At Last....

I have finally conquered the battle against the computer not letting me download our family photos. So here we are.... Courtesy of Amber Rust, Two Color Photography.

Matt's Fave... of course. haha.

I hope they call me on a mission...

Taylor was finally able to open his mission call last night. He was called to serve the.....

Long Beach, CA -Spanish Speaking- Mission and he leaves January 10th.

Congrats Tay! We are so excited for you!!

Ponderings...

Thoughts currently occupying my brain:

1. Why can't it stay Fall/Winter weather -with no snow- forever?
2. How early is "too early" for me to decide to go back to bed? -Wish I was there now!
3. It would be so fab if I could win the lottery right now. Go ahead universe, make my day! Free Cheeseburgers and hot shoes for all!
4. Why can't I get our new family photos on here? They are so cute and I want to show them off
5. How can I plot to take the hubbs with me for the rest of our Christmas shopping and avoid him wandering off in the toy department?? (Love you dearly, hubbs!)
6. Would I make it to the ark if the world was about to explode? -And did anyone else see 2012?
7. Is Christmas over yet?? Working 6 days a week has severely increased my caffeine intake.
8. Is it Christmas yet?? (I'm so good at contradicting myself, huh?) I'm excited to give everyone the presents that are already wrapped and stashed in my closet!!
9. I am hoping Matt gets some time off so we can visit the Arizona clan... We miss you guys!
And Finally....
10. Where is Taylor going to be called to serve?! We find out tomorrow!
I think that's all for now... Stay tuned friends!

I Love My Leatherneck

Has anyone seen this new commercial? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9lkmd-mMJ0
Man, did it choke me up.
I just wanted to take a quick second to tell my hubby how proud I am of him to be his wife. I love you Corporal Phillips!

I know I am a few days late posting in time, but working two jobs and all the back and forth is really kicking my butt this week. Plus, Matt buzzed his hair in honor of Veterans Day, and I was hoping to get a picture of his devilishy handsome self. But that has yet to happen so I'll put this up without it. Hope you all had a great Veterans Day!

Halloween

Okay so I know I'm a little behind, but better late than never right? For Halloween this year we had a few friends over for some games, Psycho, and of course, yummy food! Here are a few random pictures :) Mostly this post is for Lisa, since she is being a party-pooper in China right now and wasn't able to come. So if these pics are random to the rest of you, I'm sorry. haha. Miss you Lisa!

Brady is the king of creepy faces. haha

Brady taking pictures of himself......

Maggie and I

Me wearing Brady's glasses. Wow my face looks weird! haha. That is rad.

Taylor is pretty good at looking creepy too! haha

And lastly... black roses in memory of Lisa's hilarious presence. haha -how morbid and appropriate for Halloween. We miss you Lisa!

PS - we have decided on a solution for the Man Cave... that, plus updated family pics are coming soon! So check back!
