Half way through November ALREADY

Oh goodness, it's been a long time!


This past weekend, Chris and I went down to Mesquite and stayed with his parents. While we were down there we had the Higley Thanksgiving dinner, it was very nice. We also launched rockets, it's a family tradition. I did it with them last year, too. I can't believe how FAST time has gone this past year. Chris has SUCH a nice family, I just love them all.

We also did the St. George Turkey Triathlon. We did it relay style, there was a girls team and a boys team. Chris and I were the bikers of our teams. Carly and Brian swam. Matt and Candi ran. Half way through the ride, my chain fell off....we all know how "handy" I am when it comes to that sort of stuff. I got off my bike and started panicking. I realized that I was going to have to figure this out on my own...so after a few minutes, some random chain movement, and really greasy hands (and maybe face, too) I figured it out and finished the ride. The boys beat us, as expected. I loved it. I just love races, especially with my lover. Oh, it was Chris's very first race, he did AMAZING. I am so proud of him!

2 DAYS UNTIL HARRY! Oh gosh, am I dying or WHAT?! We have tickets for the midnight showing...and then I have to work the next morning at 7AM. Worth it? Absolutely! Just a heads up to everyone - I might cry when the movie starts, don't judge me.

We're getting closer to the wedding. 70 days. We finally booked a videographer. It's the same company who shot Beth and Johnny's wedding, I didn't even know they used them when I booked our date, what a coincidence! Basically all we have to do now is 1) invitations 2) finish our centerpieces 3) book our hotel for the wedding night, we're thinking Little America (suggestions?). THAT'S ALL! AHH!

Chris is moving into our future home in less than a month! It's in Bluffdale, which is SOOO MUCH CLOSER than Provo. I can't WAIT to steer clear of Utah County (and it's traffic) for more than 24 hours at a time. Yesterday, we went to our new place and put up our Christmas tree. IT'S ADORABLE! Sadly, I don't have pictures yet, we spaced and forgot our cameras. Pictures will come SOON! All I listen to is Christmas music. Kozy 106.5 and FM 100 are officially presets on my radio. Chis is SO sweet, letting us put up our tree and constantly listening to Christmas music with me BEFORE Thanksgiving, that's real love.


A couple weeks ago we had a friend dinner. It was so fun to get all the friends together again like the old days. We had tacos and bundt cake (because it was Court J's birthday!). Then the girls went to the mall while the boys watched sports. Tender. Beth and Court are throwing me a bridal shower in 2 weeks, so I get to see all my friends again, I'm SO excited. They're so nice to do that for me.

Well, that's about it for now. The next time I write I will have seen Harry Potter at least 8 times...jk...maybe! Thanks for reading XO.
