Thanksgiving Pictures!

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving! We had a great time cooking and everything came out great! My favorite was the sweet potato casserole....more like dessert...For those of you who didn't know, I stayed in LA for Thanksgiving and shared it with my good friends Katie and Andrew and some of our new friends Scott and Heather who are also from Texas! They went to A and M so it was fun watching the game with them afterward. Also, another friend from Texas, Spencer, and his parents came over for dessert and the game. It was a good time had by all. I can't believe I have so many friends from Texas in Los Angeles that I didn't even know when I lived in Texas (except for Katie and Andrew)!

I know you can't see it, but Katie made me wear her "domestic diva" apron! Thanks Katie! Haha!

Me and the hubby! So nice to spend Thanksgiving together! Our second married Thanksgiving!

I ate that! Yummy! So much food! Rolls, green beah casserole, turkey, cranberry sauce, jello salad, pineapple salad, dressing, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes...did I miss anything?

All of our desserts! The pumpkin pie crust took me 1 and a half hours to make! But it was worth it! It was raining in LA that night...I will blame it on that! Apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and apple crisp!

Spencer with Rufus (Ryan and Becky's dog that Katie and Andrew were dogsitting) What a cute couple! Haha!

Katie's pretty pumpkin candles!

Scott and Heather watching football and eagerly awaiting food! We love that they are in LA!

Pretty table!

Our beautiful table decorations and place cards! Thanks for the artsy pictures Jared!

Don't you wish you were at our Thanksgiving?

This is the funniest thing I have seen in a while! I don't know if they realize what they are singing??? What do you think!?

Blah!

Hey everybody...

I have been at a loss for decent blog posts that anyone would actually want to read lately...so I just haven't been posting anything...but I feel like I should post something...

So, Thursday is going to be a blast! We have our entire meal planned and purchased! All Katie and I have to do is cook Wed. night and most of it Thursday! Everyone should be jealous bc this is going to be the best Thanksgiving ever! It will also be incredible bc UT is currently #2 and is going to kill A and M Thursday at 5:00 while we eat some delicious desserts! (Jared is making the pumpkin pie so we are very excited!)

As for today and the rest of this week before Thanksgiving, I am overloaded with a ton of school work which I should probably be doing right now instead of typing this stupid post. Well, you can all waste some time by reading this!

Happy early Thanksgiving! I will post pics after of all of our delicious food and decor! Let me know what your Thanksgiving festivities/traditions are!

Peace out!

Weeds

Jared and I started renting Weeds from Netflix about a month ago. We are currently on Season 3. I don't feel like I should recommend this to anyone due to excessive cussing and some inappropriate yet hilarious material...however it is so funny and has a great story line. So...I am not officially recommending this show, but I will tell you I love the characters and I think you might like it! :)

Guilty of my own accusation...

I wrote a post last week about how Christmas was starting to make its' way in so early this year (in stores, etc.), but I was looking online today for Christmas cards...guilty...I really like Christmas, and I can't wait to get our tree at Thanksgiving because we will be in LA this year. I am thinking about getting a real one. Are there thoughts on getting a real one for a small apartment. Will it smell too strong?

I am also thinking about making my own Christmas cards this year. I saw some cute designs at swoozie's www.swoozies.com that I would love to make even cuter!

Well, back to doing my laundry :) I am also going to go for a run with Jared tonight...hope it isn't too cold! We are shooting for 3 miles tonight. I am hoping Jared brings me my new tennis shoes tonight, too!

Election Fun!

My friend Kimberly came over yesterday to help set-up for an night of election fun with friends to see the results! We made some delicious chili (which I will def be making again...sooo yummy!!) as well as guacamole, and these cute little cupcakes! As you can see, I took a bite out of McCain first!
We had all just sat down to eat our chili at about 8:30 when after a commercial break, NBC cuts to a shot of a flashing sign that says, Barack Obama, 44th President of The United States with cheesy music playing in the background. It was so funny, we were all like, what just happened! They didn't even build it up or anything! They didn't even say "and because of the west coast, the electoral votes have come in, etc."...nothin'! Well, I guess I was hoping for a little more suspense than that for the party's sake, but I will take it! Congrats Obama, and we are looking forward to see how you will change America in the coming years. I know the fact that we elected the first African American Preseident is change enough for me to enjoy and be excited about for America today.
P.S. Are his kids the most adorable things you have ever seen or what? :)

P.P.S. Something you may not know about me...I was born on election day in 1984 and prevented both of my parents from voting for Reagan that year...

Here are some pic's from the Halloween Party! :)

Brad and Angelina...Lots of babies and a cool tattoo!...Were you guys able to return those dolls??Joe six pack (Jared), Hawaiian overboard, and Emo boy
A cruise passenger that had abandonded ship and none other than Sarah Palin...Maverick...aka...unbranded range animal...yes, I went to dictionary.com and realized that is the definition of Maverick...
Emo girl and Sarah! I am trying to look political...is it working...Brient '12?

I have now set a standard for Halloween parties for myself! We will have to outdo ourselves next year ladies! :)

Christmas in November?

So, when I was shopping for Halloween decor, there were Christmas items for sale already at multiple stores. I am shocked and a little annoyed that we can't enjoy one holiday before they sell crap for the next one. I mean, I love Christmas, but someone told me that they heard Christmas music in a mall this weekend. Sad...I think the stores are hurting for business so bad that they want to get people to buy their presents now...gees...

On another note, our good friends Mike and Catherine Haskew are coming to visit us next weekend on the 13th! And our good friend Guillermo Carreaga is coming Dec. 5th! I love when friends come to visit!

I didn't take any pictures with my camera at our Halloween party, so I will post them as soon as people send them to me! I had a blast, and we had a great time decorating! Thanks Ryan and Becky for letting us have the party at your house! :)

Oh, and my birthday is Friday! I have my flute teachers' recital to go to Friday which is sad bc I can't plan anything fun for the night of, but my cousin invited me over for dinner Saturday to celebrate, and I think we are going to go out to Korean BBQ and Karaoke Sunday night :) Let me know if you want to come!
