Moving right along

Something time is just so good at. It was good to be home for Thanksgiving again, I ran in the Turkey Trot again, the 2 mile, I know (WIMP!) it actually wasn't bad at all, and I didn't even train for it, it just left me incredibly sore for 3 days -_- It was fun to run with Carrie again though. We then went to her house had breakfast, hurried home and then went to Marcus's house where there was some good eatin ^_^ I got sick though on Sat. the 21st and my stomach has been broken ever since, I don't know I haven't had much of an appetite, and when I did eat I'd end up with stomach pain afterwards, so I didn't stuff myself like usual which is actually a good thing. So all in all it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family and food-I LOVE Thanksgiving!

We had our Evans' party on Friday like usual, it was good to see everyone, especially Spenc and Steph and their children because it had been a while. The Brimley's were missing one family, so were we and the Salmons only had one family, so they were all missed, but I'm excited for the Christmas Party.

So us that live here in the Vally know that we lack the season called fall, and it's sad because it's beautiful and then we hear others talk about how much they love it and all the beautiful colors, but in all fairness we have this



all year round and there's no leaves to be raked up.

Catch up time

Sheesh am I really terrible at this, well a lot has gone down since I last updated, naturally. Well I bought my very first car (I do still owe the bank of Wayne and Paula) not quite the dream car, but definitely an up grade from the last car I drove (which I really did love, now it's Trevor's to love).

The good ol Camry, it served me well

I wanted a newer Nissan Altima or Sentra but....

I ended up with this a 2001 Nissan Altima, older then I wanted, but still it's great, and with my job I'm sure putting a lot of miles on it and need a good reliable car.




On Halloween I got invited to go to the Phoenix Zoo with Tia (The little girl I work with) and her family, good times were had by all. The last time I'd been to a Zoo was 2005 when I lived in China.


That night was good fun too.


Trevor and Abby-I love the 'babbit all in blue'

We celebrated Matthew's 1st birthday-he was 'the boy who lived' for Halloween I thought it was a cute idea.


Here's adorable little Liam as Liam McQueen


I was a bum and didn't come up with a costume this year so I jacked his ^_^


This past week was a lot of fun-on Tuesday I was finally able to go to an Arizona Fall Ball game, I missed doing that while I was on my mission. I enjoy them so, $6, anywhere you want to sit, hott young baseball players, too bad I have to wait till next year, I didn't take full advantage of this season.

On Wednesday I went to the Cartel concert with Trevor and his friends, my second concert ever it'd been a while The Ataris and Vandals was the last concert I went to, I think that was 1999. So yeah I'm not a big concert goer, but I LOVE Cartel they are my favorite band, so I just had to go.

Then on Thurdsay was full of driving, That's the day Tia has OT(therapy) So I drive out to Chandler, then back to Mesa, and of course repeat so that's about 46 miles every Thursday, but this particular one was Payton's b-day which was a great party-thank you Reddin and Karen. Then I went to a Twilight Party, personally I would never throw something like that, but it was fun to attend, they have a home theater, Jamie is ubber creative, and played a trivia game, so it was a fun party, thank you Jamie for inviting me^^

I'm not even joking this cake is what dreams are made of, it's so wonderfully delicious, so if I ever get married, Jamie you are so doing my wedding cake! I got the best part Edward's hair-so beautiful. I went to New Moon the next morning with all the older people which was great, it was funny with all older people because when Jacob took off his shirt there was this collective little gasp/sigh it was quiet and contained, it was pretty funny-all the men in attendance laughed at that, but no ridiculous screaming thank goodness for that, and the fact that it was only $5. So yes I admit to loving the Twilight Saga, but it's ridiculous how crazy/mad some people are about it.
