Curious David

Isn't he just soooo cute!  

We were out Christmas shopping, which we do like all the time!  We love just seeing what's out there, more like window shopping I guess since we don't end up buying all the time.  Although we also want to decorate our home so we do buy sometimes...

But then my sweet husband wants to smell all the candle flavors.  Whoops!  I had to take a picture of course - I couldn't stop laughing :)

He's preparing me for kids huh?  That's what we both say....

Leaves

Fall is so beautiful in the mountains.  Last month we took a drive to "our spot" for part of our date night.  The snow fell the next day, so we were lucky to see the beautiful colors and lovely sunset.  David was so cute to take me there...  This was again where we had our first date, and then where David proposed.  Awe.

All the leaves are gone and it's beautiful and white around here.  (Positive attitude about all this cold... right??)  We have lots going on right now with school, work, home, future vacations... that Thanksgiving and Christmas will be in the past before we know it.  But hopefully we can enjoy time as it is...  even with mid-terms ending, Andrea's work spinning out with all the changes... we still are enjoying the time.

Treasure Hunt

One day I came home from work to find the house looking totally different than I left it.  David has evening classes and sometimes on Wednesday's he gets to come home and study.  Well one day while at home he was very busy, but not with studying.  He spoils me crazy!


David left me a sweet note telling me to have dinner, relax, put my feet up and watch TV or a movie or something.


He did the dishes!


He cleaned the house up!


He bought our vacuum a new bag and then vacuumed the whole house!


He left me little notes - one on the table to my computer, to his computer, to the bathroom mirror, to a drawer and finally to a Take 5 candy bar!  (my favorite candy! and I just love notes)


It really was the best to come home to that.  If only he was there too - but he did come home and we relaxed together.  Really, I don't deserve him, but I'm just so glad he picked me.  Sometimes all I do is work and then come home and work and go to bed.  I forget about dishes or laundry and he's right there to help out all the time.  Hopefully someday when I'm at home more I'll figure out how to be normal wife huh?  But I do like that we share responsibilities the way we do.  I hope I do my part, sometimes I just can't tell, but I try :)

Thanks sweetheart - you are one in a million!!!!!!

Halloween 2010

This past weekend we've been busy with all our Halloween events.  We love this holiday.  David loves to decorate for all these holidays coming up, so that makes it even more exciting!  Even though it's getting cold and snowy and rainy... these holidays sure do make it brighter.  And the fact that I have a partner to celebrate it - has been wonderful!  (I heard from a 2 friends that their husband doesn't help them with their kids as they go to parties, trick or treating, etc. - no way! I feel bad for them and I'm sure many moms)  Anyway, great memories for us!

• We started decorating mid-September!!  And have yet to take it down
• We found and carved pumpkins twice, already posted about that 
• We love to window shop for halloween, so we definitely did that a couple times
• Halloween movies!!  We've watched all that we could think of - Ghostbusters I, II, Casper, Hocus Pocus
• And some other SCARY movies... yep, we rented and saw a few on TV

Then actually around Halloween - we didn't have costumes, well David did have his Ghostbusters shirt - but I needed one for work.  So the night before at 11:30pm we headed to wal-mart.  I just ended up getting an orange shirt and colored my hair like below:

After my crazy work party - that honestly takes so much work for us who plan it - and then all these kids just come and trash it all up... But they like it so we keep doing it...  After the work party we did another Halloween movie and Saturday we invited the whole Clark clan over before trick or treating to do sugar cookies.  I cooked them all and had them all ready.  The kids came over before trunk or treat at the church.  Then we went to the Clarks house afterwards to hang out, eat, and do more trick or treating.  Here are some pics...
