Turkey Trot

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!

Last year Joe and I ran the Turkey Trot in Cottonwood Heights with his family and this year we did it again. Joe beat us all. He has been training real hard.

I caught up to Cheri, but once she saw the finish line she took off running and left me in the dust
I'd like to think that I was so fast that Sam couldn't see me coming to take a picture from the front, the truth probably is I was so slow that they were bored from waiting and couldn't see me coming.

After the Turkey trot we headed down for dinner in P.G. with some of Joe's family. It was yummy. Then we went to dinner #2 at my friends Fairy's place.

The Richards family usually goes and sees at least one movie on Thanksgiving, and so to try to keep that tradition alive we went to a movie. I love Thanksgiving!!!
Once we got home I was able to decorate our house for Christmas!

I can't believe its been 6 months!

Yesterday Joe and I celebrated our 6 month anniversary! I think I can speak for the both of us when I say that the past 6 months have been the best time in our lives. I love you hunny! And I am so excited to share so many more anniversaries!

Daydreaming

So today in class all I can think about is.....

Maybe its because my brother and sister in law just got back from a 10 day cruise, or maybe its because school and work has been so stressful that I need a break, or maybe its because Joe has been studying so hard for the LSAT that I feel like he deserves a nice trip. I can dream can't I?

Body Worlds

I have been begging Joe to come with me to the Body Worlds exhibit. The reason why I was so excited to go was while I was at BYU I took the human dissection class. We would prepare the cadavers for the anatomy students so that they could learn from them. This was the most fascinating class I took while at BYU! I learned so much about the body, and it really strengthened my testimony of the gospel.

Everyone needs to go to this exhibit if you haven't already! We invited my parents to go, but they both laughed and refused. (they never enjoyed the conversations I would have with them when I would tell them after class what I got to dissect)

You don't need to know anything about the human body, it doesn't smell in there, it is just amazing. I would suggest getting the audio guide if you don't know much about the anatomy. Don't go on a Friday night, it is way to crowded, and hot.

I was a little sad because I have been researching body worlds before it was announced for them to come and the cadavers I wanted to see weren't in this exhibit, but they still had amazing ones. One of my favorites was the archer lady and the man they cut into 3 sagittal sections, it was crazy!

Pumpkins

So on monday night Joe and I carved our Halloween pumpkins. Here is Joe hard at work.....



Here is Joes final product. He carved eyes for it too. It is some type of an animal, maybe a dragon?

Mine is just a classic puking pumpkin.

Halloween Time

So Joe and I have been looking forward to Halloween for a really long time! While I was visiting him in DC last year Joe came up with ideas for halloween costumes.

We were able to debut our costumes this past weekend at one of my life time best friends Catherine Wolfgramm party. It was also fun to go and see my sister and her "friend" Ben...we were able to have a few laughs with them. So in case you can't tell what we were dressed up as...
I was "Holy Cow" and Joe was "Bull Crap"

Joe could not help but play with the hilarious utters on my costume.

"Now that is bull crap"

What our baby would look like

Some of my friends have seen what their babies would look like through this web site and it got me wondering how we could do.
What do you think of "Peter"? I think he totally looks like Joe, with his hair, and smile, but he does have my nose.
