CHS Football

This fall we have spent our Friday nights at the Clearfield High football games. My little brother Daniel plays on the team. We have had so much fun going and cheering him on. There is nothing like high school football. It's so much fun and we will defiantly miss going. Now I don't know what we will do on Friday nights. Oh well. I just want to say that we are so proud of you Daniel and we love you very much. Thanks for being a great little bro. P.S. he will be so mad and embarrassed if he saw this, but that's OK. Here is a little slide show of some of the games.

Pumpkin Walk

Thursday night we went to Syracuse cities pumpkin walk. Katie, Eric, Amoree, Jonathan, Melissa, Taggart, and my mom joined us. When we got there the line was forever long. They said it would be forty-five minutes to an hour wait. We did not think it was a good idea to wait than long in the cold with Taggart and Amoree. So we kind of cheated and walked around the outside. We could see everything great. It was a lot of fun!

Here are some of the cool pumpkins.

Go Jazz!

Girl's Time

My mom recently started a tradition that once month we go to a different persons house for lunch and an activity. Its been a lot of fun. Katie did a great job this month. It was very festive. She made stew in a pumpkin and we ate out of pumpkin bread bowls. Then we made carmel apples for our activity. Here are some pics.

Here is the cute table.

Bahamas Here We Come!

Last night we booked our cruise to the Bahamas. I am so excited! Our cruise is December 15th(Jake's birthday)to the 19th, but we are hoping to leave the 12th and spend some time in Florida. Norwegian Cruise Lines has some really good deals going on right now. So if anyone is looking to go on a cruise, go to ncl.com. We have free flights from T-mobile so that is the main reason we are going, and that we found a really good deal. We also want to go before we have kids, because we probably won't get the chance for along time. We have to wait two weeks to see if we can get the flights we need. So everyone keep your fingers crossed.

I was tagged!

I was tagged by Melissa. I am supposed to list 7 weird or random facts about myself, so here they are.

1. I am a bit obsessive compulsive. When I go to bed at night, all of the covers have to be straight and even. I can't have more hanging down on one side then the other, and I can't have too much at the top or I feel like I am drowning in covers. If there is a picture on the blanket, it has to be facing the right way or I can't sleep. And...my clothes have to be straight hanging in the closet. My closet doesn't have a door, and so when I lay in bed I can see right into my closet. If I see a shirt sticking out or is not hanging straight I have to get up and fix it or I am thinking about all night and can't sleep. This drives Jake crazy by the way.

2.I have a certain way of eating. I only eat one thing at a time. For example, if I have meat, a veggie, and a roll I would start with the meat and I wouldn't move on to the next thing until my meat is completely gone. Then next I would eat my veggies and do the same until all of my food was gone. Oh yeah, and none of my food can touch either.

3. I talk to myself all the time. When I am alone and thinking to myself I just start having a conversation. I will answer my own questions like I am two different people, or I will think something and then think to myself, "I know"! I totally agree with you. I know I'm a bit of a freak! Ha ha:)

4. I push snooze on my alarm like five times... and it goes off every five minutes! So every five minutes its like that initial wakening that makes you so mad that you want to throw your alarm across the room. I actually set my alarm for earlier then I have to wake up so I can push snooze. Doesn't it make sense to set it for the right time and get that nice extra half hour of peaceful sleeping? I think so, but for some reason I just cannot wake up the first time my alarm goes off. I don't know why?

5. I guess you could say I'm a bit needy as well as Melissa. Mostly I just hate being alone! I can't stand to go anywhere alone. If I have to run to the store really fast for one thing, I wait for Jake to get home to come with me, or make my sister come. If I have to go to the doctor for some quick blood tests, I make Jake take off work and come. I just feel like such a loser if I'm alone. Plus I just love my husbands company!

6. I'm a bit obsessed with reality TV. I'm not sure what it is about it, but I watch almost every one. The Hills, Making the Band, The Amazing Race, Kimora, Denise Richards, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Jon and Kate Plus 8, The Bachelor/Bacholerette, Real World, Real World Challenges, Ace of Cakes, Flip That House and any home remodeling shows. The list goes on and on. Our DVR is full with these shows. We really don't watch many sitcoms. Weird, I know!

7. I love chap stick and lotion. I put it on at least every couple of hours. I think they are the best invention ever! I really think I would die without them. OK, I might be being a little dramatic, but you know what I mean.

So there you go. Now everyone knows how weird I really am. I don't have seven people to tag. So I will tag Katie, Alisha, and Necia.
