Davids hair is gone....all gone....at least in one spot anyway!!

David was giving himself a haircut on Halloween before we left to head up north to see family and while he was cutting it he thought he was done so he took off the 3" tip thing, then felt his hair, and thought that a part needed a little bit more trimming, so he picked up his buzzer and started to "trim" and just has the buzzer he realized that he didn't put the tip back on. The poor boy. He was horrified. Where he cut is to far up to shave up but it is big enough that people will really notice. His hats don't cover it, and he doesn't know what to do. I say we should carve the word I C E in his hair...I think it would fit nicely and look real cool.

At church today David got lots of questions about what happened and one of the guys from the ward offered to fix it. David took him up on it, and even though he didn't make the slice disappear he made it less noticeable. His slice isn't near as noticable and

I think he looks fanstatic!

You wanna know what David and I will look like in 50 years....here is a preview...

So for Halloween I was having the hardest time coming up with a good costume for both David and I. I will admit I am one of those people that loves couple costumes and David is always so good to go along with it. But this grand idea of a future idea I got from my wonderful mother-in-law while David and I were talking to her over the web came. David asked her what we should be and gave us this idea! It was a smashing hit. We made everyone laugh.

We are going to be one VERY good lookin' couple when we are older!

Happy Halloween!

The morning of Halloween I went to breakfast and watched a movie with some friends of mine, Amy Weston and Addie Condie. We decided that in the spirit of Halloween we would dress up and then come back to my apartment and watch Hocus Pocus. I had never been to Kneaders but they swore it was so good and so that is where we went. Amy talked up the french toast telling me it was some of the best. So I had to try it, and I was not let down. Thier french toast was delicious. We had so much fun, and the movie was great! We are all huge fans of Hocus Pocus! Breakfast and a movie....with wonderful friends.....what a way to start the day!

The 2nd annual Smedley pumpkin carving....

My PumpkinDavids pumpkin (sorry I don't know what happened to the rest of the picture. There is a hunted house under the bats. It looked so cool.)

Last year we had some friends come over for some Chilli and pumpkin carving and we had so much fun doing it that we decided to do it again this year.

David made some chilli (Holly Smedley's receipe and davids favorite chilli). He made two differerent batches one with ground deer meet and one with plain beef.

and to be honest the deer meat batch wasn't half bad.

After we had all finished eating we got our pumpkins out for carving. We had different patterns, and fancy tools to make carving very easy.

The pumpkins turned out so good! Daivd always puts in so much work into his and his looked fantastic!

Shelly Brown (after she had done her duty of cutting off the lid) went to work baking some pumpkin seeds! I had never had ranch flavored seeds before but they were delicious and I would recommend them to anyone.

David is on the far left. He carved a haunted house with bats flying and mine is on the far right and I carved a crow flying.

A good way to end a bad day....

After a long day of school, and not fairing to well on a math test, I officially deemed the day to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. So I called up my good friend Holly who had an equally terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day and we decided to not let it get the best of us and we went and had a girls night out dinner at Red Robin! And let me just tell you while we were there we had one of the best waiters I have ever had before. He was fast, and nice, and he brought us out french fries without being asked and before we had even ordered! He didn't hover but close enough that our drinks never got below half. He was excellent.

It was the perfect way to end a bad day.

Thank heavens for good friends!

Happy Birthday David!!!

The Big 2-4

Davids day went kinda like this a present with breakfast, a present at school, a present at work, a present at lunch, a present at dinner and a huge suprise for cake and ice cream.

I wanted to make Davids birthday an all day expierence. So I had bought just little things, like a drink and a candy bar, for him to find at the places he went. I had decorated the apartment for when he got up and had made some orange rolls, and then he went to class where Johnny gave him the next present, then to work, and we went to lunch at chick-a-fila (his new favorite place to eat) then later that night we went to eat at Wingers, and then when we got home I had worked it out with my neighbors to come down and give David a big suprise. I am really proud of myself. He didn't expect a thing!

Happy Birthday David!

Well......my hair is gone......ALL GONE!!!

So my hair got to the point where I couldn't handle it anymore so I chopped it.

Originally my goal was to grow it all out then cut it all one length

and I reached half of my goal!!

I cut it all one length!!

I cut a good 4-5 inches off and it feels great!!!

My hair is so easy to do and doesn't take near as much time!!

David even said that he loves it!!

Man I should have done this sooner!!
