HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Suzanne and I are Super fans for BYU. We have Y's painted on our faces blue chunks on hair and have our FULLY INVESTED T Shirts on. I also have my BYU flip Flops on. Go Cougs! Unfortunately there are more Utah Fans (Yes Trish no need for the comment) then their are BYU fans. But that is Okay. I will live. I'll post pictures tomorrow of us. Matt didn't dress up as usual he just like Halloween for the treats.

Busy

Sorry guys today is a busy day, it is the end of the month you know.... I guess you can check out Jordan and Michaela's blog they started one last night.

Pumpkins

This weekend was carving pumpkins time! Will, Kristin, Suzanne, Nate, Matt (kind of) and myself all carved pumpkins. It was great!

Ohh wait to back up... Kristin took Will out for night on Friday and dropped Jason off at my work for Matt and I to babysit. He is a good little boy except for when he wakes up at 6 a.m. Matt and I left him in his crib until it was 7 a.m. at that point neither of us could sleep any longer so what is the point. Needless to say Jason was a crabby boy until his nap at 2. We went Frisbee golfing in the morning on Saturday, Matt and Will caught the tail end of the "BYU frisbee golf club" and a few of those guys played with Will and Matt. It took forever, it didn't bother me BUT the second throws on each hole were getting annoying.

Later that day we all carved our pumpkins. Here are the pictures Kristin took.

Matt doesn't have much interest in carving so I cut it open and gutted it and this is what he did... This is what Matt was doing while all of us were carving watching football.Here is Suzanne's and her usual silly face pumpkin.Some of you may not know the song but there is a song they play on the radio around this time called "Pumpkin Head Harvey" Its a great little kid song that is where I got the inspiration of carving my dad (Harvey) on my pumpkin this year.
Dang that is one good lookin Pumpkin Head Harvey!After carving pumpkins we went to see "Stardust" again I really like that movie. Probably one I'll actually buy!

Sunday we got home and I had a call from my teacher for my girls and she couldn't teach! Yikes so I had an hour to put together a lesson. It was so easy though it was on personal health. Eating right and exercise. What a cinch! So that was no problem. Anyways that's all that happened.... Hope everyone is ready for Halloween! Suzanne and I are going to be the coolest! (really not but we will be pretty cool)

He DID IT

"I told him he could do it He did it He did it" <-- to the tune of Pro. Higgins in "My Fair Lady"

Matt went to his Math class last night and ACTUALLY understood what was being taught! He has been studying like mad to try and get up to speed with his class and yesterday he completely understood what the teacher was doing. On Tuesdays and Thursdays is when he has Math and about 45 minutes after Math he has Econ. Well a really smart kid from the Math class caught up to Matt about a week ago in between classes and said "Hey I know we have 45 minutes in between Math and Econ. if you need help studying for Math, I can help you" So Matt has been working with that kid and going over the old stuff over and over. Well Thanks all your prayers are working! He actually got it! Now it's time to get up to snuff on all the other classes. Which shouldn't be too hard I'll have to help him make flash cards this weekend.

More adventures at work, today is moving day yet again. Back downstairs we go! I'll have to take a picture once I am down there, to show you all what my desk looks like and such. Also, I got this e~mail last Monday and it said "Top Users List" and it my stats on the page with 12,406 hits for a week and it showed my bandwidth or however you spell it. So I was freaking out thinking I was on the Internet way too much at work I got on the top ten list for real this time yikes! So I was trying hard not to look things up as often and such until I finally got the guts to ask our IT guy about the e~mail. I showed it to him and he start laughing. He told me I was a bottom dweller on the Internet and 12,406 is what most have in one day not one week. So I felt much better about my blog reading and now fell okay about my "blogging addiction"

Tonight is.... "Clean up, Clean up, everybody everywhere! Clean up, Clean up, now is the time to do your share." Laundry, Vacuuming, Scrubbing Floors, Walls and Doors. I like cleaning day especially when Matt is home because he helps :)

Tomorrow is pumpkin carving day! I am so excited to surprise you all with what I will carve! Ohh and for those of you who have all ready carved? I found out if you put Vaseline on where you carved on the pumpkin it wont shrivel as fast so they will be looking okay for Halloween. Weird sounding I know but they said to be liberal don't go stingy on the stuff.

Will and Art have fun frolfing today, Matt is jealous, Will you will need to go tomorrow too :) I am positive you are okay with this.

