My Favorite Season: Fall!

Here are some reasons why fall is my favorite time of the year.


You get to show off your creativity on a pumpkin.


You cannot find a more pretty view of warm colors. I always feel at home with all the different shades of brown, orange, yellow, and red.



You can get away with drinking hot chocolate before its winter.


I love losing my way with the hubs in a corn maze.


My favorite fall treat. Creamy, nutty and soft on the outside. Juicy and crisp on the inside.


I have an awesome excuse to make my famous white chicken chili. No matter how many times I crave it durring the rest of the year, I always save it for the fall. Mmm!

Songs

This song sums up how Im feeling now with Daves new job.



This is another song that Dave and I love. I guess you could say its our love song. Enjoy!

I did it.

So the very first night after Dave left was terrible. I thought it would be totally fine. What ended up happening was I was getting ready for bed when I hear this super strange thud. I had no idea what it was. As soon as I realized I was freaking myself out I tried to stop. As I finally got settled in my bed I heared it again. This time I knew it wasnt all in my head. So I jumped out of bed and probably looked like a retard walking all weird and yelling weird things trying to scare something that most likely wasnt in my home out. (But you cant help for thinking someone was, we have had 2 break ins in out neighborhood in a calandar month). So as soon as I ran back upstairs into my room, I saw that my mom was calling me. She was making sure I was okay and It didnt take much to convince me to come sleep over at there house. As I layed in bed. I was thinking that I beed to get over that new fear of sleeping at my house alone. So I decided that last night I was going to do it. And I did it!!! I went to bed at 8:30 while it was still light outside so people could still see my house which means nobody would come take out worthless stuff (hence, The List) or try to kidnap me, and I took a melatonin. Which knocked me out for 12 hours. Hopefully the rest of the times I am home alone at night sleeping will go that smooth. But in any case, I know its a little lame.. but Im so proud of myself!!

Fairytale will come true

Once apon a time, there was a beautiful princess who married the most handsome prince in the whole world who made her laugh every day. Ever since they were hitched, she worked as a slave to a powerful man named Mr. Mister who owned a castle full of old and sick dragons. She worked there for 2 1/2 years scraping poop off the floor, being showered in urine and vomit and being yelled at for not cleaning up and caring for the old and sick dragons fast enough. One day the princess snapped. She was done coming home crying and not being treated fairly and be tired all the time. So she went to see Mr. Mister that if he wouldnt let her become the new welcoming fairy, that he would loose the best, most prized worker in all the land.
In the mean time, her prince graduated prince finishing school to become a spy to work for foxes. He was so excited to start his new adventure. He told his princess that if she stays a slave and clean up dragon poop until he gets back, she will recieve 300 gold coins all to herself. She decided that it would probably be wise to stay for a couple more weeks to help her family. Even if she didnt get the new position as welcoming fairy.
While the prince was gone, the princess threw a party and invited all her animal friends to come. They had a blast until one day before the prince was to return home and she could clean up all the mess.
Shortly upon his arrival home, she was granted 300 gold coins and had a weeks worth of fun shopping. She also quit her job working for Mr. Mister and got a fun job at a clothing cottage. The End!

"The List"

As I promised last post, I will share with you "the list". That is what Dave and I call it. Don't worry, we have some unfinished debts to pay off first. Anyways! Here goes...
1) Washer and Dryer. We are seriously looking and have our hearts set on a Frigidaire affinity high efficiency one at RC Willy
2) Computer. My friends boyfriend works at apple and is going to give us this awesome deal for a iMac. Can't wait!!!
3) Desk. (We will buy 2&3 together) I've found a super cute one at Ikea. I LOVE that store.
4) Bed and new bedroom set. When we were married we received a nice used bed, but for the past month we have been grouchy and our necks and backs have been hurting. so were going to get a king size Intellibed.
5) Couches. We own 3 fugly couches. Time to make the world less fugly one couch at a time. :)
6) Kitchen table, preferably square.
7) TV and entertainment center. The options are endless.
8) Cruise number 2. Can you say relax? Ahh.
9) Rugs. I may take this one off the list.
10) Bookshelves for the library.
11) Grill. Nuff said
12) Patio set to enjoy the summer breeze and grilled food with pink lemonade.
13) 3 kitchen stools for the bar.
This concludes our list for now. Let's see what actually happens, eh?

Random!

So this post is totally random. Oh, btw, if you didnt know, David got the job and is headed off to training in Chicago, Illinois on the 15th of this month for 2 whole weeks, then he gets to drive 20 hours home. But thats okay... 15 dollars an hour drive time is pretty shweet. As soon as he gets all settled in his new career, I will go down to weekends at the hospital. WHOOHOO!!! Oh! btw, when I quit Im throwing this huge party and you're all invited.
My dad not the bishop anymore and it is kind of weird. I always see him now and it throws me for a loop.
I need to get new scrubs that don't stink like hospital. Eww!
One of these days I will post "The List" of big ticket items that we will be purchasing and you all can give me your opinion.
I am so happy my two guy friends are safe home from their missions. It is so fun to have game nights with them.
The chances are 1/10, will we be it??? I hope so.
Do you ever feel like you try and try, but you just aren't good enough to become a favorite? I sure do!
"Why should I apologize for you choosing to be offended? That's your problem. You get to deal with your choosing to have a broken heart".
Cute love quote goes here.
The Doc is going to put me on Clomid starting next month.
I love my husband sooooooo much. I'm so proud that he found his career.
And that wraps up Hannahs random thoughts of the hour. ;)

Summer 2011

First off, pictures are to come. That is a whole other story.
So many things have happened this summer. Like, since we have moved into our new place, we realzed that yard work isnt always fun and easy. One saturday, we spent all day with my parents at our house pulling weeds, mowing the lawn and babying our peach tree and raspberry bushes. Then a week day later in the week, one of my buddies that just got home from his mission came over to help us pull all the weeds in the garden (aprox. 1/4 of the backyard). Thanks Jordan!! (This is where I would insert before and after pictures. hahaha)
Lets see. What else... Oh! We went to snowbird this past week. It was so nice to get away and relax. We went on a hike and it was very lovely. Lots of green, not a cloud in the sky, pretty flowers and the water was pretty high too.
David also has this new awesome job opportunity to be a investigator for a company called Photofax(he is actually on his last interview/ride along as we speak. he'll be home in about 11 hours. yikes) With this job, he would be traveling about 1/3rd of the month and I would be able to go to 2 weekends a month and go to school full time for now. We are so excited for him and this opportunity. (We'll let you know in the next day or two if he gets it, and im sure we will post about it, so keep your eyes open).
Going back to raspberries, (I just had this memory of when I was like 9, living in Vancover, Washington driving around all morning and afternoon with my mom and my sister with big bowls going to random peoples houses with signs on there porch saying "Fresh ______berries, you pick") we have like 9 bushes and they are so full of the delicioso berries that we have to water and pick like every day. I love them so much that this is quite fun for me. I want to try to make freezer jam this year. I will let you know how that first time experience goes.. Also, I've been giving a lot away, so if you want some, PLEASE COME PICK!!! They are also AMAZING with frozen yogurt. We have had that like every night for the past week and a half. mmm!
