Good News!

We have new pets! Little Voldemort (green) and Sirius Black (brown). They are little tree frogs and our pride and joy. Every day I go and look at them in their little home and try to find where they are hiding. They kept swallowing their little rocks at the bottom of their terrarium, so we had to put dirt and leaves in there instead. They are a lot happier. We have bought them crickets a few times (of course only Jameson feeds them) and the crickets kept escaping! Scared me to death to find one sitting by my on the couch, or creeping across the carpet. They are very sneaky, and too small to make noise, so I just had to keep my eye out for them. Luckily the frogs ate all of them, and now Jameson just feeds them random bugs he finds outside. He always makes sure they get equal amounts of food. Sometimes we take them outside and play with them, they love to hop around and play in the grass. They are so cute!

[All of these were taken on my phone, so hopefully the quality is alright]

Besides playing with our pets, we don't do much. Jameson works and does his internship at the city library's bookstore. I just go to my class and then go to work!  It has been great weather to go on walks, crunch through leaves, but mostly we stay inside to keep warm and watch movies! I make soup, hot chocolate, and baked goods when I get the chance, and sew a lot. All in all it's been a perfect Autumn so far. 

Joy to the World...

Fall Semester is over!  Woo hoo!  I'd actually have to say that this was probably my favorite semester of all of college.  My sewing classes were so relaxing and fun.  I learned...well I didn't learn too many new things, but it actually gave me time to just sew!  I spent so much money on fabric, but I got a lot of finished products too.  My family classes (covenant marriage, and family relations) were very fun and informative.  I feel like our marriage just keeps getting better.  The past few weeks have been crazy, with all the studying, sewing, unpicking, hand sewing, papers, reading, etc.  Yet Jameson always found time to do some dishes, and we made time to watch mostly every Christmas movie on Netflix, cheesy and all :)

I can't believe it, but in just a few days we will have been married for 11 months!  Woot!  That's almost one whole year!    We're spending the 22-25 with my family in BC, and it will be our first Christmas in a lot time with all of us there, and also mine and Rachel's first Christmas being married.  It will be so interesting to see how it all works out.  It's crazy to think that we were just about to go to Texas last year at this time.  We're going to head there the day after Christmas and then come back around the 1st.  It will be a great holiday to be able to get to see all of those that we love! [I also cannot wait to be in the nice warm weather of Texas!]
I love this time of year, it truly is the best.  Everyone is just so excited to be done with school, to go Christmas shopping, and visit family.  I can't wait to make some Christmas treats.

I've been thinking of some goals...and I think I really want to start being more craftsy with my time.  I have these ideas of clothes I want to make, and hopefully I will actually commit to making some.  I'm off this semester (til April) and all I'll be doing is working (boring).  We'll see what happens, but I hope to post some pictures soon.  Here are some random pictures of the past little while...

School's in Session

Well we are finally through the first two weeks of school.  It's such a drastic change that it's really hard to plan everything out and prioritize!  Some days I don't even see Jameson until 8 or 9 at night because our schedules clash.  We're both working about 20 hours a week.  Our lives are too boring to blog about now.

The past few weekends were very fun!  April 15th was my dad's birthday, so we got to go home and hang out with my family.  We went to ABC Mandarin, my very favorite restaurant.  The Saturday after, I went with Rach and my mom to my aunt's house for another wedding shower.  It was really fun to see all my cousins.  Sadly, Jameson was really sick that weekend, but he still got to hang out with my brothers and had fun with them. But my car broke down, and that delayed our return a little.  When we got back on Monday, we got to meet up with Jameson's parents and ate dinner with them, his aunts, and grandma.  Then we went shopping at winco!

April 22 we went down to Provo to see the rest of his family, for Jillian's graduation.  It was fun seeing everyone and just spending time together.  We went out to eat, and went shopping, and then played laser tag.  It was really enjoyable.  I also got to spend time with Rachel, Holla, and Anna.  I feel like I haven't seen Holla and Anna in so long.  It will be hard with Anna living in North Carolina now, but I'm sure her and Daniel will love it. Change is really good sometimes.
