We had Peter's family over for dinner and it was so fun! I was excited to finally put all the leaves in our table. Becky and I did all the cooking and everything was so delish. After dinner Spencer and Lisa came over and we played games and hung out while all the cousins ran around, it was a loud night! I made the napkin holders and the mint boxes (left over from Alexa's wedding) which was a nice touch to the table. It was an all around success for hosting my first Thanksgiving! Who ever thought you could cook for such a long amount of time!

We bought a HOUSE! and update


It wasn't as dramatically romantic as this, but pretty darn close! We love our new home and all the wonderful things about being homeowners. A few things I have learned since moving in...
1. Try to avoid moving in the middle of a 16 upper division credits semester--This equals stress and skimping on homework.
2. If Peter and I ever build a house together, we might kill each other before its finished. Holy Cow that boy has opinions in where usually the wife takes control. i.e. DECORATING. We have totally opposing styles and tastes. It took us 3 weeks to find a dinning table and chairs that we both liked. I still love him.
3. Peter is actually good at fixing things. I had no idea because we never really had to fix things around our apartment and I always fix technical things with the computers.
4. It takes exactly 30 mins from my house to the Benson Building for church. Sundays I now feel like I am driving alot, especially on Break the Fast Sundays.
5. Don't go over 30mph on the road to our house. YOU WILL GET A TICKET.
6. I love being home, just because its all ours!
7. I absolutely LOVE my office! Can't wait to paint it.
8. We have an extra spare bedroom for any welcome guests!

Anyways we have been super busy and loving every minute of it, (even when we are disagreeing on barstools and curtains)

New things with us:
Our good friend Bret moved in with us while he prepares for a mission, both of us try to claim him as a little brother. Peter now has a live in buddy that will go play basketball and snowboard with him whenever he wants... I have a feeling I will be seeing him a little less this winter. And Lastly we head to California soon for my favorite sisters wedding!
