Can't Sleep...

Dear Blog,
I can not sleep and have tried all the tricks in the book... so since it has been a year and a half since i last posted maybe i will just give a little update on my life and maybe this will do the trick! WELL... so I left off with Kelli's wedding... Wow that seems like forever ago? What have I been up to the past month?!?!

November 15 & 16

I performed Thurs and Fri in the Mesa High Dance Concert in the Alumni Dance. It was choreographed by Heather Hinze and it was a contemporary lyricalish piece i guess you could say... it was so much fun to be back on that stage again! It was like my home for 3 years! I love dance so much and miss it alot. This picture makes me wanna be a ballerina.... look at those calves...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was alot of fun. Chad and I came to my house at noon and helped my mom do some last minute food preparations, and then we ate a miniscule amount of food just to hold us over while we waited for 2:00 to roll around! We went to his grandparents house for the big meal of the day and it was DELICIOUS!!! The next two or three hours were dedicated to playing the Wii. Kim is not good at video games... HOWEVER i did find my strength and it is a target shooting game played on the Wii. I was undefeated until Chad's little brother Colton decided to be equally as good as me. We had some intense battles believe you me. That night we went to my aunts house and played card games.

Such as our family game called NERTZ!

Chad was pretty much a pro by about round 3... he has a strange talent for card games... or any game at that matter... you should see him play minesweeper. It's mind boggling! Anyway the next day AKA black friday... Chad and I woke up (actually I stayed up all night and woke chad up) at 5:00 a.m. to stand in line at GameStop to buy a Wii! It was freezing cold but the people in line were hilarious and we had fun talking with them. When the guy finally opened the door he said that got 15 Wii's in and he was going to give the first 15 people a number... and of course my number was 12! My Favorite! Lucky me. After we got our Wii's we went shopping at the new mall on San Tan. They were having some good sales!

UNLUCKY EVENT: Kim got a speeding ticket for going 55 in a 45 right as she was leaving Chad's house... warning to all: From pecos to Germann on Val Vista DO NOT GO OVER 45! Police jerks wait there to pull people over and they are all on serious power trips. Grrrr nothing like getting a 175.oo ticket right after spending all your money shopping!

Chad Gets Christmas Spirit

Chad decided he wanted to tackle the project of putting up christmas lights since it is his first Christmas in his own house! sounds like an easy process right?

1. Pick out lights

2. Put the lights on the house

3. Wait till dark, turn them on, and watch them shine!

hahahaha no no our process has about 621 steps! We went to Costco and target and walmart and target again and walmart again and walmart again a few days later! We tried to tape hooks up to keep the lights on and that was unsuccessful so we had to get a drill and drill holes then screw the hooks in and then put up the lights. Next we had the ROPE lights that we had to string around the window! haha took about an hour. So thats all we have done in the past week but I think there are still 6 or 7 boxes of lights still waiting to find their place! All this sounds pretty stressful but it has actually been soooo much fun! I love seeing Chad get all excited about Christmas and about decorating his house! He is so awesome.

More Bad News

Remember my dream phone...

well lets just say my dream phone plus a sink full of water DO NOT MIX WELL! Huh? funny how Chad did the EXACT same thing to his old phone! Stupid minds think alike apparantly! HUMPH! I am sad the poor thing broke... but thanks to phone insurance "for a low fee of $50 we will send you a replacement phone on Monday!" Yes! Can't wait.

Well that is all the BIG stuff that has happened over the past month I think... I am still loving work at Farnsworth Orthopedic Physical Therapist (aka FOPT). Our Christmas work party is tomorrow! I am excited! Chad is excited to see what prize we win... hopefully its a good one. My bosses little boy came into work today, he is 4, and he asked Chad if he could him a massage... long story short Chad got a professional massage from a 4 yr old today and it was probably one of the funniest things I have ever experienced! Probably 99% of the funnest things in my life happen at work... I work with the funnest people! Wel I am actual tired now so i think I will try the whole sleeping thing again! If anyone actually read this whole thing you are on my top 5 favorite people list.
