Las Vegas Bowl

We had the pleasure of attending the Las Vegas Bowl with our friends Brad & Melody! It was a blast! We started the night off by eating at a most delicious Greek place and then we drove (in one car) to the game. I don't know if anyone's been to a game, but the traffic is crazy! Going to the game it's pretty much one way, so there's not really anywhere to go if you have to leave. We were in the line to pay for our parking (a whopping $10!) when Brad realizes he doesn't have the tickets. We couldn't help but laugh...where were we going to go to get out and go get them? So we do a huge loop around the parking lot and find a way to go. Of course there's always one jerk who wants to pass everyone. Well ALL of the cars were on the left and we were on the right and there's ONE car that "didn't know" it was one way (did he not see the other 1o0 cars sitting in one line?)! There was no way we were going to get through so Michael told him he needed to back up. The guy said "I am not backing up." He puts his car in stealth mode by tucking in the side mirror and passes right by us. After I was done having a panic attack we all had a good ole' laugh about it. Then we made fun of Brad for forgetting the tickets and then we made fun of each other for not asking if he had the tickets when we first left. Oh well. We only made it about 10 minutes late and enjoyed our cold night out! Brrr....oh yeah, go Cougars! Haha.

Let It Snow!

Visibility distance = apx. 100 ft!

Amount of snow = enough to make a snowman and still have left over for a snowball fight!

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas = priceless.

LAST day of work!

Marie will miss me. We'll have to get together to practice for our band after you work.

My sister Melissa. You are so funny! How perfect did this picture turn out? I won't miss you so much because I will still see you!

I'll miss you, NST!

Hooray!

Yesterday at work I felt like this







Today I feel like this








Why you ask? I put in my 2 weeks notice! Oh yeah! Now what am I going to do you ask? I'm going to substitute teach! I'm excited!

Happy Halloween

A guy at Michael's work got them all costumes and this is his. He is a guru. Cool huh?

These girls are my super cute back-yard neighbors. Grace was Belle and Aliza was Jasmin. Aren't they beautiful?










This is Michael and me at our trunk-or-treat. He was himself for Halloween and I was 'glamorous.'

The House

Here is the final look of the outside of our house. Isn't the blue awesome?





Here is the kitchen. I cleaned after I took the picture but was too lazy to re-take the picture and put it on the computer so you get the messy/lived-in picture. Pay attention to the counter tops, they are from India!


This is the dining room. The walls are the color 'Mint Hint.'




Michael and I installed the floor tiles ourselves! After many long nights, we got it done and I think it looks pretty good.
This is the living room. It's not quite complete yet, but the huge Santa sure adds to the room!
(Do these pictures seem smaller than normal?)

Cheaters

Is it just me or are the people keeping track of movie ticket sales cheating? I mean, how is it comparable to 10 years ago? 10 years ago the price of a movie ticket was like $5 compared to now at $9.75. So when they say "Dark Knight has the highest sales in one day" that means nothing to me anymore. Why don't they keep track of number of tickets sold? Then they could say "Dark Knight sold more tickets in one day than any other movie ever!" Wouldn't that make more sense and be more accurate? Therefore, movie people cheat because the price of the movie ticket keeps increasing making it seem like their movie is totally fantastic when in all actuality it could be the worst movie ever.