Once on this Island

Another edition of the Hale Center Theatre. Suzanne's work had tickets and we (Nate Suzanne Matt and I) we're able to go! It was great we got VIP tickets, really not any different then other tickets we've had previously, but the VIP part was that we got to complementary treats at intermission! Yummm! I love it!

The play was okay nothing totally awesome like the others, it was a musical that is loosely based on the Little Mermaid if you haven't seen it. Matt was pretty bored during the first half but the second half redeemed itself. Interesting it seems like every play we see there the second half makes up for the boring first half. Anyways Love going to plays they are ALWAYS a treat.

Okay all you ladies out there

It is really easy you just take a little bit of hair. NOT ALOT that is where most girls mess it up take about a 1 inch by 1/2 inch strip of hair (doesn't have to be exact) then instead of curling like normal just wrap the hair around this curling iron yourself and hold the end. I don't even use hairspray when I do it and it stays in all day, Make sure your pieces stay together after you unravel it. You might want to spritz on a little bit of hair spray right after the curling. DON'T SPRAY ALL AT THE END. The curls will all stick together and it looks silly when ALL your hair is flying in the wind (because of the hairspray) rather then pieces. All right if that wasn't good enough instruction I can show you all how later, and I am sure to some of you its no revelation you just haven't done it in a while.

Yesterday was a "D.I. Ball" meaning you go find the most 60 70 or 80 outfit and go to a dance. We had about 50 youth there last night to learn The Macarena (Yeah we did the whole song... it never ends) The electric slide, the Boot Scoot and Bogey, and Thriller. It was pretty fun. I wore one of my co-workers prom type dress that she made and wore when she was 15 I think she said it was in the 70's sometime. It was pretty itchy that's for sure. But it was fun to see the girls all wearing ohh wait pretty much what they have right now... Weird how leggings are coming back I hate those things. Anyways we had a fun time but by 8:15 I ready to go home and stop listening to ridiculously loud music. I don't know how I did it back in the day! Listen to loud music all the time. I think the Rogue Valley Family Fun Center ruined me.... So loud all the time!

Matt is having a rougher semester then he expected I think, he works really really hard but since all his teachers are foreign he has a hard time understanding them in class. Also a lot of the tests are on the lectures they give, ahh curse the U and your foreign teachers. Anyways Pray for Matt that he can get good grades in these last few weeks he is definitely nervous that's for sure!

Whelp that's all folks.....
Signing out

Hello Hello

Hi all in blogging land its me again for another edition of the Spence Family Post. I thought I would start by giving a shout out to my co-worker Jared Nicol who is training to be a volunteer EMT to help out with the red cross when the terrorists attack Salt Lake City. (At least that was he said) I had to pretend I was a lady having a heart attack yesterday while I was eating my lunch so he could practice. Thanks to him I safely made it to the hospital and was given the proper amount of medication and oxygen. Phew! I could have died while eating my green beans and Honey Dijon chicken!

Second I would like to mention another co-worker of mine Whitney. She was all sorts of perplexed on how to curl her hair so it would stay curled. She saw my curls one day and asked me how to do it. I showed her and the next day she showed up to work with loverly curls that stayed in all day. Just call me,... Hairdini!

Third I made Pizza for dinner last night with Cinnamon rolls and cheese rolls. It wasn't too shabby. All I did was make those Rhodes freezer rolls and took them out about 3 minutes before they were done put a tiny bit of butter on them then sprinkled cheese on one half then Cinnamon sugar on the other half. Look at me I am nesting!

Fourth I got to watch Pride and Prejudice last night while I cooked and did laundry... ahhh I love that movie it's so wonderful!

Lastly, I have a big meeting today with all the owners of our company and all the owners of Garbett Homes. The builder that built the house Matt and I bought. I have been working with these people for 2 years now and haven't meet most of the people I talk to on the phone everyday. This should be interesting, wish me luck!

OHH and P.S. this is Jim one of the owners of Meridian he is a lawyer and in all the years working for Meridian this is claimed to be the first time he has ever worn shorts to work. Just thought I would share :)

Its that weekend time again!

We had a great weekend! Although I cant really remember what we did on Friday night. I think we just hung out. Kristin Suzanne and I went to the store to go buy apples to make Carmel Apples and I think that's about it. We probably played games and watched movies as usual.

