Thanksgiving Morning

Thanksgiving morning was beautiful. It had just rained and the view was georgous. I quickly grabbed my camera and took some photos of the dew drops on the leaves. I love the smell of rain after a rainshower. The world is wonderful and fresh.

Thanksgiving was wonderful, as I spent it with my sister and her family. The kids were a joy to be around and the three dogs. My sister did a wonderful job on dinner and the turkey was perfect. I was greatful to spend my day with my sister and her family. Thank You, Tammi and Ken.

Twilight Movie

First off the Movie "Twilight" was great. My expectations were high and the move didn't quite reach those expectations. I do realize that there wasn't a lot of money to put into this first film and hope that in the next books the quality of the book will be more evident in the move. I still loved the move and had the same feeling at the end of the move like I did at the end of the books. Since I own all the books, I must purchase the movie as well. I can't wait to see it again. My roommate Emily and I both dressed up for the movie. Emily was the rogue vampire "Victoria" and I was "Alice". I dressed up for work because our tickets for the movie was right at 5pm. I left work early to make the movie on time. I had a blast!. After the movie, a few of the group who saw the movie went out to eat. Boy the stir that Emily caused, everyone noticed her and she was soking up all the attention.

Getting ready for Twilight

Tonight I spent a few hours shopping for the rest of my custom.
Tomorrow I am going to dress up as Alice from Twilight for the movie.
I am such a twlight nerd- its crazy. I love those books. I also made some silk screen t-shirts with the new Yudu from Provo Craft. I made twilight t-shirt for everyone to wear to the movie.

The effects of dying your Hair

Here is the end result of Dying our Hair! I can't decide if I like myself in brown hair or not. Emily is now a strawberry blond and me a brunette. YAHOO for the Twlight movie.

Getting Ready for Twilight

Tonight we are dying our hair to get ready for Twilight. Emily and I are dressing up as Alice (me) and Victoria (Emily). Friday night is the big opening and I can hardly wait to see this movie. I am little worried about the movie itself. But I am a die Hard van of the books so I plan on buying the DVD when it comes out. Check out our before before and after picture.

Before:

Catching Up

There are a few events that I need to catch everyone up on.
Deer Hunting this year was an event. I took both dogs with me and they had a ball playing with Smokey. The dogs ran around the farm house and played in the weeds to their hearts content. The family had fun roasting marshmallows around the campfire. The kids played and played and collected tons of bones. The women went for a walk down the dirt road, we walked 3 miles right before the sunset- it was really pretty. One funny story, when we the girls headed off to go on our walk the dogs followed us to the cattle guard. Ella and Smokey both stopped at the cattle guard but no not Eddie, he took a running jump and sailed over half of the cattle guard. He landed on the metal parts then moved his feet and his legs sank through the cattle guard. It was so funny. Eddie got he strength to jump the rest of the way to the ground and he looked so proud of him self that he had made it across the cattle guard. Tammi picked him up and put him back with the other dogs. The day of the deer hunt was a lot of fun. Kisti and I went hunting with Dad, he had us push some trees so to try to scare up some deer. We ended up scaring out a deer that JB shot. He was a nice 4 X 4 with a 26 inch spread. The horns set back slimier to elk horns. The horns are really pretty, JB is going to mount them. They will look great on his wall. Later I found out that Dad got his deer on the last day of the hunt. It was really relaxing being down on the farm. I had a ton of fun hanging with the family.

Halloween:
This year for Halloween I chose not to dress up the dogs. Ya I know I really should have but I didn't have the money. We had our annual family Halloween party and I dressed up as a flower child girl, Emily helped me put flower in my wig. I looked great. For the actual Halloween day, I dressed up as a Greek goddess for work. I had a ball in that costume- I even had a dagger. The evening was spent playing games with friends at the house. Then the next night I got to dress up as a Make up girl for a host a murder party. This was the best Halloween ever. I was able to dress up in three different costumes. I plan to dress up for Twilight here in a week. That will be so much fun. I enjoy dressing up in different costumes.

New Friends at the Office

I have a new friend at work. Her name is Halen and she is new to the company. I love spending time with her and appreicate all the help she give me at work.- Halen I think your wonderful!

Singing like a Pro

Applebee's here in Orem has a Karaoke on Tuesday nights. I've started going with a group of friends. They decided to have an Applebee's Idol and somehow I got signed up for the contest. The first week I sang "When you say nothing at all" and I had a group of friends come to vote for me. I made it to the 2nd round, which was last Tuesday night. I sang the song "I will Survive" and did an OK job at it. Even though I did a good job I didn't have very many friends to vote me, so I didn't make it. I still had a great time and I loved wearing my pink hat. Charise came and gave me hints on prepping my voice before I sang my song.
