At the title company signing the official homeowner papers!
Our new grass in the back that got put in at the end of August...We love our new home and Herriman is such a beautiful place.
Yikes!! I found this one night out by the garbage....it freaked me out so I ran to get Josh, and he caught it cause it was huuuuge and we needed proof. He let it go in the field a couple days later, don't come back spidey!
Things we love about our new place:
- Having friends and family over to visit
- Getting to finally park in a garage!! And not going out to a freezing car or having to clean the snow off of it.
- Just having a garage to put stuff in.
- Having a balcony- sometimes we sit and eat breakfast out on it
- A new office space
- Not having to worry about neighbors above us and how much they can hear of our life etc
- The beautiful scenery outside our windows of the mountains and valley
- Our kitchen and GAS stove! Loving it...
- Our new ward, so many people are new just like us
- SPACE!!
Things that have caught us off guard about our new home:
- A slight flood in the basement a couple days after we moved in, from a back up in the sewer system
- Waiting for the blinds to get put in and feeling creeped on for a couple weeks
- Bills, and more bills...
- Getting used to the commute but its way better than we thought
- Our clubhouse key not working, now it does...hot tub baby
- BILLS...
Even though it was a little while ago- July/August, we got to attend my friend Jessi's little boy James' 1 year old birthday party! Jessi of course is a fabulous party thrower and made these darling hats which we had to get our picture taken in. Fun times!
Speaking of birthdays...It was this amazing lady's birthday October 8th! (Mama and I at the REAL game). I really couldn't ask for a better, more loving Mother. She is what I aspire to be like when I become a Mom. Every year I adore her more and more and admire her love and patience with all she's been through and for taking care of us and teaching us about the gospel and how to live. I love u MOM.
It was my Moms 60th birthday this year, so we decided to throw a huge surprise bash for her to celebrate her! It was a huge success. Thanks to all her family and friends that came to support her, she was very surprised. This is her amazing cake that we had made! It was awesome.
If you know my MOM, you know she is a spunky, fun loving woman. We decided to use these decorations, it shows her personality.
I decided to throw a murder mystery dinner for some friends a little bit ago. (I was nervous!) I had never thrown one before but it turned out to be way fun. My Mom came over to help me put it together and found Josh's stach for the party. My Mom helps me SO much.
Murder Mystery...
Characters...
In costume and ready to play!
Barbara was the killer...little did anyone know...haha
We had a blast...thanks to everyone having a good time and playing along!
Josh and I also had some friend over to carve pumpkins...We went to the Peterson Family farm to pick out our pumpkins. It was so fun, and it was our first time out to a pumpkin patch!
Hope ya'll have a SpOoKy Halloween tomorrow!
Happy Halloween 2012!
Tune in for one more surprise Halloween update...Coming Soon!
