Well, It Has Been A Whirlwind

Let's just say this past month (yes, it's been a month exactly since I've last posted) has been busy. Wait a minute! That's not giving it justice. This month has been busier than any month we've had so far, including the wedding!!! A lot has happened over these past 30ish days, so let's do a little catch up:

Well.....

1. Wall Brethren Chruch had their fall festival. I made 6 loaves of homemade bread and decorated them really cute (pictures will come later; I promise!)

2. Deer Season started, and with deer season came "dearless" season. I have to say goodbye to my dear about...oh 4-5 times a week:) fantastic!

3. On the subject of deer season, Brian and my dad, Brian...yeah, I know..that's confusing. Try living with both of them!! So Brian and Brian (husband and father) went to Turkey, Texas to hunt mule deer, and sure enough - they got one! Yay! It was huge!! If anyone is in desperate need of mule deer meat, let us know!


4. Thanksgiving rolled around, and we had our first go at trying to make all families happy by attending 2 Thanksgiving dinners in one (I repeat, one) day! All went well, except for the fact that I lost a big rhinestone off of the heels I was wearing.

5. Black Friday. Period.

6. I love to wrap presents; thus, I have bought and wrapped all the presents I have to wrap, and they are under our cute little Christmas tree. Here's a picture of it before I finished the presents:


7. Well, I guess we've made our way to finals week. Not much I can say about that week except that it was a very hard, stress-filled week, and we had several messes around the house that did NOT, i repeat did NOT, get cleaned up (don't you judge us! finals are hard). We both had our hard final on Wednesday; mine was at 7:45 am, and Brian's was at 10:30 am. Needless to say, I called him crying right before he walked into his exam because MINE was so hard - it was a tough week. We did make time to drink hot chocolate and a latte in front of the TV for about, ohh....1.3 hours. Overall, we did pretty good. We both made all As and maintained our 4.0s!
Well, I guess I did have a lot to say about that.
#7 explains why it has been a month since I last posted.

8. Brian left this morning to go fishing on the coast with his dad and uncles. He will have a good time; I will be miserable. Something is not right here. Oh well!

and 9. We are so excited to start our first Christmas traditions. I am currently in the process of making felt ornaments for our tree. Our house looks like Santa's workshop, and Brian has put up 2 sets of house lights...and counting. It's going to be a good Christmas, but we're ready for 2011. We're ready for a new year.

oh and one more. 10. Remi has learned a lot of tricks; he's one cute dog! He's in the process of learning to balance the treat on his nose until Brian says he can eat it! He's doing such a good job; we are such proud parents:)

ok I promise this is the last one. 11. Happy 4 month anniversary, hunny! I love you!

From our family to yours,
