Not the Hunt Home...

It started with these two people.
Moving their family of 6 from their long-time home of Utah...
to this house here in Mesa Arizona.

This is the home where my husband really grew up.
Where he played with friends and his siblings.
Where he got into trouble.
Or hung out having fun.
This is where he learned how to play his favorite instrument.
Because he lived here, we were able to go to the same Jr. High (where we met).
Because he lived here, his best friend ended up being one of my very good friends (who actually ended up getting us together)
This is where he lived when he left on his mission, and where he lived up to the day we got married.
This is where we woke up on our first Christmas together.

Where all of the siblings and their spouses (plus some kiddos) hung out and played games.

And now...its not the Hunt home anymore.
Its someone elses.

But dang. I'm grateful they moved there.
Thanks house, you served your family well!

i shall call this "i'm a loser today"

Wanna here how my morning went?

1. Woke up late (cold morning+warm bed=LAZY BONES)

2. Remembered to grab the lunch i made last--score!

3. Substitute mailman put the mail through the door yesterday resulting in in me stepping on it and slipping.

4. Me slipping on said mail=me falling very hard onto my back

5. Alarm at the store going off before i could disable it.

6. Receiving calls from the alarm company making sure everything is okay and then having to walk me through the steps to turn it off.

7. The police showing up, and having to give a tour of the store to make sure nobody was hiding in the back making me say everything was okay.

brilliant.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE:

i'm blogging at work! on MY laptop! something went right today...hallelujah.

Time out for Women

AMAZING!!!!

"Choose to Become"

AWEOME!!!!

All the Speakers and Musicians?

WONDERFUL!!!!

Oh my goodness...i've never gone before. I went with my mom, my SIL melanie, my aunt, and 2 of my cousins.



Its a Friday night/Saturday conference for women! In 2 words?
UPLIFTING AND INSPIRING!

Both Musicians truly spoke to me...they were fantastic. On Saturday it was Hilliary Weeks. Shes hilarious and so talented. "A songwriter/singer/pianist. A mother. A mormon."

Not a great picture...but the only one i have.

October 2011

Seriously, i need my computer back. LOL its my own fault for not having it at the moment, but geez! You really cant blog at all when you have no internet access.

I have some catching up to do! and guess what?! PICTURES! (miracles do happen, see?)


I know i have posted in October, so its not like you havent heard from me. But lets just recap.

Ran in the Race for the Cure again :) 5 years that mom is cancer free! got some news at the end of oct saying that she tested positive for a cancer gene and now has to have a hysterectomy. We're sure that all will be well, and have great faith in her surgeons.

I have been working long days and to make sure i dont die, jace has been making me lunches. isnt he just such a cute mom?? ;)

Baby sat the 3 musketeers one night while my BIL Josh was in a play! We watched lots of movies, snuggled with aunt Andrea's stuffed animals, ate mac n cheese, read some books, and they all crashed on our bed. It was so cute.

I made Jace a mission shadowbox! Nothing fancy of course...but hes really happy with it.

Our pumpkins! This year Jace chose a smaller one because "it wouldnt take so long to clean out"...he realized his mistake later when he couldnt carve what he wanted to. He had to settle for the good old standby of "scary pumpkin face".

I on the other hand carved Frankie. :) Not my best...i like my mummy and tarantula better, but it was fun carving him!

My costume! Who am i? If you say Dorothy i will punch you in the head. I'm Wendy from Wendy's! I later added freckles and a wendy's bag.
(Jace was Jack from Jack in the Box--hilarious.)
I dont have a picture currently of Jace...but you could check out the busybeelauren blog... she had a good picture and Jace has some on his phone.

Cupey-cakes

So.
The last time i made cupcakes it was for my BFF katie's 22nd birthday.
That means...its been 2 years.
(ie. my entire marriage)

ZOINKS!

Lets fix that shall we??

2 Years!!!

We made it!
2 years.
Crazy that its already been that long.

We decided to go up to the cabin for our anniversary, just like we went up there for our honeymoon.
it. was. awesome.

Here are some pictures of the fun, relaxing weekend that we had.

whoever invented hammocks was a genius.

walks around the ranch

king of the mountain.

a running joke. the only picture we took on our honeymoon was of the covered bridge on the way into the ranch. This was on the way out.

my family has been working on the front of the cabin--making it a fun place to lounge. they started a fire pit---we finished it.

ye old windmill.

Anniversary! We were about to go into dinner in town.

i love you jace!!!

SpOoKy!!

I needed a Halloween wreath.

Jace made fun of me.

He said that i had to have a wreath for every holiday...

uh. duh.




This was so easy, but a bit time consuming. I watched 2 full movies by the time i was done.
Worth it! i love!! I think i may keep adding maybe a spider web in the middle?? i dont know. i'll have to see.