Saturday was a bad weather day. We went over to Maceys to pick up our Pumpkins, what a selection! Also they all looked like good pumpkins so they were easy to pick. PLUS at 9 cents a pound who can beat that price! This was the score at the beginning of the football game an interception and touchdown within seconds of the game starting.This is my cousin Caleb he is on the ground crew, so we gave him a twin sandwich! As you can see in the progression of pictures, the weather got really bad at the football game from the beginning, to there in the 4Th quarter of the football game. Kristin and Will left just before the BLIZZARD, when I say blizzard I mean blizzard too look how big those snowflakes are! But of course the Cougars won :) and later that night we all watched Transformers and ate our HARD AS ROCK Carmel apples. I love Transformers! Kristin and I discovered that we melted the Carmel too long so it got really hard on the outside of the apple. At one point Matt was biting into his apple that had Carmel, white chocolate, and Cinnamon sugar on the outside, after he bit it we heard a crack and Matt say "Is my tooth still there?" We all were laughing so hard because we were all having a really hard time biting the Apples. Ohh and Travis was over pretty much all weekend, anyways he said they were fine. Kristin and I didn't believe him.

Sunday we had regional conference and we were one of the 14 out 107 stakes invited to the conference center to listen to Elder Boyd K Packer and President Gordon B Hinckley speak! They were wonderful! We were only 7 rows away and I cant tell you how amazingly close you feel to the spirit of the lord when you listen to these awesome men speak. I wish I could do that every Sunday!

Bonus Video! Matt was putting on his really warm football socks. Jason had just gotten out of the bath tub and was curious why Matt was pulling his socks up to his thighs so we thought Jason Might want to try them on. :)

Thursday

So as I thought about "The Office" I thought maybe I should give you all insight to my Office. This is out Sharon's (my aunt and one of the escrow officers I work for) window. I look at the snow topped mountains and the pretty trees changing colors then I ALWAYS notice something ruining the picture. THIS!!! What the honk is a U of U flag doing there! Last year when the Cougars beat the Utes there was a Y flag above the U flag. I am really not THAT upset about it... It just taints my scenery.

This is my co-worker Nathias. We all call him Nate because Nathias is just weird (he changed his own name to that from Nathan) and YES that is how his desk usually looks... messy. Hes a pretty cool kid though.
Here is Tori, she is my other co-worker. At that sniagrab sale she bought that coat and was DYING for it to get cold so she could wear it to work, yesterday was nippy so she wore her coat. Its pretty cute I think. Oh and as always Nate is being a geek.
This is what Matt was doing while "The Office" was on last night. We didnt get to watch it very well with all the people over but that is okay because Kristin DVR's it for us everyweek just in case we miss it. That is the only show we dont like to miss. ANYWAYS I think this has to be why Jason is such a crazy kid uncle Matt teaches him stuff like this.

BUT as you can see he loves his uncle Matt.
This is how Kristin feels about "The Office" its just not that funny to her... But to the rest of us HILARIOUS!
The End :)

Paul Cardall and Dinner

Who is Paul Cardall? This is Paul Cardall~

Contemporary jazz pianist Paul Cardall was born April 24, 1973; suffering from a congenital heart defect, he was given only days to live but defied medical expectations, enduring a series of surgeries and illnesses throughout his childhood. Finding comfort in music, Cardall began piano lessons at age eight but quit six months later, not playing again for a decade. While in high school, however, tragedy struck when one of his best friends was killed in a car accident; a grieving Cardall spontaneously composed a musical tribute, going on to write a dozen more songs and in 1995 privately pressing an album. Around that same time he took a job playing piano at a local department store during the holiday season, selling his record to customers; one copy of the disc made its way to author Richard Paul Evans, the writer of the best-seller The Christmas Box, who invited Cardall to write and record a musical adaptation of the book. The resulting album, also titled The Christmas Box, was released in 1997; upon signing to the Narada label, Cardall reissued the album two years later in conjunction with a new effort, The Looking Glass, which, like its predecessor, drew inspiration from Evans' novels. Cardall issued two albums in 2002, Daily Devotions and Miracles: A Journey of Hope and Healing. Stone Angel has distributed many of his releases, including 2004's Christmas Hymns, Vol. 1 and 2007's Songs of Praise.

We had a stake standards night and he was the guest. He plays quite well on the piano. I like listening to piano music but I think it was a little above my beehives, they were chatting the whole time not even listening, It was hard to keep their attention. I probably would have done the same thing when I was their age though so I wasn't too annoyed.

When I got home Nate had started making dinner, he made Hawaiian Haystacks but they were quite different then the ones that I usually make. They were still very good though and Matt got home seconds before we started eating so he got to join us! I also went running, I need to start working out after YW meetings and activities or else I would only be able to go running about 3 days out of the week! Who knew I would have so many meetings with more to come tonight. Hopefully they slow down soon, i know were just busy because of the new ward and reorganization.

