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!
