Comfy Bed


I bought flannel sheets yesterday. They're fantastic! Our other sheets were so cold each night when we first got in. Even Peter was cold (and his thick Canadian blood is never cold), so I know I wasn't being a baby. Sorta funny putting on flannel sheets in San Diego, but we were happy last night and I'm looking forward to it tonight.

Today's Housecleaning Project


Since Peter and I might be moving next year (so sad!), we've been trying to downsize. Our second bedroom is full of boxes and junk and stuff. I think this is a project people work on their whole lives! Today, I'm importing all my old burned CDs to the computer. It is such a trip taking this walk down memory lane to hear the mixes and Polish stuff from a couple years ago. Music is great!

Our Birthday Weekend

Our birthdays are 6 days apart - Peter: Oct 19th and Me: Oct 25th. It'll be fun for years to come that we get to celebrate together and for a whole week! I want to share some pictures from that week, even though was a month ago.

Peter was still working at the Academy on his birthday, it was one of his last days. So I surprised him at work with a cake. I timed it so I'd get there when he was with about 8 colleagues, but no-one knew it was his birthday or that last day working with him was 2 days away. It was SO AWKWARD! They all appreciated the cake once they knew, but had no idea who the girl with the cake was when I walked in. I hope he at least appreciated the effort and embarrassment.

Our Ward Halloween party was on my birthday. I wanted to go because had such great kid costumes (compliments of my sister, Anne). We were Princess Peach and Luigi from Mario Brothers.

We went to a nice wedding of Alan and Britta DeMartini. It had nothing to do with our birthdays, but still fun to get dressed up and go out for food and dancing with friends.

My gift was that Peter surprised me and took me to see miXtape, and 80's musical downtown. Shows that he knows me well, dancing and 80's music! My favorite things!
(he's wearing one of the gifts I got him, I love dressing him!)

We loved it so much, er, I loved it so much, I talked my sibs and spouses into going. It was so much fun! I recommend it to everyone. And sitting next to Miles is a great way to see it too, he was laughing/singing the whole time!

I Love Sundays!


We had church, choir, naps, dinner/dominoes with friends and ended the day watching Enchanted. How about Peter being perfectly happy to watch Enchanted with me!? I married my match!

Canadian Thanksgiving

The Second Monday of October is Canadian Thanksgiving. Luckily, two of Peter's best friends from Colllge live in California. Dan Harker came down from Orange County and Randy and Theresa Miller live in the Bay Area. It was a great weekend!

The food was amazing!

It took a lot of hands to make the meal.

Our beautiful little city on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely not the same weather Peter and his friends had when they celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada.

The Polish Festival was the same weekend down the street, so we walked over and some of my favorite food!

Basically, a whole lot of hanging and food at our place.

An email from my USU Professor


I know people don't like BYU. Cougars can be self-righteous, close-minded and elitists (but I love it with all my blue-blood and heart and am so proud to have gone there!). Last week I got this email from my professor from USU, sent to about 450 people. I don't think it's appropriate. Oh well. Thems the breaks.
**I edited my earlier statements, I know they were really self-righteous. It just bugs me.

Last Tuesday we were disconnected from our onramp to the Information Superhighway! We couldn't cruise on the freeway of fun or watch happy helpings of Hulu. I couldn't do much for school work, emailing, banking, iTunes stopped working because it needed an update or something and we've been playing MarioParty and Peter beats me every time (so frustrating!). But... this morning, I couldn't take it anymore and I asked our neighbor for their password in exchange for pumpkin choc chip cookies. They're nice, they gave it to me and I'm back! So much happier!!
