Thanksgiving in Reno!

First time in Reno, it was fun to hang out with our best buds Kristin and Brandon! Kristin was my roommate in college and after we both got married and graduated from school we never thought we'd see each other again, luckily we've ended up only a few hours away from them!
We went on a thanksgiving day walk, check out Kristin's cute baby bump!
We are ready to chow down, there was no talking for like 15min. because we were enjoying our food so much!

Thanks Kristin and Brandon for letting us come be with you on thanksgiving! We all missed our families but it was still a lot of fun being together as friends!

Slumber party with my best girlfriends!

So twilight didn't work out and that was so disappointing but I was still excited because my bff's from college came last minute to hang out with me. Jane (the one in the middle) just got back from her mission in Argentina! It was fun to catch up with her and of course my other bff Bobbie! We went to dinner and talked until at least 3am, it was your typical sleepover (sorry Josh)
And of course I wrote on a cake from my bakery and gave it to Jane as a homecoming gift!

Twilight

I am not even going to try and pretend like I don't want to see this movie! I hope it's good... it will be... it better be! My good friend Bethany and I are even going really early to save seats; you know we can't let all the teenagers take the good seats:)

Going back to school!

I am going back to school in January but first before I register for classes I have to take a math placement test, Yuke! I am terrible at math which is probably why they are making me take it. Anyway I would appreciate any positive thoughts, energy,vibes, and/or prayers that could be directed in my direction! Did I mention the last time I took a math class was like five years ago, my first year at college and I hadn't planned on moving away, trying to transfer my credits, and having the classes not transfer! It's cool, I'm sure it will be fine. Anyway,I thought this picture was kind of funny!

Ginko trees in the fall

Back at home in Washington my family has a ginko tree in the front yard and it is my mom's favorite! The leaves are really beautiful and the ginko species of tree has been around since prehistoric days. Anyways while walking to work I noticed that here in Burlingame there are quite a bit of ginko trees. So I thought I would upload some pictures of the pretty leaves and fruit that this tree is shedding right now. Back at home we have a "male" tree meaning that it doesn't give off any fruit. So here you go mom, now you can see what the ginko fruit looks like. It smells really bad! But the leaves are really beautiful right now!

Nursery moments

This is the nursery class out for a walk. All the nursery teachers cherish these walks because it burns about 10min. and all the kids seem to like it and no body usually cries!
Here we are during our playing time, aren't they so cute!
I love these kids, it was a good day today, maybe because there were only 11 kids instead of 16 (3 children are not pictured)
No one really likes reading time, they just like to fight for a lap to sit on! Sorry to any mom who doesn't appreciate me blogging about her child! I can't help it they are a big part of my life:)

Barack Obama Lied! (says Conan)

This is so funny I almost couldn't stop laughing! Conan would make a good running mate!

I voted!

Everyone get out and Vote!! I have never felt this way about any kind of election and I am thankful for the opportunity that I have to vote. I am also thankful that I can help out today and volunteer for prop. 8! My stomach is in knots about everything but I feel like I have become a better person and a better member of my church because of my involvement with this issue. Whether it passes or not at least I can say I tried!

It's Josh's Birthday!

This is my big birthday boy with all of his presents (we aren't very patient in this family so pretty much as soon as you wake up on your birthday presents are fair game:) We are going out to dinner tonight and maybe go kart racing? Oh yeah, and of course as tradition stands Josh gets his birthday strawberry chessecake! I love you Josh happy birthday! I can't tell you how old Josh is because he hates knowing he's in his mid twenties! So there's a hint:)

Halloween

Josh and I were where's waldo for halloween. I hope everyone had fun!
