Thanksgiving this year was really fun! We don't get all of us together very often because my oldest sister lives in Logan with her family. But this year it was all of us! we had i think 14 people in my parents condo hee hee so it was slightly packed. But great none the less! And i love my families cooking on holidays! here are some photo's!

Welcome to California

So over the weekend we took a trip down to Arizona to go to a family wedding on Eric's side of the family. sadly we had to leave home Friday night around six and then leave Arizona on Sunday. So we had a very very quick trip. Friday night we got to Vegas and spent the night there and then Saturday we get to Arizona around 2:30 in the afternoon. and the wedding was at four. then there was the reception and it was pretty entertaining.. very different from the average wedding reception i attend ill say. I've been so sheltered living here in Utah county pretty much my whole life. I just had to be more open minded on how the rest of the world lives. But it was good to see Eric's side of the family. his aunts, uncles, and cousins are very nice and welcoming.

After the reception we drove back to our hotel and saw an in and out burger so we had to stop hee hee. then we woke up at 7am and hit the road... when we got to Kingman Arizona we decided to switch and have Eric drive! So we gas up and turn where is says "Las vegas" so we are driving for about an hour.. in the middle of Nowhere! when we are thinking..." this really doesn't look like the way we came" then suddenly there it is a " Welcome to California sign!" lol we both where just shocked! I still dont know how we ended up there but we finally got back to Vegas but it took us a little over an hour to get back there. so our trip Sunday ended up being a 12 hour drive home.. but Hey we saw three states!

... I think next time we will be flying!

Fat Face! :(

So after visiting with many different dental surgeons we finally decided on one. Reason being? well i have had these two anklosed teeth ( they never grew in all the way) and they are in the very back impacted clear down in my gums. so since they were starting to hurt and possibly causing infection.. it was time we parted ways! bye byes.

Thursday was the day of surgery and i started getting nervous mainly for the reason my bottom tooth was right along a nerve that if it got in the way of getting the tooth out my bottom lip could be numb for months to a year! So as I'm laying there the girl is trying to get my IV started but i had not drank fluids for over 14 hours so my veins where saying " Um no no little needle!". I started thinking of all the surgeries i have had and this was #11! Then i started thinking of waking up after being knocked out.. and i HATE that part i always have weird reactions coming out of the anesthesia. so then i got REALLY nervous! So when the doctor came in my voice was all cracking and he was prob thinking " uh only two teeth woman!" but whatever i could be numb lip girl!

So he tells me I'm giving you some med and it may make you itch but that's normal.. all i remember is saying " no i just feel light headed" and then he said" that's what we want" ha ha the next thing i know i wake up in a wheelchair with tears coming down my face.. i don't know why I'm crying.. And who placed me in the wheelchair? And I'm freezing and Eric kisses my good cheek lol and puts on my hoodie. I slept the whole way home Eric picked up my meds and got me some gummy bears so i wouldn't feel totally deprived of goodness!

Now I'm just healing and pretty swollen with fat faceness.. (its hot!) Hopefully i wont have too much more down time. I'm crossing my fingers that i i don't have to go under to stitch my upper gums i literally have a hole leading to my sinus its very awkward! i have cut down my pain meds because Thursday and Friday felt kinda like a blur! just felt not myself. But all in all i feel really happy that I'm just fat face Mary and not numb lip Mary!

*:..Our place..:*

So with everything going on with the economy Eric and I have been looking at getting our own place more seriously. we have looked at a few places but I didn't really feel like spending 175,000 on a two bedroom town house.. Maybe if it had at least one more room! right? But a few weeks ago i found some really cute town homes in AF not far from were we are at right now. 3 bed 2 1/2 bath and an unfinished basement and bathroom.. So cute for 169,000! So that sounded allot better.. but since the economy sucks my hours have been cut until December and then i will be slammed with our in Dec.. lol i cant seem to get the just right amount of hours.. Anywho.. that being said we have decided to hold off and resign our contract here for 7 more months and the town homes are only half way finished so they should still be building or getting close to done when we are looking.



All this got me thinking.. I have never posted pictures of our cute apartment! I really do love our place! ( Other then taking groceries up 3 flights of stairs.) But we do have a ton of space and and we get what we pay for!! I think i would be in a bigger rush to move if i didn't like our place so much :D so here are some photo's... If only i could paint right!?

Our cute bed! I designed myself! ( Looked even better when i had a cute green wall!)
Our room has so much space.. not even the town homes have master bedrooms as big!

Our living room this one is blurry :S

Our little dining area!

*:..Yesterday..:* We had a Bachelorette Party by slumber parties for Kendall at Mel's place and had allot of fun.

Hope you all enjoyed! And hopefully ill be able to post more now that have more free time! Xoxo *Mare
