Monday Nights

Well Monday night football has taken over our house. Mostly in part because I have a new found addiction to hot wings. Yep that's right, the girl who hates spicy stuff loves hot wings. I blame it on the fact that Buffalo Wild Wings open and the last time I was supposed to go there with friends the wait was an hour and forty-five minutes. So we didn't go, and I've found that I like the homemade ones just as much. So Monday night Garrett and I can be found at home watching football (sometimes I do crafts like hand sewing stuff or knitting eating my new favorite meal...

(Yesterday we tried half of the wings with Honey BBQ )

Well it's only Tuesday and this week already seems like it is going to be crazy!

Tuesday- Garrett's soccer game

Wednesday- my work Christmas Breakfast in the morning and Temple lights at night

Thursday- Shopping/Dinner with the Girls

Friday- Date night and we are watching Garrett's parents dogs (not sure yet if we want to stay there or bring them to our house)

Saturday - Ward Christmas Breakfast (I must say I love our ward. So many people I grew up with, and the fact that we bought our house makes this ward feel more permanent.

and then it starts all over again.

Crafts!!!

Okay so I have a lot to post from my weekend get away... but I haven't had any time to upload any pictures... My new favorite thing right now though is making fabric bows. While I was in LA, Jodi, Rebecca, and I made some bow holders for their girls. One of the bows they had was a fabric one and I really wanted to figure out how to make them. Turns out its super easy and hardly takes any fabric at all.

Between picking the fabric, the size of the flower, the number of petals (rotating the fabrics of the petals), layering the flowers, and the button in the middle... the possibilities are endless...

the best part is these bows can be used for almost anything... In your hair of course, on a purse, added to a picture frame in a group of 3 for added decoration, sewn on a pillow... or anything you can come up with.

December!!!

Oh my goodness it is already December! 2010 is almost gone. I am so excited to have our first Christmas in our home. I can't wait to put up Christmas lights. Garrett doesn't seem to have very many traditions but I've slowly been converting him to all of mine :) one of my favorites is the advent calenders :)

I mean who doesn't like getting at least one piece of chocolate a day for 24 days straight? Okay so I've never actual been able to hold out and I would cheat and eat more than one at least once... This year however I am determined to not cheat :) and I've got Garrett to help me.

So I am super excited for this weekend to get here (yes I know its only Wednesday) but I've been excited since Sunday :) I found plane tickets for $30 and couldn't pass it up. I fly to LA on Friday night, Spending Saturday at Disneyland, and then Sunday and Monday with my cousins in LA. It's going to be hard to leave my puppy Buster for the first time since we got him but I get to meet...

(Sorry Rebecca if you're reading this I stole your pic it's just so cute!)

I also cant wait to see Rebecca and Jaime's new home, Jodi and her two adorable kids, and any other family that I have time to visit with. It's always hard on short trips but it will be nice to get away for a weekend.
