Moving Day!

Well, we finally did it! We packed and moved everything into our new house. It was a very tiring and stressful day, but we got through it. We love our new house, and can't wait to get rid of all these boxes!

David's parents came out and helped us move. Dave helped David set up all the big items, so all that is left to do is unpack all the smaller boxes.

Sister Lewis in our ward offered to bring us dinner for our first night in our new house. She is so sweet, she really treated us to a wonderful delicious dinner. Her presentation was beautiful too! We had beef stew, homemade biscuits, sliced fruit, salad, dessert and sparkling cider with 2 glasses to celebrate!

David was working on getting the TV and all his speakers together, and then our cat went and laid on him while he was reading the instructions. I thought this was a cute picture so I had to throw it in.

Finally David fell asleep on the floor along with our little kitty. He was exhausted from all the moving. I am SOOO glad we wont have to move again for a long time!!! I will post pictures of the house soon... :)

Help us name our new friend!

My husband brought me home a surprise today, he found our little kitten! He was walking to our apartment and saw that she was being picked on by another big cat, so he rescued her and brought her inside. We aren't sure what to name her....comment any suggestions please!!

She was pretty dirty so we decided to give her a bath. She didn't like it, which was expected - but it was much needed!

Even though it doesn't look like it here, she seemed to really like the blow dryer

Ta Da!! A big change isn't it! She doesn't look like a greasy dirty cat anymore! She was exploring while we were getting a little bit of packing done.

She fell asleep as I was brushing her, isn't she so cute!!

Hello Kitty!

I think the only thing I am going to miss about the apartment complex we live in are all the cats! There are cats EVERYWHERE around this place. They mostly hang out by the trash, but there are a few that are tame and hang out by the apartments to get attention. I love to sit and pet the ones that are friendly. Today I met this little kitten, she ran over 100 yards to come to me.

I petted her outside for a while, and then we let her in to feed her some tuna since she looked a little underfed. She ate a whole can of tuna, we had to break apart the pieces because she wasn't doing to much chewing.

After she ate, she played with me and David for a while... I wanted to keep her but we let her out. Maybe the day we move, if shes still hanging around Ill toss her in my car and take her with me as an outside pet. For the hour we had a kitty, it was fun!!

My Husband loves me....

I have been dreaming about this table I wanted at World Market for a while, and I knew it wasn't something we would buy until sometime next year, but I got a Friends and Family coupon for 25% off through my email, and thought we would go see how much we would save. Well -- we got there and they already had a sale on their dining sets, plus we got the extra 25% off!

I didn't expect my dream to come true but my wonderful husband decided we would never get that great of a price for it, so he bought me an early Christmas present this year!! It matches our cabinets and has the distressed look I loved, it extends to seat 8 people comfortably. I am so excited for my new kitchen!

Happy Halloween!

My friend Nikki the past couple years has hosted a pumpkin carving party, but since we moved we missed out on the annual fun, so we decided to still hold our own pumpkin carving party. We drank root beer, watched Hocus Pocus and carved our pumpkins. They turned out pretty good! We figured since we wont be going to any Halloween parties or dressing up, this would be our Halloween fun.

David was concentrating to make it perfect.

I made my own pattern to try to make a scary looking jack-o-lantern, mine never look as cool as David's - but I don't think I'd have the patience to do all the small details.

I love his hugs & kisses, but I REALLY love when he does those dishes!

My husband is so amazing! After I cook dinner he does the dishes - this is mostly an every night routine that goes on in our home. He even has fun with it, seeing how high he can pile the drying pile. I love him so much!!! :)
