Thanksgiving
One of these days, I'm going to be super creative and make things such as this super cute Thanksgiving board. If your interested in making it, its found at Jellybean Junkyard.
I hope everyone is going to have a fantastic weekend and only 6 more days until TURKEY DAY! I'm so excited. Brett and I are going down to my grandparents house in Nampa, Idaho with 2 of my sisters.
Two of my aunt and uncles and their kids should be there too. It should be a blast. :)

November
Brett and I have done quite a bit in the last few weeks. I'm not going to attempt to put anything in order so I'm sorry. I just am going to write things down on what comes to mind.
Brett and I were MarioKart for Halloween. Brett was Donkey-kong and I was Princess Peach. The best part about it was just making the costumes. We found these cardboard boxes (our Karts) from Walmart for FREE! We got to color pretty much everything on our boxes. Brett was great at Spray painting our boxes. It was so fun and we got quite a few responses. Except everyone knew exactly who Brett was then they would turn to me and guess cotton candy?? Um... when was cottoncandy ever in MarioKart??? I don't understand it... Brett thought it was pretty hilarious though.
Growing up I never had trick-a-treaters before so this was SOO much fun for me. We had tons of cute little witches and princesses and ninjas and darth vaders. I loved it! Brett was so sweet to me and let me hand out majority of the candy. Our ward also did a truck-a-treat. We were freezing. These poor little munchkins had no idea what it is like to have a halloween without wearing super large snowjackets over their costumes.
Brett and I celebrated our 2 month anniversary on November 2nd! We decided to go to eat at Wingers which they messed up on our order so we got a lot of extra food. Then we walked over to FatCats and played some skiball. It was a ton of fun and we won a bouncy ball and a temporary tattoo.
I still can't believe its been 2 months! Not to get me wrong, we have had A LOT that has happened within these two months, We started school, we had to deal with 3 police visits from our obnoxious neighbors, Brett got tonsillitis and I got a really bad cold, we went to the Haunted Mill (scariest thing of my life), tried to change my name on my social security card and found out that the Marriage License we have isn't even valid. Thank you, Oregon. Bah! I got accepted onto FastGrad so I can graduate in JULY!!!! Woot! Soooo excited! [But did I mention that BYU-Idaho does not accept Psychology students onto fastgrad anymore because of not enough teachers and classrooms and too many students]. So, I had to go through a major long process and it took me 3 different visits and running around all over campus to fight for my case.
As I'm sure you guys know, I'm in a Bakery class and I'm learned a lot about food. haha. This is my pie! I made Sour Cream Peach Pie. Brett looved it! He says its his new favorite (which is great because it was easy to make).
It snowed in Rexburg. It was crazy. Brett and I walked into walmart for just about an hour, once we checked out and were walking to our car it was a blizzard. We have to admit, it was kind of fun driving through the ice and the snow. Of course, its been snowing on and off for a while now. The first time it snowed, we got so excited that we went out and took pictures. We sang Christmas Carols in the car (I know its not after Thanksgiving yet but hey.. I love Christmas songs), and we made some great looking snow angels.
Last night, my ward had a Thanksgiving dinner. We were in charge of making Mashed potatoes. It was my first time and they turned out great! This ward activity was the largest thing I've ever seen in my life. It looked like a giant stake activity. There was about 8 tables deep and 8 tables wide and the tables were all back to back. There was tons of food and Brett and I got to sit next to our new friends Brother and Sister Dexter and their family. They were a ton of fun and Brett and Brother Dexter talked up a storm about England (Thats where they both served their missions). It was a ton of fun and I'm excited to get to know our ward a lot more. :)
Afterwards, Brett and I headed over to our friends Peter and Jill's house and talked, drank some hot chocolate and hot cider. The boys ended up playing some zombie game. Brett had me play for a little bit and I'm surprised that they understood it so well. It was pretty hilarious though hearing Brett trying to teach me and tell me "NO NO, Not that button the other button!!!" Haha.. I guess you can say I didn't get it. haha.
Have a great day!

