I'm not a huge fan of the Halloween holiday..... but carving pumpkins is only a once-a-year thing, so it's kinna a must! Besides, it will be a cute scrapbook page! And even though I didn't 'gut' my own pumpkin, it was lots of fun! Diana wanted to roast the seeds, but we didn't really know how, so we experimented and just added cinnamon and butter..... and they turned out pretty good!! Saturday is the multi-ward YSA Halloween party - it should be fun, but I still have to figure out what to dress up as! In the pictures - Me and Cameron with our pumpkin; Diana and the seeds; Rob, Me and Diana with some of the pumpkins; and some of the finished pumpkins!

All Growed Up....

Well, I guess it was bound to happen sometime, I think I'm starting to grow up! I have been living in Portland for 4 1/2 months now, and I'm still loving it here! The rainy season has started, and so far, it's not too bad. We'll see how I'm doing in January when I'll be missing the Utah snow.

It's weird to think that I'll probably never go to school again, instead, I go to work everyday. I am now an official employee at Promopeddler.com - with a salary, full benefits, and best of all, I get 2 weeks of paid vacation!! It's a pretty good job, and for the most part I like working here. I'm planning on staying for at least a year, then possibly moving on to bigger and better things - like a job and a studio apartment in downtown!

I finally bought myself bedroom furniture! After 3 months on a blow-up mattress, it was about time! I got a queen size bed, a new mattress (that's not full of air!), all new queen sized bedding, a dresser, a desk (with red legs!), and 2 chairs for our patio! I feel very grown up spending my hard earned money on things like furniture and rent, and not new clothing or shoes! (not to say that doesn't still happen ;)









Life is good! :)
