I Can Move Mountains

Mountains of laundry that is. Yesterday I had a TON of laundry to do. Usually I try to spread it out, but it all needed to be washed in one day. Luckily my grandma was so kind and let me use her dryer to dry a couple of loads and that made things go a little faster. My washer and dryer was going ALL day.
Over the weekend we went to Boise so I could go to Twilight with my friend Jenn, it was awesome I loved it!! I thought the Cullens were prefect, they were just like I imagined them. OK, did anyone else see Stephenie Meyer in the Cafe scene or am I going crazy? Did you see the movie?? What did you think?? Nate and the boys went to Tyler and Jenn's to let the kids play. We stayed the night with them (Thanks so much you guys!!) On Saturday we went to the mall to tackle some Christmas shopping. Then a much needed trip to Costco. Nate wasn't going to miss the BYU game(I bet now he wished he had.) so we went to his brothers house for a football party. Then we headed home so we could go to church the next day. It was a fun weekend, now I can't wait to take Nate to Twilight. hehehe ;o)

I am thankful for:

Friday:

1. Safe travel.
2. Girls night out.
3. Good friends.

Saturday:

1. A decent mall, Yay! I got a little bit of Christmas shopping done.
2. A football party with Cob and Natalie, the kids had a blast!
3. Kids who slept in the car on the way home.

Sunday:

1. A Crockpot, dinner is done when you arrive home from church, starving.
2. My mom who made me this awesome purse. SO CUTE!!
3. Pudding Brownie at mom's YUMMY!



Monday:

1. A washer and dryer in my house. I remember the day, about the first 3 years of our married life when we had to use the apartment complex laundry facility. I would save up the laundry then stack basket upon basket in the stroller and try to carefully push it down the sidewalk without tipping it over, all while carrying Braiden on one hip.
2. My Grandma who treated me to lunch (in between loads of laundry) and for helping me dry my clothes.
3. The school bus, makes my life a lot easier.

Tuesday:

1. That Braiden brought home a nearly perfect report card.
2. That we finally got the exterior colors of our house picked out. WOW that was a tricky one! I am so nervous, hope we like it.
3. Paul and Karla who offered their expert opinion with the color picking. And for letting us hang out with you all the time. We love you guys!

I want you all to know that because I told you about our Boise trip I am going to get raked over the coals by my brother, who we failed to visit while we were there. Sorry Casey, love ya, you too Kristy.
