Our Apt.

Incase you were wondering what our apartment looks like . . . this is it.
It is very simple, we can't paint.

(side note: white walls are blah . . .

especially when you are dealing with super-high glossy paint)

It is tiny, but we are having so much fun making it our home.

We are trying this new thing called

"hanging up your clothes right when you take them off"

Please don't think we are disgusting.

Since it has only been in effect for a week, we are doing really well.

It is ridiculous how quick a 600-ish foot apartment gets/looks dirty.

Anywho . . . this is it.

. . . well our family room and kitchen that is . . .

More pictures to come of the bedroom, bathroom, and office.

This is the view of our family room, right when you walk in the door.

Our lovely couches and ottoman courtesy of Biglots . . . we are classy.

Our television and laundry. I don't know why I didn't move that for the picture.

Our kitchen table.

Our appliances are from the 70's I am pretty sure . . . our oven is yellow.

I am loving it here.

Our neighbors are Awesome!

I am SO thankful for my sweet husband and for our apartment and for our jobs and for school (even though I hate it).

another sidenote: sorry for the crappy picture quality.

Don't Tell Thomas

. . . or my dad . . .

I am playing Christmas music on here already.

Have you noticed people being nicer?

Its the AMAZING Arizona weather. . .

and the fact that Christmas is just around the corner!

I am excited to start watching movies like

. . . yes both versions . . .

Anyway. . . Happy Thanksgiving! . . .

Now let's get on to Christmas. . . kidding kidding.

Fwankenstein

. . . I love my husband . . .

. . . he dresses up with me for Halloween . . .

. . . Carves a wicked pumkin . . .

. . . and . . .

. . . lets me indulge in my white trash love . . .

A Letter to Pepper

Dear Pepper,
We miss you. Thanks for being such a great pet to our family. I don't remember life without you. You were such a wonderful part of our family. I always joked that you were as much a part of our family as Tanner, since you were the same age and all. I remember when we first got you and you were tiny! You were the sweetest little thing. We all fought on who got to sleep with you. You were always so content, and would just walk around our backyard, I know you had your routine. When we left you would always peek your head out the gate and watch us, and when we got home you would be in the same position. You were looking out for us. Thank for being sweet with Mariah, she loves you and was always so excited to see you. Anyway Cheps, we love you and we're going to miss you. I am glad you aren't in pain anymore.
Love,
Ferf

Flying

Yesterday was a special day.

Katie and Ryan blessed baby Ellison.

It was amazing.

I love baby blessings, they are so sweet.

Ryan did great, and little El Rae looked precious.

After the blessing and luncheon,

Thomas, Sonny, and I flew to Utah.

It was my second trip to UT

and I was there for less than 30 minutes.

Kinda crazy.

We got to fly over the Grand Canyon.

It was beautiful.

Thomas and I flew home in the helicopter

listening to Brad Paisley.

Besides the headache and popping ears,

it was a wonderful trip!

Here are some pictures, unfortunately I didn't get any of

the happy family, but rest assured, they all looked great!
