It has been over a month since I have blogged and so much has been happening that I am sad I haven't kept up with it. I don't even really know where to start..I guess I will just summarize what all has happened and hope that it all comes out.
The last time I blogged, we were starting out school fall break. Landon and I both just worked and tried to catch up on some homework... we weren't very successful at the homework part. On the 24th of October, BYU Played against TCU and it was my first BYU football game to go to. Unfortunately, they lost pretty bad, but it was still fun to go and stand with my husband at the game. We were freezing but when you are watching football, who cares how cold it is outside! (Although if it was snowing I know I would have probably been shivering and begging with Landon so we could leave) On Sunday, the 25th, we had a wonderful night with our good friends Andrew and Sophie and there little baby girl Kennedy. We had them over and ater brinner (breakfast for dinner). There was so much food and it was delicious! After we ate we just played games, like usual, and really had a good time. On the 30th of October, our ward had a chili cookoff. I made a chili my mom always made when I was home and my mother-in-laws cornbread. Both are delicious, but I didn't win anything. It didn't really bother me though because I had a really fun time making them both and I was able to learn a new recipe! For halloween, we went to the temple after I got off work, and that was really it. We didn't really do anything exciting like handout candy or dress up or go to parties. We just enjoyed each others company in the temple and then came home. On November 6, Landon and I had our friends Clayton and Anna over for a double date night! We made homemade pizza and then went to Nicklecade and just had a blast! It was so much fun to hang out with them. Then that next week, on Saturday the 14th, my best friend Paige flew into town. She came to visit and just take a week off from her life in Texas. It was so good to see her. On the 19th, Landon and I and Paige all flew down to Texas. My other best friend Charlotte got married on the 21st of November so we were flying down for her wedding. It was so good to see my family and be with them. We drove down to Houston, where Charlotte lives and was getting married, on Friday and then went to her sealing Saturday morning and her reception that night. We had to drive back to Denton Saturday night because we were having a huge dinner Sunday for my grandma's birthday and my sister-in-law's birthday. It was also like a mini thanksgiving since Landon and I won't be there this year. Then Landon and I flew back late Sunday night and that was so hard. I miss my family so much and I hate saying goodbye. I have such a wonderful new family here, but I still miss my family back home. Anyway, The newest news was that Landon and I went and saw the movie New Moon yesterday. His work rented out a theatre that was showing it and bought everybody at work two tickets and a giftcard for popcorn and a drink. It was so much fun! We had a great time and I really liked the movie. It was much better then the first one.
Thanksgiving is in two days and I am so excited! I get to bring the mashed potatoes this year and it is going to be a lot of work. I think we finally decided that I need to get a 15 pound bag of medium sized potatoes and cook them all! I don't know if I have a bowl big enough to put the finished product in! It is going to be a lot of work but I am really excited for it because I LOVE mashed potatoes! I hope they turn out okay. I am also going to be making a family recipe pie. I hope that one turns out just as good as my grandma's..if it even comes close to that! We shall see! I will definately blog after Thanksgiving!
