Halloween

For Halloween, we had our ward party. We invited Mckenna and Corrie down to go with us...and we had a lot of fun. Corrie was a baseball player, Mckenna was Hermione from Harry Potter, and Jeff and I came up with our costumes an hour before the party. We were trying to be a couple from Grease, but we had to make do with the clothes we had.

Grandma Schlappi

My grandma Schlappi came down to visit my parents, and she made her way down to see our house and spend the afternoon with us. Jeff and I made a nice dinner for my grandma and my mom, and we had such a good time eating and laughing. I miss my extended family so much, and I can't wait until I see them again...which should be for Thanksgiving. Sorry the pictures are bad...Jeff forgot to turn off the flash.

Disneyland!!!

I am going to make an attempt to update on what we have been doing for the last couple months. We made it out to Disneyland because Jeff had two tickets left over from when he worked there. We both took the day off work and had so much fun together. These are some of the pictures we took.

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

My aunt sent me this email...and I had to laugh. I think I have used every one of these words on my sweet husband. I had to post it, mainly to give all of those sweet husbands (like mine) the heads up on the words women use.


(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying FORGET YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Alive and Well...

I haven't had the chance to post in a long time, so here is a little of what has happened this last month. I will post more pictures later when I get a chance.

Life is pretty much the same. I am still going to school every night, and I am enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I love to learn, and I feel like I am gaining a thorough knowledge of the law. I recently quit my job, and my last day is on Friday. I will take more classes next semester, and hopefully receive my AA Degree by May. I will have to take about 10 classes at one time, but hopefully it will all work out ok, and I won't be too overwhelmed.

Jeff has been working as usual...but his work has slowed down a lot. He is still going side jobs, but not nearly as many as he used to. He also started school again at night, so we don't really get the chance to see each other as much as we would like to. Jeff recently had his birthday...and I really feel like a horrible wife because we didn't really do anything special. I had planned for him to get an hour 1/2 massage, but that didn't fall through. The night of his birthday was the adult session of Stake Conference, so we spent the night there. After, we thought we would go out for some dessert at a restaurant we had been wanting to try. We got there at about 8:30, and they had just closed. Apparently they had been slow all night, so they closed down early...just our luck. So we went home, and Jeff ordered some Pizza Hut wings and cinnastix. I am pretty sure it was his worst birthday yet, and I feel horrible for it.

Well, that's about it...I will post pictures of the last month when I get a chance...
