boo

been a long time...

but it's been a great 2 weeks for kyle and me!!

so much has hapenned I feel.

1. I am now another year older. and wiser. 24!!! weirddddd i feel so old. haha. But I had a most wonderful day of birth thanks to my hubby who planned the whole day for us. It was pretty much a food fest... brunch after church, followed by a visit to the Chocolate Factory, after some shopping it was a movie complete with popcorn, and finally dinner with dessert. haha... there were no breaks. I woke up the next morning at 445 am for work.... STILL with a tummy ache. haha. but it was a great day!!!!

The friday night before we went to a huge halloween bash that was held at an old warehouse in Bend. We went because my coworker choreographed a dance that was performing that night. Kyle and I dressed as Waldo and Wanda... we were super cute, and a hit. I'll post a pic... which doesn't do the costume justice... we couldn't get a pic of our whole bodies. But it was fun! We also went to a haunted house... which the scariest part about it was when Kyle touched one of the "actors" and she FLIPPED OUT. yelled at us sooo loudy, cursing and throwing a fit. definitely scary. haha. whoops.

2. had a crazy week at work with the new holiday shipment coming in. All week I was coming in at 6 am and basically redoing the whole store. I had a lot of fun though making up the new windows, and doing all the fun creative visual stuff. I definitely like that a lot more than dealing with the customers..... ahaha.

3. Kyle and I... especially Kyle, have been busy busy busy reading reading reading. Between the two of us we've finished over 4 books in 2 weeks. ha. one of them being Danny Silk's "Loving your children on purpose". No we are not pregnant... haha. But it's such an amazing book on how to teach and love on your kids. It'll be helpful in Africa.... but also for all relationships in life. It actually was really helpful and had to do with the husband wife relationship as well. A lot of growing taking place. Speaking of Kyle and I... today is our 2 month!!! wahoooo. time FLIES i'll tell you that.

4. Africa... Kyle and I got ALL of our vaccinations last week. 5 shots total. our arms were sooorreee. But we're good against most everything! yay. and we picked up our malaria pills already.

plus... we began a little project. We went to the fabric store and kyle had a great idea to make bags. The bags are AFRICA inspired and rugged. however... extremely durable. Kyle got his mother's sewing machine, and we set it up next to mine and made a little mini factory at the ranch. For a week straight we were creating... we've made 4 bags total... each one getting better than the next. they're actually quite awesome... so if you're interested in buying one... give us a ring. the money goes to a good cause!!! It was a great project for us, and definitely something fun for us to do together. yay bonding :)

the first picture is of our pumpkins!!! Kyle did the perfect jack o lantern, and mine says, "me gusta pumpa"... which means.... I love pumpkin!
yayyy. it was fun, and made it feel like halloweeeeenie.

and the second picture is FINALLY.... the painting Emily Clarke did of us. it is AMAZING, and now hanging up in our apartment. Don't forget to go to her website. It's on the previous post. yay art.

well... that's about it. :)