P.S. the BYU game was re-broadcasted last night on KBYU so Matt and I sat down to watch the first half that we listened to on the radio, it was great :)

MORNING GLORY TO YA!

Whelp another day another dollar right? Again nothing exciting happened to report on I had stake meetings all night and Matt came home a little late from school. I think I need to post a picture of Darby on here soon. Suzanne's car is named Darby Shaw. Look it up if you don't know who that is. Anyways Nate has been tinking with it to get it into prime condition. It needs a few minor things done. Yesterday he did some J B welding and fixed her door for her, don't ask me what was wrong with it. Tomorrow maybe I'll put a picture up of ole Darby we met yesterday when she gave me a ride. Its FINALLY registered!
The weather has been junky this week and its only getting worse! Poor Grandma and Grandpa Coombs you had winter for the last few months in Peru and you come back to winter here in the states! Yuck!

Hey all!

Yesterday was nothing eventful except since Sunday I took the easy way out by making biscuits and gravy for dinner, i tried my hand at french dip sandwiches and Aujou. They we're good! I had a hard time cutting up the meat really thin because my knives are sorry excuses for cutlery, Kristin can attest. But the sandwiches were still good. Matt really likes Beef when I make it since it is about 3 or 4 times a month. I also worked out last night, lately I have been eating a lot of junk food because so many people have it around the office. I keep grabbing handfuls of those mallow~pumpkins or candy corn so today I say ENOUGH no more! Candy just makes me so much more tired! Except on Halloween I will indulge, but other then that I don't want to eat it anymore. Well back to work. Hope all those Maxwell's had fun in Disneyland :)

Hello Weekend, Oh wait Good bye weekend

Did anyone else feel like that happened?
Friday Matt hung out with Ryan again and we all woke up early on Saturday for Matt to go over to the Disc Golf Tournament. My guess is there were about 40 people that entered? (Will correct me if I am wrong) and 11 were intermediate, which is the group Matt and Will played in. I'll let Kristin or Will tell you how Will did.
I didn't know this was something that would take all day, they started at 10 and ended at about 6! Sheesh. Plus Will had the Honda so Suzanne Kristin and I couldn't go anywhere because there was no car seat for Jason. It wasn't too bad we pretty much just hung out the whole day and were bums. Back to disc golf though. In the first round Matt was with a group of kids I believe a 9 year old and a 13 year old. They were in a different category then he was but they still played in the same group. Well Matt scored a 4 over which is really good for that course. Then they took their lunch break and Matt was then placed in the winner group, He got 1st place he tied with this other guy, so they had a play off and Matt went 6 holes before he was beat. So Matt ended up with 2nd. Not bad for his first tournament! He won 24 dollars to a disc golf store or something. I wonder what he'll buy.
Later that evening Matt played with Jason while Travis was over with us playing ticket to ride. We were listening to the game on the radio and for the second half Matt and I went over to the Legacy Grille at BYU to watch the second half. It wasn't a great game BYU didn't play that well but they still won, regardless of their turnover problem. Hopefully we can see that corrected through out the season.
Yesterday Ryan left and we went to church at 2. Matt taught elders quorum and did wonderful, he even got participation which is uncommon in our ward I guess. I went to YW and we had 3 girls there! Not too bad we tripled our numbers from last week!
Next week was have regional conference at the Conference center where President Gordon B Hinckley will preside and Boyd K Packer will be there too! How cool, the last time I remember something like this is when we went to Central Point and sat in the really big barn type place to listen to Dallin H Oaks. Suzanne and Nate are supposed to listen to it at their stake center but they are going to come with us instead. I also watched Flicka this weekend thanks to Kristins DVD burning skills. and I guess thats all folks...

Happy Friday!

Yes! The weekend is here even though this week seemed to fly by, probably because I didn't work on Monday. I made Rice Crispy treats and did a Jar of Candy Corn for that Halloween Spook. I did one of our Marketers because I figured no one else would do him. Plus, I don't know how good the Rice Crispys are and I wont be offended or even hear about it if he doesn't like them.

Matt and I left late for work today the latest we have ever left 7:19 but on the way to work we saw this... Its blurry because we were driving but the colors we so awesome! Plus we weren't even that late we, there wasn't much traffic this morning.

Well tomorrow is Matt's first Frisbee golf Tournament. We'll see how he does. It is at the Art Dye course in American Fork, hope he does well!

