Blood and Stuff!

Today I passed off my blood draws for school!

I've been practicing on fellow students at school for a few weeks now, and today I went to the Davis Hospital for the pass off.

I had to do 10 sucessful draws.. it was fun. I had a girl's arm start squirting blood into the air while I was drawing, kinda wierd, but other than that it all went pretty good and now I'm done!

So if anyone randomley wants their blood drawn, let me know... I'm certified:)

HaLLoWEeN!

2 Random bits about me..

1. I hate having my toenails painted.

I don't know if I'm just not used to it or what, but I see other girl's cute toenails, and decide to try it, and this is about as far as I get before I decide to take it off!
and in the rare event when the polish stays on.. I hate it every day until the paint starts peeling off, then it's ok! am I just wierd?

2. I make A"ward" winning pies.

We had a pie contest in our ward, and guess who won "best pie overall".. me! Wierd huh! who'da thunk that I could bake?! Here's the beauty right here.. it's called Possum Pie! Mmmmmm:)

We Moved!

At the beginning of October we finally moved into our new house!
It's so fun! here's a few pics.

I LOVE my BIG kitchen! oh what counter space can do...

He's the BEST!

My husband is the best! I was driving home from work one night talking to Brad on the phone and told him I was going to stop by the store and get some stuff for dinner.. he casually told me to just come home and we would figure something else out. I came home to this! He had cooked up some macaroni & cheese and some chicken nuggets.. with candles on the side! It was so dang cute! He was so proud, and we had a nice romantic dinner in the living room! I love my husband!

A little overdue

So obviously I have been slacking on our blog.. here's a little catch up!

Labor Day weekend we went camping up in the Uintahs with some friends!
It was FREEZING!!! but soo beautiful!

Here's some sexy shots of my hubby:

I snapped this one morning when his hair was just so irresistable! I couldn't stop laughing!

..and here he is wearing my hoodie becuase his got wet! Funny funny! My skinny little husband! I love you!

Here's Brad's first fish...

ain't he a looker?...(Brad too!)

MY FiRsT FisH!! I've never been real fishing before.. The first few days I wasn't so convinced- we fished for a few hours both days and caught nothing! The last day we decided to try a different lake and caught tons! I liked fishing a lot better after that! guess you just have to know where the fish like to live! I was so excited!

Hanging out with our friends the Barkers!
