Witches Night Out

This past year we had the coolest family move in next door to my parents...I have loved getting to know them and they already feel like family. Anywhoooooo the ladies (Colleen, Jessica, & Kelli) invited my mom and I to go to the Witch Fest at Gardener Village. I had never been and I had a total blast. We dressed as witches and I bedazzled a witch hat to wear. It was so fun shopping and seeing all the people dressed up! I love you Hansen girls thanks for inviting me along!

Here was my witch outfit!

I added all this to my plain black witch hat and I thought it was cute.

Here I am with Colleen.

Kelli, Colleen, me, and Jessica!

Fall Drive

A few weeks ago we decided to take some time off from working in the house (we had been working all day and kind of look gross in our grubbies!) and take a drive in the mountains to see all the leaves before the snow. It ended up being the perfect day. I have a total love hate relationship with the fall... I LOVE the colors and the fact that I can wear sweaters and boots...but I HATE that it it the gateway to winter! Maybe these pictures will help me stay on the love side!

(All the other pictures are the actual colors but I played with these for fun!)

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!!

Ok now it's time for catch up! A few Saturday's ago Robert and I set out on a mission to find a table. First we stopped to get the breakfast of champions....don't judge me I needed the caramel apple spice and the coffee cake....(I know the calories are high but some days I have to indulge!)

The first store we stopped at was Ashley Furniture. We fell in love with a beautiful cafe height table that was on special for the day. Of course being savvy shoppers we said we needed time to think about it and see other options before we made up our minds. Are quest continued with stops at furniture row, furniture warehouse, and RC Wiley....oh and a quick stop at Home Goods for unrelated reasons, where my wonderful husband got me a mirror! After seeing what the other stores had to offer we knew we needed to go back to Ashley and get our table. We were able to pick the table up a few days later and we love it. (Plus we love not eating on the floor....although I claim it was very Asian Zen of us! )

Sorry the pictures are not great they are from my i-touch.

Cruising ~ Day 8 & 9 At Sea

So the last two days of the cruise were just ok. We were getting a little burned out of life on the ship and were not really looking forward to going back to real life. On day 8 they had the second formal night. We skipped dinner and went to some comedy shows instead but we did dress up. We didn't take any pictures except for the towel creations on the last day, but we had a nice day we went and got a great couples massage and it was a fun way to end our cruise. Then next morning we got back to California the next morning and decided to drive the whole way home....(after stopping for some Samurai 21 in St. George.)

That concludes the honeymoon pictures and soon I will get you up to speed on the past month!

Cruising~ Day 7 Cabo & Our Buddy Paco

When we first decided to sign up for shore excursions we really wanted to go para sailing and we were really bummed that it was all booked up. We put our name on a waiting list for the para sailing and signed up for a horseback adventure instead, So when we got our tickets for para sailing the day before we go to Cabo we were thrilled. We dumped the horse ride and headed off the boat to Cabo. We had a lot of time to kill before the para sailing so we thought we would get off the boat and explore at little. Cabo is such a resort town and it was really hot! We walked around town, saw Senior Frogs, and I got myself a cute cowgirl hat. As we were walking around we were hounded by a ton of people offering wave runners, snorkeling, water taxis, and glass bottom boat rides. After a bit of time out in the hot sun we decided that we needed to do something in the water. In comes our buddy Paco he was our entertainment agent for the afternoon. He hooked us up with a wave runner and a water taxi to the beach. We had so much fun on the wave runner exploring the Sea of Cortez. After we had our hour on the water we went para sailing and it was AWESOME. Robert and I got to go in the air together and it was so peaceful and fun! We had a great view of the famous arch and the Lands End. I would highly recommend para sailing it really isn't scary at all! After para sailing we met up with Paco again an he hooked us up with a glass bottom boat. We got to see the marina gas station haha, Lovers Beach, The Arch, A bunch a pelicans, Sea Lions, Lands End and we even went over to the Pacific side and saw what our driver called divorce beach. It was a really fun day that ended with a really bad sunburn!

Cruising~Day 6 Puerta Vallarta~Sailing the Bay of Flags

It's hard to say what my favorite day on this cruise was, but I think if Robert didn't get sick this day then this would be my favorite day! After our day in Manzanillo and watching a really cool storm that night out on the ocean...(we only got a few raindrops on the boat) we pulled into Puerta Vallarta. Stu was absolutely right when he said it was a beautiful day! It really was a wonderful day. We planned a sail and snorkel trip this day and it was soooooo much fun! I basically need a yacht now! I really wish we had more time in Puerta Vallerta because we really didn't get a chance to explore at all but it was honestly so beautiful and I would love to go back. We got off our boat and were sent over to our yacht for the day with our new friends Jhonny and Jairo. The great thing about this boat trip was that there were only a few other people on the boat with us. There were 3 guys on the boat from Utah so Robert got to talk about football which I'm sure he enjoyed! We sailed across all of Bandaras Bay (the bay of flags) Then on the other side of the bay we got to jump in the water and snorkel. There was a pirate ship in the same area as us when we were snorkeling and it was pretty cool! Poor Robert got sick on our way back across the bay other wise it would have been the perfect day!

That's our cruise ship that we sailed past.

I'm planning on living in that yellow house someday!

This is where we jumped in and snorkeled!

I really liked the pirate ship!

Don't worry about Robert being sick! He felt well enough to molest our bunny that night! :)
