Witches' Night Out!

Nina took me and Kylee to Gardner's Village to this Witches' Night Out thing.  We didn't really know much about it but Nina and Kylee were going all out for it.  They were trying to decide what to wear, if we should paint our faces or not, and they insisted to make hats for this thing.  I said I will make a hat but I'm not dressing up.  That's really not my thing!  I did wear some LONG fake eye lashes and those sure did bug me!  But, we met some friends up there and we all had so much fun!  We ate dinner and watched this really good musical skit that was pretty funny.  This was the first time I had ever been to Gardner's Village and to the Witches' Night Out.  It is something that they do every year and we decided to check it out this year and see what it was all about.  It was a fun night and glad that I went!

Alex turns 17!

This past weekend I was able to go to Idaho for fall break and spend some time with my family.  Colton went hunting and I didn't want to stay home by myself all weekend so I thought going to Idaho would be the perfect idea!  It was so great to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa along with the rest of the family.  My aunt Danielle was wanting to can some spaghetti sauce so Grandma and I helped her do that on Friday.  Then, I went to the mall with my cousin Ashlyn and her mom.  That night we had a great little birthday part for ALEX!! She turned 17!  We had cinnamon rolls for "cake" and I loved it!  Then we went to support the Snake River High School football team.  Ha I sure don't miss high school that's for sure.  Saturday, we ALL went out to pizza for more birthday celebration!  After dinner we went back to Danielle's and carved pumpkins.  This is a tradition in our family and this was my first year to be a part of it!  I had so much fun!  I always love spending time with my family and I'm glad I was able to spend this past weekend with them.  Grandma and Grandpa sure do take good care of me.

Our FIRST Apartment!

Last Tuesday we moved into an apartment next door and I was quite excited!  We will just be living here until our apartment at the farm gets done.  It's getting close, Ill have to post some pictures of their progress.  But, our apartment now has two bedrooms and 1.5 bath and is pretty big just for the two of us but we both love it!  It has been really exciting moving all of our stuff and getting everything set up and put together.  Colton had to work so I had to do almost everything myself but I really didn't mind!  I do appreciate him carrying all of the heavy stuff though, it's great having a man in the house!  They are good for some things =)  I worked on unpacking everything and it took me about 11 hours and of course I did it all in a day because I couldn't stand having a mess.  So, needless to say I was VERY tired that day.  I am so happy to have everything moved and unpacked though.  I just can't wait till I pack it all up again in just a month or two and do it all over again!  It has been fun decorating and putting pictures up.  I just don't want to put too much up because I will just have to take them down again in just a little bit.  But, for now I'm happy and excited to have a little place of our own!
Our family room with nothing but a tv in it right now. 
Our cute little kitchen.


Our BIG bedroom.  I didn't realize we had this much stuff!  Well, okay the majority of it was mine.
