Happy Thanksgiving!

Well Austin and I cooked our first turkey this year. It came out great! We invited Austin's brother Andrew and his wife, Johanna over to for thanksgiving this year. So it was just the four of us. I decided to keep the food to the basics so that I could actually enjoy the day also.
We went and saw the movie Enchanted in the morning. Us girls enjoyed it I don't know what the boys thought! Then after a yummy dinner was nap time and then an exciting USC game that night.

One of Austin's mission companions, Tyler Calderwood invited us up to his uncle's cabin in Coalville to spend the night on Friday with two other couples. We had a fun night of games and laughs. There was no running water because they turn it off in the winter so the pipes don't freeze. There is a pump outside that gets water from a fresh spring so we used that as our water source. Really made us apprecite running water, especially Austin since the boys had to go to the bathroom outside!
After breakfast we went out to shoot some guns! I was a little nervous but I actually shot my target on my first try. Watch out!
Unfortunately I had work at one and the BYU game was at noon so we headed home after the shooting. Austin got a free ticket to the game and was so happy to be there to see BYU beat Utah!

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by my friend Jamie. So I'm suppose to tell you 6 interesting things about myself, if i can think of 6 things.

1. I absolutely love to cook. I love trying new recipes. I try to try at least one new thing a week. (sometimes that doesn't always happen)

2. I'm really OCD about things being left open. EX: cupboards, drawers, closet doors, the shower curtain etc. Everything just looks so much nicer when it's closed!

3. I love to sleep in. You would think that I would still get to enjoy that luxury since I don't have any kids yet but I do have a husband who happens to be a morning person!

4. One of my newer favorite hobbies is tennis. I love to play. Austin and I used to go at least once a week before it started to get cold. Kind of ironic it took me this long to start playing again since I grew up with a dad who was a tennis pro.

5. As much as I hate getting ready for bed at night and doing the whole routine (which seems that I have made exceptionally long) I can not sleep if I don't do it. I'll continually wake up all through the night till I finally roll out of bed to do it and then find that I'm very awake and I lay there for at least an hour till I can fall asleep again. Better to just do it!

6. Austin and I have recently started renting old movies. Surprise, I love them! We've been watching Alfred Hitchcock movies and having a great time. I'd love any suggestions on other old classics.

So now I tag.... Audra, Katie, and Sidra (I don't have a lot of friends who have blogs, so I only know 3 people who haven't been tagged.)
