Happy Halloween!

I was hoping Friday work would still be cancelled, since outside it still looked like this:

Sadly, no go. Work was still mandatory. I guess it was a good thing though since our work Halloween festivities had been cancelled along with work the day before, so we had a "make-up" Halloween party.

My co-worker Lindy and I went as condiments.

Last night Will and I went to our ward Halloween party.

Will was Spock.

Check out those ears!

I didn't really want to be mustard without a ketchup for the ward party....

so I went as a "trick or treat" witch

Ignore the missionary jumping into this photo : )

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

It's not even Halloween yet!

Snow storm .... in October?! Well at least it gave me a day off today (Thursday) and they let us out of work early yesterday. Will had the day off anyway yesterday - and he was actually anxious to go to work today. He had cabin fever from staying inside with nothing to do. I luckily got to use today to get some homework done!

This is what we woke up to this morning!

Me after Will had to pick me up from work yesterday:

Will by my car - with the accumulation from yesterday:

...and this morning after more snow accumulation:

...and it's NOT even Halloween yet!!

Our pumpkins look so awkward by the snow!

Oh... and guess what? It's still snowing.

What does this winter have in store for us?!

Finished Product

Here is our finished product - our carved pumpkins!

Carved while watching Casper last night.

We think Abby's not too sure about 'em:

Will's is obviously the left.

Mine is obviously the right.

: )

We're going to carve pumpkins!

General Conference weekend Will and I did the Breast Cancer Walk along with some of my co-workers. I had never done the Breast Cancer walk before - it was crazy how many people were there! Next year we are going to wear more pink!!

It was so cold and windy!

Will was not bundled up like the rest of us!

He was even wearing shorts!! brrrr.....

This is a few of the people from work who participated.

There were so many people that some Noble people didn't make it

to our "meet-up" spot because they couldn't find it in the crowds.

I'm in the back 2nd in from the left (I blend in)

This part down Federal was crazy.

There were soooo many people it seemed like it wouldn't end!

Will and I (with a sun flare)

Some people went all out.

Next year we will too!

As for lately happenings - nothing too different. We've been enjoying this fall weather! Although, it has snowed a couple times already - but we also see lots of sun! We went to a local pumpkin "yard". Not really a patch, but there is a local habitat for humanity group selling pumpkins near our apartment - and that's where we bought ours this year. We actually plan on carving them tonight! We usually just let them sit without carving them.

Will is starting at a new Home Depot store on Monday - and hopefully he'll have more Sundays off and more flexibility at this store (we hope).

Work is the same for me - going well - and school is going well. I actually like the online format. I went to a dental hygiene orientation at Community College of Denver the other night to find out more about the program and I am uber excited!!! I like this picture - this is what happens when I have to study when Will is home (I usually try to do homework only when he's not there). He'll try and do something quiet and read. One night after work I noticed it was too quiet while I was at the desk doing homework and I looked over and saw this:

: )

I'm not sure Abby is as thrilled about Halloween as we are.

Our pumpkins are taking up her "space" on her favorite window sill.

I'm currently making pumpkin cookies and watching Hocus Pocus until Will gets home. I'll be sure to take pictures of our carved pumpkins. Yay for Halloween!!

Haircuts and Broken Cars

So for recent events - I cut six inches off my hair last night! It was becoming unruly and out of control. It was a tad scary, but overall I am pleased. I am always unhappy with a few pieces - but thankfully with my background with hair, I can usually use my hair razor and fix them.

Before (all combed out):

After:

Lots of Layers:

Notice my sweatshirt from work - Will and I are participating in the Breast Cancer Walk this Sunday as part of the Noble Energy Team. It should be 68 degrees and sunny - so it should be a beautiful fall morning!

Will got a haircut this week too (from me, of course):

Since my starter went out we had my car towed to the mechanic this afternoon. Watching cars be towed is always fun - well maybe only when it's your car. (also fall is here! - yellow trees!)

My plan is to sell my car as soon as it's fixed. We'll see if that happens or not. I always think I'll sell it when things are bad - but then everything works again and I don't see the value of selling the car. We shall see.

And just for fun - because we are obsessed with our Abby Cat!

This is the catnip mouse that Abby chases everywhere.
