9 days

Oh, I've missed you.

See you soon.......

Wait... What??

Today we had our Halloween party at work today. Now..... I am not huge on dressing up or really the whole Halloween scene but I did decide to dress up. I decided to go as Wenda- Waldo's girlfriend. I quickly realized that many people do not know who Waldo is let alone his girlfriend Wenda

It killed me (and my co-workers) to hear all the many guesses as to who I was from everyone all day long-

Olive Oil

A Who

Cat in the Hat

Christmas Elf

Candy Cane (?!?)

So if you don't know who Wenda and Waldo are....

Check it out......

Silhouettes

I was so excited to get the silhouettes framed that my friend Dani made for us. They turned out so good. Thanks so much Dani we love them!

Irrational Fears

When we first got Nico her name was Sissy. We thought that was a pretty lame name so we re-named her Nico. It didn't take long after having Nico that we discovered why her name had been Sissy. She is afraid of EVERYTHING! Its funny sometimes, but other times its just flat out annoying.

For my birthday my friends decorated my desk at work and gave me two big mylar balloons, in addition to a ridiculous amount of tiny heart confetti (thank you Amanda). We celebrated my birthday on Wednesday because Chris and I took Thursday and Friday off together. Well I didn't want to leave my balloons there so I brought them home with me.

Nico had previously had a fear of latex balloons but got over it once they no longer floated. I thought that maybe Nico would appreciate the big balloons and Zira well she doesn't really care either way. The second I walked in the door with the balloons, Nico was TERRIFIED! I opened the door and both the Dilly's came running over to greet me as they always do. It took about 3 seconds for Nico to realize what the balloons were and she went running as fast as she could, tail between legs and cowering in the corner. After teasing Nico with it for a while we ended up tying it around her neck after she was being bad to punish her. It was pretty funny and we still don't understand why she is so terrified of them.

For now we have locked the balloons in the spare bedroom so that Nico doesn't just stay sitting in the corner all day. Even though the door is closed she still won't sit by the door and walks as far away from the door as possible.

The Funk

I was doing so well for a while with blogging.... then the funk came...

We are all settled into our new apartment and I REALLY like it here. The movie theater is in our back yard, Target and Harmon's are less than 2 minutes away and Petco is within Dilly walking distance.

It's hard to deny that I am still bummed about our house. The bank officially took back possession 3 weeks ago and last Wednesday the house was auctioned off at the courthouse in Provo. A part of me really did want to go to the auction just to see what it was like.... but, in the end I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. So our house is no longer our house, and thats ok. One step closer to being done with this crappy 3 1/2 year phase of our lives. Hopefully within the next 6 months all this will be over.

Sorry for a kind of depressing post.... just needed to say it.....

New Favorite Picture

I was trying to get a picture of Nico stretching while she was standing on the arm of the chair {it was really cute}but.... right as my camera went to take the picture, she yawned, and her true colors were revealed.

creepy....

Fall

Typically I don't decorate for Fall much but this year I decided I wanted to make a wreath. And a wreath I made- all from scratch (scratch? wrong term maybe....) I started with a grapevine wreath and ended 1 hour later with this----- I was quite proud of my doing.

Can't wait till November for Christmas decorating....
