we'Re gRAtefuL foR...the chANges iN Life!

especially the change from this...

to THIS!!!!

yay! just in time for thanksgiving!

its ALmost time...

i know, i know, we're a bit early on the christmas theme... but I CAN'T WAIT!! i've held out long enough. and i'm sure i'll change it a few times before dec 25th. dave picked up our nativity this morning and i'm so excited!! it will be so hard for me to hold off decorating for at least another week or so.
there is a house down the street from us that is in FULL decoration. i mean...christmas literally threw up on this house. every time i drive by it, i'm disgusted, but moderately jealous...

quick shoutout

so i know that sometimes i gross even myself out with how gushy this blog gets...but i have to give a quick shoutout to dave. with all the prop 8 stuff, i didn't get to post these pictures before. on my birthday, he suprised me at work with cake and a hat and balloon. he even brought 27 candles and had everyone sing. then we went to my favorite restaurant in orange county and got sprinkles. it was the best. he really does never cease to amaze me.


then that weekend we had a party with the families. i had to post this picture because of jordy's face... i think maybe she was helping me with the candles...but this picture is fantastic.

one final shot... on election day, krispy kremes gave out free star shaped donuts...since we went to the temple (and thus were "just down the street"), i begged dave to take me. of course, they were out...but we got regular free ones anyway. and dave felt bad leaving without buying anything, so we ended up with a dozen...and some free hats. so, i had to have a picture. :) he said "well. that's going on the blog..." so here it is.

hAppy biRthdAy gRANdmA k!

so today is grandma k's birthday. and we just have to say happy birthday! we love you and are so glad to see you all the time lately. we hope you have some wonderful dinner. :)



while i'm here... thanks to all who helped and prayed and contributed and especially VOTED for proposition 8. i know that hard times are still ahead, but we have both had some faith trying moments and have been stretched. we have definitely grown and i know we can all learn a few things from this experience. :)

GO VOTE!!!

oh my goodness. it's finally here! go out and vote! let's get this over with so we can return to life as normal! i dare say we all won't even know what to talk about for a while! i'm just so excited to see the end of this mess...which ever way it may be.
come what may...we'll enjoy it. :)
