere!!!! HAHA I went to pour him some orange juice and i was thinking in my head something very wet is landing on my face and clothes whta the heck? I open my eyes to a beautiful arrangment of salsa on the walls the floor the table my clothes Jareds clothes and all over our faces. Jared got it in his eye and we happened to buty Medium spice so it burned a little. We stopped and look at each other and then fell over laughing!!!! It was hilarious! Even writing it now I keep laughing. here are a few pictures, they don't do it justice of couse... HAHA Oh I love you Jared!!!

Life is fun!

We had a wonderful vacation and time to relax with family and friends and then it was back to reality and job hunting. Jared has started his junior year in college and loves his classes.

Lately Jared has had some really bad stomach aches and we have been in and out of the E.R. and doctor offices weekly to try to figure out what is going on. He has been up all night several days in a row each week with pain. He took some medicene today to try to fix things and it has really knocked him out. Here he is in bed, he thought it was very cold in our apartment he has two blankets on him, he is wearing fleece pants and a sweatshirt and I am in shorts and a t-shirt... my poor baby I hope this sickness will pass and I can get my husband back to the healthy side of life.
I thought he looked so cute sittin gin bed all bundled I couldn't resist a picture and sneak a quick kiss from him. So handsome and cute even when he is sick!
Jared and I wanted to do a bonfire with friends, so this week we made that happen with 3 other couples who we are great friends with. We went to the sanddunes in Rexburg and burned some crates and had a blast! We roasted hot dogs, smores, marshmellows, star bursts and did a new treat we had never heard of Banana boats which were so delicious! If you want the recipe you can just look up campfire treats and you will be sure to find it. In the picture below the fire was really big and super hot and Jared and his buddy Taylor decided who could roast another kind of weenie longer( ;) )... HAHAHAHA it was funny to watch!

And here he is again standing on the fire after we put a crate on, the little daredevil I'm surprised his shoes didn't melt off.

There was a few other groups there while we were there, one group was full of freshman (maybe highschool) girls and Taylor, Jared and another couple in our ward Evan and Tiffany decided to crawl like spiders on the sand hills and sneak up on them. It was a hoot to watch, they said once they got close enough to hear the girls they were talking about their future husbands and the qualities they wanted in them... te-he I remember doing that. They let out a good scream once our group came at them hollering... it was a fun night!

I have been on the hunt for a job for the past month, been doing interview after interview and the whole job hunting thing is very hard and very stressful. I know the Lord is mindful of us and he loves us and knows our situation and will present us with an opportunity soon. I just need to continue to do my part and search search search!!!

Jared and I will be coming up on 9 months of marriage in a few days and I was thinking "Where the heck has time gone?" It sure does fly by when you marry your best friend and everyday is full of fun and laughter. I feel so lucky to have been blessed with a wonderful man. He truly is my best friend and true love. We are happier then ever and love being in love and enjoy so much being married to each other. The best part is life will only get better!!!
