Ten on Tuesday

1. I have been slacking on posting recently and I don't really have any good excuses.

2.I did make it to see Twilight a couple Saturdays ago. I was afraid no one would go with me so I bought a ticket for Dave and he agreed to sit through the movie with me. I don't think he expected a romance movie so he was a little bored, but I enjoyed watching it.

3. Spent the entire day last tuesday cleaning my house so that it was ready for thursday when everyone was coming over.

4. Thursday I cooked my first Turkey for thanksgiving dinner. All the directions I had said it would take about 3-4hrs for the size I had bought. It actually ended up taking 5 hrs so we ate dinner later then I had planned. I was happy that the turkey stayed moist.

5. Brad and Jolene, Daniel and Heather, and Brianna all came over for Thanksgiving. It was nice to have everyone bring a few of the dishes over so no one got overwhelmed with preparing the whole meal.

6. Went to see Australia thursday night with Brianna. I really enjoyed the movie.

7. Friday morning I went out with Jolene for a little black friday shopping. We didn't leave until 9 so luckily we missed all the crazy people. I was very happy to finally get some christmas shopping done.

8. Dave decided that we should get a Dane sized crate for Chief since he is quickly growing out of Barney's old kennel.

9. We also went and got our christmas tree at a lot in Idaho falls set up by the boy scouts. It smells so good!

10. spent the rest of weekend putting up the few decorations that I have. Merry Christmas!!!!

1. Everyone but Kerri tells me that I should be feeling better soon, but so far I have been following the same pattern as Kerri so I don't think I will be feeling better for a couple more months. Today like yesterday I just want to lay down and avoid all food.

2. Dave and I started some yard work saturday, but there were so many leaves we were both tired before we could finish.

3. Had lesson with Jolene on Millie. She was being a little difficult, mostly because she wanted to get back to the other horses.

4. Had one scary moment when Millie saw Jolene's little Chihuahua and tried to run her down and stomp on her. Luckily Millie actually stopped when I asked, I was afraid she wouldn't. Poor little pebbles spent the rest of the time in Dave's arms.

5.We got a new puppy saturday. See previous post. So far he has been pretty good just whines a little at night.

6. Went and saw Quantum of Solace Saturday night. Action packed bond movie!

7. Barney and Frodo were finally playing with Chief today. I was outside trying to rake the million of leaves in our yard so I didn't have my camera on me, but it was very cute!

8. Went to the Dentist today, it was a very good visit. I still really like this place I found here in Rexburg.

9.As I was trying to work on the leaves our neighbor came over and offer to take his lawn scraper over the yard for me. I was already feeling pretty bad so I was very thankful that he offered.

10. I am excited this weekend for twilight and 24. It has been way too long without any new 24 episodes.

Some people may think I am crazy!

So yesterday Dave bought us our chrismas present to each other.

Isn't he so cute! Dave didn't have to work very hard to convince me that I wanted this Blue Great Dane. Really the only thing that was holding me back was I was afraid what people would think if I got another dog. Sometimes I just have to remind myself it doesn't matter what others think. I've always talked about getting a Dane and this one came at a offer we just couldn't refuse!

He is 8 weeks old and loves this stuffed rabbit.
We named him Chief. Here he is playing with his brother Diesel who was adopted by Daniel and Heather.

1.Voted today. It was my first time ever going to a polling booth. In California I always voted absentee. It was also the smallest ballet I have voted on,since there were no props or measures on it. I guess I am just used to the California elections where there are always a ton of things to vote on.

2. I did find it strange that most of those people campaigning for office weren't even on the ballet. I guess the idea is you are suppose to write in their names if you don't like the candidate on the ballet. Much to complicated for me. Really if you want me to vote for you have your name put on the ballet, I am not going to remember who you are if you aren't a choice on my sheet!

3. Dave's mom came into town Wednesday to visit for the weekend. After work I joined everyone at Jesse's for some pizza.

4. Friday night the family went to the BYU I Halloween concert. I thought the best song preformed by the orchestra was Pirates of the Caribbean theme. I just think that the violins sound amazing in that song.

5. Saturday morning I final took Millie to the vet for a wellness exam and to get her vaccinated since she had no know history of vaccines. The Vet said she looked very healthy and I was surprised by how little it cost.

6. Afterwards we moved Millie and Sunny back over to Brad and Jolene's for the winter. Millie was very happy to be reunited with her favorite buddy(Native). they ran straight to each other and touched noses for a moment. I wish I had my camera on me it was so cute!

7. I then Joined Mom Griffith and Lousia on some errands around town. After lunch we all headed to Idaho Falls for a little shopping. Mom got pulled over while driving over to Idaho Falls, luckily the cop was nice enough to let her off with a warning.

8. We then went to Texas roadhouse for dinner, it was yummy. unfortunately though I got very sick that night so I think I'll pass on roadhouse for a while.

9.Had Jesse, Lousia and Miles over for Sunday dinner. We enjoyed watching Cars with Miles.

10. Sunday we had Stake conference with the north rexburg stake on BYUI campus. At that meeting they created a new stake and rearranged the boundaries of the Sugar city stake and North Rexburg Stake. We are now part of the new Rexburg Idaho Henry Fork Stake. It was pretty interesting, I have never been part of the creation of a new stake before.
