Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know it's a few days late for that, but I hae finally found a computer and a few minutes to do a post! Yay! This week has been awesome! I had school Tuesday where we got a HUGE blizzard with lots and lots of snow, and pretty much every place in town closed down. I was hoping my work would close down, and they almost did, but decided to stay open, so that meant everyone wanted to come there since everywhere else, including the MALL, was closed! But it wasn't too bad and I haven't had any issues yet with my car sliding off the road or getting stuck in a pile of snow, so I would say this blizzard has been successful! :) Because of all the snow that we got, it made it a little difficult to be able to get in and out of Chris's driveway. He lives out in the country with a long private driveway. So I stayed that night so I would definitely be able to spend Thanksgiving with him and his family. Thanksgiving Day was great! I got to sleep in, but did get woken up by the whole family coming into my room and making sure I woke up. Haha they are great. We got ready and headed up to Rigby to his grandmas house where we watched football, ate a TON of food, and then laid on the floor the rest of the night cause we were so full! I met lots of cousins and had a great time getting to know more of his family. All the guy cousins wanted to do their monthly guys night where they sit around playing video games, making fun of each other, and whatever else guys like to do when they get together, so I went home and was able to watch a little bit of "Friends" and get to bed early. It was a little sad to not be able to be with my own family, but Chris's family made me feel at home and was all so kind to me.

The next day we went to his other grandma's house in Blackfoot where I met MORE cousins, and uncles, and aunts. They are all so fun and welcoming, I just fit in so well. So that was my Thanksgiving, and I know I am VERY LATE! I am sorry! :)

Loving Life

So I am sure you all know that my life right now is filled up with school, work, friends, church, sleeping, eating, and CHRIS. :) They take up ALL my time and keep me very busy. I hope you guys aren't bored yet whenI talk about Chris, but I just wanted to share with you all how GREAT he is! Seriously, he makes me so happy and is always doing things for me. There are many many times where it feels like it's just too good to be true. :) He isn't scared to show his affection for me in front of other people, he is a gentleman and very respectful. He doesn't cease to surprise me, make me feel special, and like him more and more each day. Just a few things he did for me this week was Tuesday, he showed up at my work and surprised me with a Jamba Juice, Wednesday, he rented Toy Story 3 for us to watch cause he remembered me telling him weeks ago that I wanted to see it. Then last night was so much fun....I have to build you up to it though with telling you that before he and I started dating, whenever he would show up to FHE or Sacrament or anything that my ward was doing, ALL the girls flocked to him. He was always surrounded by all the girls. I was never part of that group. I was always on the outskirts doing my own thing. Even though I liked him and wanted to get to know him better, I never tried to get through all those girls. I decided that he would have to make his way to me if anything was ever going to happen. I would say hello and chat with him for a little bit when he came, but then would move on quickly. He has this old Mustang, I want to say it's a '65, but not quite sure, that he would bring to show off.(It looks just like this)

He would take all the girls for rides in it, yet I never got to ride in it. :) So, ever since we started dating, his parents always asked him when he was going to take me out in it, and he always says that it's gotten too cold and wants to keep it in the shop for the winter, so I would have to wait till NEXT SUMMER ! Anyway, yesterday he called and told me he was going to pick me up at 6pm for whatever we were gonna do that night, and I walk outside, and he pulls up in the car! I was so excited! We drove around town for a bit, having lots of people take double takes. But, that car was sweet and we looked pretty dang good in it! :) Anywho, it was an awesome surprise, chris is the best, and I will stop talking now so you guys don't get tired of me going on and on....haha I also gotta get to work. TGIF!

Things I am kind of obsessed with right now...

Okay people, the weather is changing, the leaves are falling, I am pulling out my boots, and I am so happy that I don't even care that it's gonna start snowing soon....what's wrong with me??! haha maybe it's because life is WONDERFUL and I couldn't ask for anything more than what I have right now. :) Awwww okay enough with the mushy stuff....Life is happening and it's happening fast so I wanted to take a second to put down things that I am kind of obsessed with right now. Things that make me smile. Things that get me out of bed everyday. :) (p.s. list is not in any specific order haha)

*Walking to Great Harvest on my break at school to get a hot chocolate and a free slice of pumpkin chocolate chip bread (seriously people, it's kind of getting out of control. I might need someone to restrain me each day!)

*4 wheeler rides with Chris

*Dairy Queen blizzard runs with Chris

*Movie night with Chris

*okay, pretty much ANYTHING I do with Chris :)

*Cinnamon scented candles

*Watching Friends (that NEVER gets old!)

*Everything that I am learning in school (it's so awesome!)

*Knowing that I have Midnight premiere tickets for HARRY POTTER and getting Chris to commit to going with me! I am gonna owe him big time! haha

*Brownies (I make them WAY too much! Good thing I like to bake them and then share them with my friends, cause that would be very bad for me! FYI: brownies and milk is gonna be mine and chris's snack during our movie tonight)

*RASCAL FLATTS NEW SONG!!! You have no idea how stoked I am that they have a new song! Maybe I WILL get to go to one of their concerts! It's on my list! :)

*My amazing mom who does so much for me. I wish there was a way for me to be able to repay her for everything she has done.

*Reading my sister's blog. It makes me smile so much! Even though I am so far away from my family, I love being able to know what's going on with them and watching cute little Ryder get so big!

That's all I can think of right now....if I think of more I will add them. Hope life is great for all of you and I will be back on very soon! :) Happy November!