Cornbellys Corn Maze

SO last night we went to the corn maze. It was light when we started then it got really dark very fast. It was SO HARD! We got to # 5 in the maze out of ten then we all decided we had had enough so we cut through and found our way out. It gets 10 times harder at night! You cant see so you cant remember where you've been and if you look at the maze above there are a lot of circles and dead ends. It was fun though, we only lost one girl then I found out every single one of the girls in our Young Women have cell phones so they called the missing girl and found her by some bridge. It was hilarious! They all thought I was crazy for not having a cell phone I am so behind the times...

Also I got to work this morning and I had been spooked by the Halloween ghost. You know where you have to post the ghost at your desk then spook 2 other people the next day? Most people have been giving out a bunch of candy in a little pumpkin or something similar, I am thinking I want to give out something different... Maybe Carmel Apples? That means I have to make them tonight ... uhhh any easy cute ideas? Anyone?

Also Matt's friend Ryan is in town so when I was gone to Young Women's he had a friend to hang out with. ALSO he got a call from the Elders Quorum President 2 nights ago he wanted Matt to teach the Elders this coming Sunday. So the President stopped by right after I left to go the the corn maze yesterday to drop off the manual and said "yeah so its lesson 19 so if you could teach this week that would be great and uhh here are your home teaching families you want to home teach right? Ohh and uhhh yeah this will be your calling so we'll have you teaching probably 2 weeks out of the month... Okay thanks :) " Matt was like hows that for asking YIKES! But he is a good teacher anyways I am sure he'll do great. He went from teaching Sunday school to Primary now to Elders Quorum what a jump! Wish him luck!

Oh and Kristin when we go to the Corn Maze this year lets make sure it's light so I can actually finish the maze I wonder if Jason will want to eat the corn again that was so gross! ;)

Planet of the what??

I can't believe I sat through that movie last night Planet of the Apes how dumb! It was actually a little bit better then I thought it would be but promise I had really really low expectations. I also got home just in time to throw some running clothes on and get outside before its dark. Yikes! I hate how quickly its getting dark! But the weather was nice yesterday for a jog. It is also nice to have Matt home this week. He read out loud to me the whole time I was making dinner from his econ book so at least I know he is getting a little study in during his fall break. Tonight I go to the corn maze with the Young Women I'll have to tell y'all how it goes.

Pictures

This is Suzanne and Nate.

This is Colton and Matt, Colton is waiting to leave for conference.
Here is Colton posing for the camera.
Here is Jason watching Colton pose for the camera and copying him.
Here is Suzanne with a nice Alpacas sweater on... I cant find mine... Did someone steal mine?
Here are the GORGEOUS mountains outside Kristin and Wills house.
Here is the Scarecrow Matt and I made for the front yard. (this isn't the actual one, this is the example, ours is cuter but I didn't have time to take a picture of it)

Jason just woke up from a nap and had no intention of moving from Matt's lap.
Kristin finished the rug that my mom made/gave to Kristin for Sierras room.
Matt and Jason were playing ball and lost one to under the entertainment center
They found the ball and were checking to see if any others were under there.

So I was the only one that took pictures this weekend? All right there they are... It was a good weekend.

Hey Hey Hey~!

So nothing exciting today just thought I would say Hi to all of you! Tomorrow is supposed to be really yucky rainy snowy weather. I am not ready for winter! I want more Autumn! Ohh and Matt doesn't think he did as well on his Math test as he'd liked. Good thing next week is Fall break (who has fall break?) so he can study a little more to get ahead or I guess with his Math class just on the right path. Will might be used a bit this next week! ;) OHHH and we don't have to work on Monday Yee Haw!

Yeah we're here

Yes we are alive I know you haven't heard from us in a while! We have been busy, Me with Young Women's and Matt with School. He took the day off today to study for his midterms... so far he has faired well but he is nervous for his Math midterm tonight, that is what he should be studying all day for. He bought this CD-ROM to help him study off of Amazon. He said its a really cool CD-ROM and thinks it will help him a ton for the test. On the cover of the CD is a bunch of teenage/college kids jumping and guess who is right in the middle, John Heder... so funny, Matt was like is that Napoleon?! Ha ha must have been an early modeling gig or something. Anyways wish him luck on his Math test.

