Pushing Right Along

          So life keeps going.  Seasons change, it gets WAY too cold, finals rush towards us, and we're still trying to stay sane...Albert's doing better than I am I think.
          Albert's super excited for the first part of the 7th Harry Potter movie to come out. :)  (Yes, we're huge fans...we have all of the movies...and a clear-play player so I can watch them too 8D  )  That's about all the big news that's coming out right now...oh...and we're getting wood flooring in our house sometime this week. :)  (not sure when but the guy is fixing the parts of the floor that need fixing today...he may have also been laying down the wood, but I don't remember...we'll see when I get home eh?)
          We're super excited for Thanksgiving and all of the family-ness and festivities that result because of it.  (though Albert may be a bit apprehensive about the thanksgiving dinner w/ my family because he knows we tend to do some pretty crazy things...ah well :P )  We're also excited because it gives us a good break from school (and work for me) and because we only have 2 weeks after that left of school until we're done and then we don't have to worry about any kind of school work...well...for 3.5 weeks depending on how fast we get our finals done :P
          Things that we are especially grateful for this season: carrots, super pretzels, warm beds, great housing managers, loving family, brothers who come and eat our cookies that we can't finish, being healthy, getting enough to eat, lots of quilts, flushing toilets, cars that run, crock pots, good grades, clean minds, good jobs, wonderful friends, and a lot more which I won't write because there's too much...those are just some of the highlights.
         Anyways.  yep. life is good.  we're happy, we love each other, we love life...though we wish we could have a little more time to sleep and a little less running around to do sometimes, but don't we all?

Halloween

So, this was Albert and I's second Halloween together.

     Last Halloween, we dressed up (me as a gypsy and Albert as a pirate I think) and met up with our friend Laura.  We then drove up to where Laura's Nana lives in Orem and went trick or treating.  we got lots of weird looks, but had a bunch of fun.  Near the end I started saying "happy holidays" to people because TECHNICALLY it was a holiday and Thanksgiving and Christmas were so near...that also got me lots of weird looks.  Anyways, once we were done trick-or-treating, we took all of our candy to the hospital in Provo and gave it to the authorities and asked them to give it to the children (those who could have it) who were stuck in the hospital on Halloween.  It was actually a bunch of fun and I was a little bummed that we didn't do it again...

     This Halloween weekend was a little controversial because Halloween was on Sunday.  Anyways, so Saturday morning Albert's mom came over with his Aunt and another friend and had a yard-sale on our front lawn (it was actually pretty fun because they could talk to all of the Hispanic people who came along).  I then had to go to work.  For work we were allowed to dress up as long as it kept within the parameters of work dress code (close toed shoes, nothing really immodest etc.)  So I went as a princess.

 Awesome book about a princess

     As you can see, two other girls came as princesses too...but that's ok...we decided to get along.  

     As you can also see, we met up with Charlie Chapman (quite a nice chap actually haha).  :) but yeah.  

     We only had 2-3 people come to our door Saturday night *disappointment* ...and nobody came on Sunday 

Ah well. Happy Belated Halloween!