Pumpkins, cyclopes, and cookies!
For FHE, Brett and I went and bought pumpkins from Walmart! Sorry we got the best ones! We also found the coolest gadget ever! Its a pumpkin scooper that attaches to your power drill. It worked wonders!!! Here are some pictures of our entertaining night. I seriously got done with my pumpkin in like 15 mins. It was awesome!!! I highly recommend this if you do not enjoy scooping out all the pumpkin guts and just getting straight to the chase of creating some awesome looking jack-a-lanterns!

Snowing in October...
Yep. I am definitely back in Rexburg when it snows the first week in October. Yesterday, it started coming down by the bucket loads!!! Brett got so worried he went out and bought a tarp to cover our bikes. I would say it got about a good inch of snow. BRRRR!!!!
Today is finally friday!!!! Yay!!! Today in my Baking class we made Cinnamon Rolls. They won Brett's approval so that means a lot! Especially cause his family makes Great food!
Hopefully I'll be able to learn a few recipes from them eventually. Hope everyone is having a wonderful friday!!
Its definitely time to grab a warm blanket and a hot cup of cocoa and just relax. :)

Long post!
Ok, it has been a while since I started this blog and I'm a little disappointed in myself because I told myself that I would try to write a ton for this blog but life happens. On top of work, school, and adjusting to married life its been a tad bit busy. But let me update you on whats been happening!
1. Brett and I went shopping on Saturday and got a wonderful, marvelous, and did I mention BEAUTIFUL KitchenAid Mixer! Life has been good! Brett cant stop laughing because of how much I hovered over this baby.
2. Brett and I have been trying very hard to be cooperative to our neighbors upstairs. I'm sure almost everyone and their dog knows about this story but pretty much our neighbors upstairs thinks Brett and I are too loud. With the constant knocking and ringing our doorbell relentlessly we talked with our Manager about the whole thing. She said she'll take care of it and apologized. (Did I mention that these people knock on our door during the day, not even in the evening at quiet hours) Anyways, a couple of days past and they still knock on our door every single hour of the day! So, we finally told our wonderful neighbors if they knock on our door again, we are calling the police on them. They finally stopped knocking! Hallelujah! But now they moved on banging on the floor above. Brett and I just chose to ignore it. Taking on the attitude that this is our life now and we'll have to live with obnoxious people above us.
Now Sunday, Brett and I were watching "Finding Nemo" at about 8 pm at night. When once again our neighbors started banging on the ceiling above us. OVER FINDING NEMO!!!! Anyways, Brett and I didnt' even acknowledge all their hard-work they were doing above us when we get a knock on the door. I answered the door and its the police! Yes people. Our great Elder's Quorum President had called the police on us about Finding Nemo....
We let them in and the police started to explain that they got a call about some loud sound coming from our apartment. (The movie is still going by the way). I told the officer well this is the level we have been watching our movie at. Then the police started to laugh and said that was ridiculous because that is a STANDARD VOLUME! Thank you Mister Policeman! One of the officers took another call chuckling about the whole situation. Long story short, the police officer ended up talking to our neighbors upstairs to tell them that this wasn't a problem. We watched the police leave and seriously 2 seconds after they left they started to hit our ceiling all over again. ( I guess they didn't get the message).
Anyways...
3. I'm in a Baking class this semester and I love it so far! Today I get to make French Bread and I pray that it works out! Last week I made Unleavened Bread... yea, I'm excited to eat something actually good. haha.
4. Brett and I went bowling for family night last week and it was so fun! I won the first game! It was
AWESOME! Especially because Brett was getting all cocky on me. I got three strikes in a row! (That does not happen) haha. I got a 104 and the next game Brett won by a long shot with 130 or something. :) Good job, Hunny!
5. Brett and I went to our friend Kelsey's mission call announcement party. Kelsey lived with me when I was doing my internship for Walt Disney World in Florida. So, she watched and listened to all what was happening between Brett and I. She was very supportive and gave great advice when dating long distance got too hard. Anyways, Kelsey is going to serve in the Ogden, UT mission. Spanish Speaking. She leaves February 8th! Congratulations Kelsey!!!
6. My mom put up pictures of my wedding!!! Sooo happy! Only a few. If you guys want to check out the rest of them, just go to www.joysoflifeproofs.com and click on our names and put in the password 97035. But here our a few that my mommy put up!
