Sickness, Pumpkin Carvings and the Ronald McDonald House.

Hello all!

It has been a while.  I would like to tell you about my exciting Glee moment.  Every now and then Glee will post on Facebook about a midnight screening of the coming up episode.  The first 150 people who email a certain email gets to go.  I got in!  It was the Rocky Horror Picture Show episode so it was a big deal (to everyone else but seeing as how I never saw that movie I was just excited about the Glee part).  But to make a long story short, the day we were supposed to go Spencer and I both got colds.  OH WELL!  Costumes were encouraged and I had NO idea what to do with that anyways.  It was fun to watch it when it aired in my regular clothes. haha

So Spence and I spent the weekend watching movies and drinking Nyquil (the recommended amount of course) :).  Monday we felt better and got to go to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin with some friends. But we ended up getting them at a grocery store because they were too expensive ($25 too expensive).  Here are some pictures of the gang and the finished pumpkins!

Spencer's is on the far left and mine is of course the TEXAS RANGER "T"!!

Joe Bou took this lovely picture.

 Spence and I with our pumpkins!!

I started volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House and I looove it!  It is such a great environment and everyone is so nice.  It is great to hear the parents talk about how blessed they are to have the RMH and I get to be a part in making it possible and that is a great feeling.  I go Tuesday's and Friday's noon-4.  It is a great experience.

Spencer's Dad is coming Nov 1st!!

His Mom, Chad and Carla are coming Dec 23 for Christmas!!

And in about 60 days we get to come to Texas for a week to celebrate Christmas and Audrey's wedding!  YAAAAAYYYY!!  Can't wait to see everyone...and Lucy!!

Love and miss everyone!  :)

Lucy Girl

Well, not too many exciting things to report from this past week.  I do have an interview to volunteer at Ronald McDonald House tomorrow.  :)  Yesterday Spence and I went to see Life As We Know It...so cute, go see it.

One thing I really miss is having a dog...especially my three crazy dogs back in Texas.  Lucy is my puppy specifically and I was looking through the pictures on my phone the other day and found all these pictures of her sleeping in some funny, unusual positions.  I thought I would share.  :)  ENJOY! (Just a warning, there is a lot :)

She woke up and caught me 

Sleeping with her mouth open: 

Side 1: 

Side 2: 

I found these too, just thought they were cute enough to share :)

Her first car ride, this is when we picked her up 

 Guess she wanted to go shopping

 I was looking for her to put in her bed before I went to 

school one day and this is where I found her.  Guess she didn't 

want me to go.

 Her snuggie (It's actuall my Mom's, she is in the arm...she did this all by herself!)

 In her winter sweater 

She either sits when she eats...

Or squats.

   Just chillin.

 They were waiting for us to put the dirty dishes in so they could

"help clean".

Miss my Lucy girl! 

Love and miss you all!

Sunday with Spencer and Nate

Sunday was a great day!  It started of going to Reseda Church of Christ with Spencer and Nate.  It was great to meet some fellow CoCer's in Cali!  It was a very welcoming congregation.  We enjoyed it.  Then we came back home and after a failed attempt of making fried chicken we ate Little Caesar's.   Then Nate left and Spence and I took a tiny Sunday nap, got the jeep cleaned (much needed), and went to the grocery store.  We actually made a meal list and only shopped for those specific items!  No store for me until next Saturday!  (hopefully).

THEN we met back up with Nate for a bike ride in the park.

Attempt #1 for taking a picture after the bike ride...

Nate blinked and you can't see the bikes!

Attempt #2 We were having a hard time with the timer.

Attempt # 3 Third times a charm!  :)

NOW to get the bikes BACK in the car.

Bike #1

Bike #2

Bike #3

And we have SUCCESS!

Then we came home ate dinner and watched Extreme Home Makeover and Desperate Housewives.  The boys were sweet and did the dishes.  :)

Not sure bout this one. lol

I also got to Skype with my family!

Great day!!  

Love and miss you all!
