36 Days

I'm so excited for Christmas! I love the christmas lights on houses, I love drinking hot chocolate, and this year I'm even more excited to have our own christmas tree. Two weeks ago Landon and I were at Smith's Market Place and they had the cutest christmas trees on display so I made him let me buy ornaments for the tree! They are cute only red and white and I can't wait to put the tree up. I told Landon we need to do it this weekend or else nothing will get put out until after finals and then that's only two weeks before christmas. He makes fun of me that I'm so excited, but I can't help it. Tis' the Season!

DRUM ROLL...

I registered for my last semester of classes!!

I could only be happier if Thanksgiving was here and finals were over. The end is in sight and I'm so excited for precepting to be here. I was supposed to be at Primary Children's Hospital, but at the last minute Weber State lost the spots they had so now I'm just waiting to find out if I'll be at Ogden Regional during January (not looking forward to driving up there 3 times a week in bad weather) or LDS during February. I'm really disappointed to not be at Primarys because I wanted to be with kids, but either way I'll learn a lot.

I probably won't see hardly anyone during the month of precepting. Doing 36 hours a week at the hospital and working for 15 plus going to school, taking tests, sleeping and trying to keep up with cleaning and maybe cooking every now and then doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else. Good thing my husband helps with everything around the house and even cooks if I ask him to. Precepting will be over before I know it and then it's smooth sailing from there.
As busy as nursing school has been I love it!

You may or may not be able to tell what Landon and I were for the Daly halloween party.
As we walked upstairs Beckham said, "hey, cheetahs" we said no guess again, the next guess was cavemen. Oh well, pebbles and bambam were before his time. Landon thought we didn't even need halloween costumes since we don't have kids, but since this was a costume party I made him wear what I made. I thought the idea was clever since I came up with it on Saturday and the party was Wednesday. It was cheap and required very little sewing.

We ate dinner in a pumpkin which was pretty good and then the kids played a couple games for some fun halloween prizes. Here are a couple pictures of everyone all dressed up.

Kevin and Emilie's family: Kevin-David Beckham, Emilie-Black Mail, Karaia-Tinkerbell, Beckham-Skeleton, Tennyson-Spiderman and Sanders-Elephant.

Jeremy and Danica's family: Jeremy- The Beast, Danica- Sleeping Beauty, Belle- as Belle Aliyah: Cinderella (she had little glass slippers and a pumpkin carriage)

Candace was a Queen and here we are all together minus Jim, Greg, Lyndi and Mckinley. Next year Landon is in charge of the costumes so we'll see what next year brings.

Nocturnal

3:00 am
Landon: "Hey babe could you give me some space"

Me: (in a quiet, tired and confused tone)"How much space do you need? I'm on my half"

Landon opens his eyes "Sorry, I love you" as he falls back asleep

A couple weeks later

1:30 am
I wake up to Landon standing at the end of the bed pulling on the blankets. I asked him what he was doing. He mumbled something and two seconds later was back in bed. Morning comes and I leave for work before he gets up so we don't talk about it. Later he calls me, I ask him why he got out of bed during the night and was pulling on the blankets. We laughed about it for a while. He didn't even remember this until I asked him, but he still had no answer as for what he was doing.

My conclusion: He sleep talks, sleep walks, and can be entertaining even in the middle of the night.

Good thing we like each other or he wouldn't want to share the bed and I wouldn't be ok with my sleep being interrupted.
