It gave me no option to upload photos...weird..

Now paul keep is leaving in like 2 weeks! It hasn't fully hit the both of us yet, I am so excited for this opportunity, but it will be so hard! We finished finals! YAY! and they were Paul Keeps last final's! it is so exciting that he holds a bachelor's degree now! He will never have homework again! yay! Although he does want to get his master's, but we aren't thinking about that right now. haha..

I am on break from school and work! You gotta love working in the school system it's amazing! I can just recoup from it all. I got good grades again so that's exciting. We are waiting to hear from paul keep's, but i'm sure he did wonderful! But who cares cz he's graduated!! We have gone to see lights like 3 times SLC river woods mall and just driving around the neighborhood. I love to see lights. WE have been watching movies galore! and we bought each other Christmas gifts which is the first time we have done that married! its very exciting! I love Christmas, the wonderful spirit you get from the season and the happiness that comes during the holiday. It's wonderful I will be making gluten free cookies and such! probably another gluten free pie. I am good at that. And Of course later pictures of us snowboarding! so fun!

So we have had a great thanksgiving.. All of my pictures got erased :( but we had it with my sister and her friends. It was gluten free style. Stuffing gravy turkey mashed potatoes rolls all gluten free! so delicious!

IT was also my niece tori's birthday so we celebrated that as well. I wish I had pictures.. oh and also this is well known but I got my hair dyed chocolate brown. Everyone asks me why I did it and I am not really sure why.. I just did who knows. Just something I always thought I'd might like to do so I did it.

Interview

Today Paul Keep had his interview for the internship! He said it went very well and it was by far his best interview! But he is worried about the competition. Everything will work out how it is suppose to so we will definitely keep you up with the details! He was so handsome in his suit today! But it is funny how his came out with a red face and white around his eyes. He looked like a badly beaten raccoon. Haha. Good news he said someone was talking to him before he went into the interview so he went in red. Haha I said ooh good good hahaha.. But we will see!!

P.s I was gonna take a picture of him in his handsome suit, but I don't know where my memory card for my camera went.. BUT in due time I will get one

Thanksgiving this year should be fun! It is coming up so soon I will definitely post our thanksgiving adventures.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!

This Halloween has been an eventful one! Already we have gone to corn mazes, haunted houses and carved pumpkins and made caramel apples and popcorn with friends!

It has been way fun! Tonight we are going to nightmare on 13th! It is one of the best Halloween haunted houses in the Nation! We are really trying to do a lot before we move and also before Paul keep leaves!

It will definitely be the hardest thing when he is gone. He meets with the internship adviser on Monday. I am planning on having my friend Chelsy stay with me. Also I am going back to full time to fill up some free time. So it'll be good for money and my insanity.

But anyways Chelsy is graduating in April too but from BYU so when Paul Keep gets back it will be perfect because she will have already graduated and will be moving to California, or something.. but even still it will be great to have someone here with me.

I never thought that me and Paul Keep would ever be apart from each other this long, but the quote, "what would you do if you weren't afraid" is really stickin to me. I know that this is an amazing opportunity and everything that scares you just makes you a stronger person!!

Speaking of scaring.. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT NIGHTMARE ON 13TH!!

Anyways here are some pictures of our Halloween pumpkin carving fest! with Courtney and Blake and Chelsy!

Possible Internship

So as we were doing homework a couple nights ago, I got an email from my Professor about an internship. Usually I just delete these emails, but this one was different. It was in D.C. and it's a marketing internship. It is the perfect experience for me, but there is one problem. Ruthie and I don't like being apart. Well after some careful self-reflection we decided we can handle a little separation anxiety and this will be a great opportunity. So I am going to apply and we'll see what happens. The company is Policy Impact Communications. They do a lot of lobbying, but I will be working in their marketing department.

Other than that, there hasn't been too much exciting news. We have found an amazing place to eat! It's called the State Street Grill. They have the best cheeseburgers, fries, and bacon on the planet. The fries are so fresh that when you order them they are still in form of a potato.

And the bacon is apparently the only honey cured bacon in Utah. I don't know what that means other than it's delicious. We've been there three times already because we have a tendency to get obsessed with things.

Last Friday, we went to a haunted house. It was actually a haunted circus, and it was called The Strangling Brother's Haunted Circus: The Scariest Show on Earth.

According to the Strangling Brother's the clowns humor had run cold they were now feeding off of fear. So we gave it a try and it was awesome. Ruthie was hiding behind me the entire time, with her friend Courtney, but this only attracted more clowns. We made some new friends named Courtney and Blake. Courtney is just like Ruthie so combined at the haunted house meant more and more clowns. They both screamed the whole time.

Afterwards we went to In and Out and we were up until 2am. It was a good night.

The next morning we went to a Gluten free Expo that I found for Ruthie while listening to a talk radio show (Ruthie thinks its really boring) but I got some good out of it. We were able to buy her so many delicious gluten free rolls, breads and we got coupons and locations of places in the area with gluten free menus. It was a busy but fun weekend.

SWISS DAY!!!

So let me first start off with I suck at posting pictures in order.

But we had a great memorial day weekend.. we went down to swiss days and I got a feather in my hair! as well as kettle corn popcorn.. It was fun people were yodeling and all sorts of stuff cool shops it was awesome.. We also made cheeseburgers yumm..

ice cream shop

my feather!!

these were like the best cheeseburgers ever.. and of course i had a gluten free version but we think we have made the best cheeseburgers in the world..
