Do you have the time?

We just bought this clock and hung it on our orange wall. I love it! It's huge and kind of old-world looking (it's a theme I'm going for). We splurged a bit but it looks awesome!

Festival of Trees

My sisters and I spent last Saturday morning at the festival of trees! I love going and they are only people who will come with me. For some reason, battling the crowds for two hours to look at Christmas trees doesn't sound like fun to some people...
We had a great time! All the trees are beautiful and the gingerbread houses are so creative!

Cute sisters!





My favorite gingerbread house... from Up!

BYU vs. Utah, Cougs win it in OT baby!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

"I promise that this will be the last time you’ll see me. I won’t come back. I won’t put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I’d never existed."
--Edward Cullen, New Moon



My mom, Ally and I saw New Moon opening weekend and it was SO good! I loved every minute of it. I've read all the books and although New Moon wasn't my favorite book, the movie lived up to all the hype. I found myself rooting for Jacob in this installment. (Edward had my vote in the first movie). I'm dying to see it again! Anyone want to go with me? ;)

BYU Football

Going to BYU football games is a long standing tradition in my family.
For as long as I can remember, we've made our way down to Provo several times during the football season. We eat at the same burger joint before the game (which is the best ever!) and then get to our seats to watch Cougar football.
On Saturday the tradition continued.
We went down to Provo to watch BYU take on Air Force. The day was perfect for watching football but at halftime the wind started to pick up. Luckily the weatherman was wrong and it did not snow. Ally and I kept warm most of the game with our hot chocolate BYU mugs but with a few minutes to spare in the 4th, we headed out.
It was a good game, the Cougs beat the Falcons 38-21.
Next week is the big one... Utah vs BYU and you can bet we'll be there mugs and all.

First Snowfall

Saturday morning I woke up to snow! My little tree in the backyard has nearly lost all its' leaves, except for a few clinging to the branches. I'm not ready for a ton of snow but a few snowflakes are perfect.

Movin' On Up

The day finally came that we moved out of our one bedroom, 700 sq. foot apartment. I'll admit I was a bit sad. We had lived in that place the longest and had so many memories... buying tamales from the lady selling them door-to-door, being awaken by the neighbor's music, and by the lady upstairs who could only play one church hymn (and not very well). In all seriousness, there are some things I miss about living in an apartment, but I LOVE owning a house more. So, it's official. We've moved on up and are the proud owners of a very cute townhouse.