As for me I had presidency meeting on Tuesday night that last about 2 and a half hours (not bad for the first time) then Young Women's last night. We had a good turn out of 10 girls. Weird I am used to about 30 or 40 right? Anyways Emily the President asked me to prepare a get to know you game. So I decided to play 3 men on a couch. If you don't know it we'll have to play it sometime its really fun. I have probably played it about 15 times and it has never flopped everyone loves it. WELL I missed the memo that the girls didn't even know each other, so it was really hard and they didn't even know any names plus they didnt even get it anyways, I felt so bad the the activity tanked. Luckily our president is really good and of course over prepared and changed gears really quickly. It should be interesting with the girls, they are definitely diverse all very different. We'll see how it all goes...

He had a bad day....

1. We woke up late and the traffic was horrendous so Matt got to work late.
2. There was nothing to do all morning but right as soon as the afternoon rolled around he was SLAMMED
3. He went out to his car to eat a snack and relax on his last break and he noticed our rear tire was completely flat.
4. He went to put the spare on but we have no spare apparently (I told him to check when we bought the car, I guess I should have )
5. So Matt lined up a co-worker to take him and the tire that he would take off the car to go see where the hole was and if the shop could fix it.
6. The wrench in the car to get the lug nuts off was the wrong size... also his star wrench was in the back of the jeep.
7. Since I took both sets of keys yesterday and didn't drive I couldn't come pick him up for school or drop him off the needed wrench so he had to ride trax to school and leave his car in his work parking lot with a flat.
8. He rode trax to what he thought was the correct drop off site (which is was) but instead of walking west he thought his school was east.
9. He forgot his coat and it was cold yesterday.
10. After walking for about 25 minutes in the wrong direction he found another trax station and took it back to his original station where he was dropped off.
11. THEN he realized he need to walk west. He walked west and got to school about an hour late, it had taken him two hours in the cold to get to school.
12. He called me right before he left from work the tell me to come pick him up at 8:30 for some reason in my head that jumbled up to 9:30. He sat in the cold yet again for about a half an hour before he called me and I drove like the dickens to go get him about 45 minutes late.
13. Because I was late picking him up he wasn't able to study for his Math midterm on his cd-rom program.
14. I didn't make dinner, he was starving when he got home so I toasted him some waffles.

He had just enough time to sit down for a little but to watch the rest of a movie with Suzanne and Nate then we went to bed.

No wonder he didn't want to get out of bed this morning! Now he's got to get to work figure out what needs to do about the tire and somehow make time to study for his Math midterm.

What a Weekend!

Here are some quick notes.

I didn't take any pictures this weekend... what was I thinking!

Friday
It was a busy busy day at work then Matt and I went down to Kristin and Wills and stopped by at my friend Leesa's wedding reception. She looked beautiful! We took Jason with us and he really liked the grape drink that was served.

Saturday
Matt Will and I went over to Art Dye Frisbee golf course, there is a tourney there in a week so they were practising. It was really windy and quite chilly. Matt didn't have his best game but I think it was good practice. I took a nap while Jason and Matt played then we went back home to Herriman to pick up some clothes and bundle up for my cousin Conner's Football game. It was SNOWING like crazy and we got there at half time. Matt had on his hunting boots and his snow pants and coat. Matt volunteered to be on the chain gang and hold one of the markers. What a nice guy considering the field was a mess and at one end there was probably 6 inches of standing water. Then after that we went over to Ray and Linda's to watch the BYU football game with everyone. It was a good game (it shouldn't have been, we are way better than New Mexico you just couldn't tell) and because of a few lucky turnovers we won the game. Whew! Then we went home and had our celebratory Martenellis.

Sunday
Matt and I woke up at 5:30 am and left for Vernal. I drove in the morning and let me tell you its a little creepy out there past Heber in the dark. I have never driven out there before so I wasn't familiar with the roads. We got to Vernal at about 8:30 then we left for church with the Larsen Family. They are some good friends of ours that I knew when I was a kid. Their oldest boy Landon is leaving tomorrow for his mission to Brazil. He gave an excellent talk, boy has he grown up! I remember him rocking out with us to Ace of Base in 5Th grade! ha ha Anyways after sacrament we had to go back home for Matt to finish up a little homework. The drive back through Provo Canyon was GORGEOUS! All the leaves of fall and the mountains... Man i should have a taken a picture! We got home and took a little nap then Matt finished his homework and I made dinner and we watched Cars then Matt played his guitar until we went to bed.

It was a good weekend! If anyone is wondering Suzanne was in Idaho with Nate. Oh and this morning i ended up with both sets of keys to the Jeep so Suzanne is stranded at home Good thing she called Sharon and she can give her a ride to work.. Whoops I feel terrible!
