Merry Thanksgiving :)

The day started with... sleeping in :) I had to take a vow of silence the day before because laringitis stole my vocal chords. Getting more sleep helped but I was still a little croaky for turkey day. The things I made for thanksgiving were the pumpkin pie and salad! Yum yum! Two of my favorite things. We had about twenty people over! Parrrrrrrrtay.

The exchange students :)

The usual family crew + Grandma and Grandpa Palmer

University of Virginia Football Game

Gracie and I got to go to theUVA vs. Boston College football game. I just happened to wear orange that day... and good thing because that is a UVA color. It was a nice sunny day for a football game :) We had a good time and danced like crazy but still couldn't get on the big screen tv... maybe next time! haha

Washington DC

Last week Jon and I got to go to Virginia to visit Debbie, Chris and the kids. What an awesome trip! It was our first time to the east coast. We spent the first day in DC. It was cool to finally see all these things in person. We went to the Museum of Natural History, Air and Space Museum, Lincoln Memorial, and the National Monument. The Museum of Natural History was probably my favorite :)

Hahaha...

HAPPY HAUNTINGS!!!!!!!!

So my Halloween consisted of babysitting, work and then the single's ward party. It was a good day :) This year I was a mad scientist. I attempted to fro out my hair but it didn't work so well haha. It was a fun costume though, I love dressing up :) Here is a picture with Chelsea and I... she was a sailor - OH BABY!

I am really enjoying my time here at home but I'm also WAY excited for school to start here in about two months. I just love it up in good old Rexburg! It is starting to get cold here, I can see my breath... but it is November. Last year I was in California where it was just starting to get the right temperature and then I had to leave haha.

Today in Relief Society our lesson was on "Raising the Bar." Time to go ponder how I can raise the bar in my life...
