Finally Friday!

1. I had to work today. (Fridays are my normal days off.) It feels so weird. But I'm working what normal people work, so this shouldn't feel as strange, right? wrong.

2. I've started (mostly in my head) going through all of our stuff in preparation for moving in 6 months. (Overachiever much? Not really. I just know I'm going to be procrastinating for a looong time. Headstart vs procrastination = maybe I come out even) I'm kinda sentimental about some things. It's been really fun to read some of the old papers I've kept. (more on that later)


3. We will be in NY in one week! I am getting more and more excited about going home. (read about some of our plans here and here).

4. We have lots of plans for the weekend. BYU vs Baylor basketball (so excited!), Jazz scrimmage, dinner with lots of family, church (and we are in nursery this week!) then a Christmas party. I have lots to get done tonight - lots of goodies to make, presents to finish, things to wrap.

5. I convinced David to let me buy and Xbox/Kinect. It's our big Christmas present for each other (which we have been using since Black Friday). It's pretty awesome. My favorite game is Dance Central. Here is one of my favorite pictures this week. (He will hate me for putting this up, but it just makes me laugh so much)

Happy Friday!

Finally Friday.

1. My sister asked what my "unreasonable" wants for Christmas were.... A baby, a kitchen aid, a car without squeaky brakes (even though ours are new, they still squeak. ugh), and a vacation!  What are yours?
This is where I want to go right now:

no original source... anyone know?

2. There is a BIG test happening today. Please pray that the questions that are randomly chosen are not on the HARD HARD side. Hopefully they are middle ground - at least there is a shot that way. I'm nervous right now. I'm not even the one taking the test.

3. I've been crocheting up a storm at work in my down time making Christmas presents. And now everyone at work is starting their own crochet projects. It's like an epidemic here!
Also, how about this CROCHET wedding gown?!?

I also really like this rug.

4. We (I) finally put up our Christmas tree at work. Which is good because I don't think we are going to do one at home since we won't be here for Christmas. Basically it was a pre-lighted, pre-decorated tree that I just had to drag in from the storage unit outside and somehow put back together while it was all still tangled together. But I definitely felt in the Christmas spirit while hanging up all the ornaments that fell off. I also have tried to convince my office that it really is okay to sit with the lights off and the tree on. But no one believes me.
And I really like this no tree Christmas tree.

5. Lately I've been putting french fries on my burger! It is so so good. You should try it. That was random I know.

It's finally friday!

Hooray for Fridays!

Fridays are my day off.

Best.Thing.EVER

I didn't even write myself a to-do list for today. 

Plus David is back from Seattle and isn't going on a plane again without me! 

(we leave for NYC together in 34 days!)

Thanksgiving is only 6 days away and I am just feeling so grateful right now!

Grateful for David getting interviewed.

Grateful that they went well (or so we think)

He did get to stay in some pretty swanky places - like Hotel 1000 in Seattle.

Grateful I could spend time with his family while he was gone. 

Grateful he is home. 

It was bad enough without him for one night. Even more would be awful.

Happy Friday!
