Two changes

We have now officially moved and added a car to the family!

This is super belated. I always planned on taking pics with BA and I outside our door and with our new car but we never got around to it :(

About five months ago our previous landlord came to us saying that he wanted to start renting our condo to singles. I have to admit that my heart broke a little bit. We lived in the condo about 2 years and have loved it. I really feel that it was the best condo to ever exist, plus we bought all of our furniture to fit it. After I got over the sadness, I went to work. A few weeks later we found the new place we call home. I don't love it quite as much as I loved the other place but it is closer to work and school and (and it's a big and) it's the same complex that Summer and Steve live in. It's been super fun to be so close to them. I'm sure Steve's loved the times when I've been over late being crazy with Summer :)

third place we've called home

Bryan's had Thin Liz (94 Toyota Camry) since he got home from the mission. He bought it from his Grandma Liz (hence the name Thin Liz). She's been a good member of the family, but we decided it was time to have two cars. We decided to follow the tradition of naming the car after a grandparent - so to finish off the Harrisons we introduce Studly Scudly (07 Toyota Camry). As you can see we're fans of Toyota Camrys!

When I wrote this post about 3 months ago I said: It's been really great having the convenience of two cars, but I do miss the pick-up and drop-off service that Bryan has been providing me (I don't think he misses it quite as much as me though!)

Now as I'm updating the post: Thin Liz decided she needed a little break. Bryan was driving her a few weeks ago and she didn't sound too good. We haven't had her checked out but Bryan's dad comes in a few weeks and we'll have him take a look. I was a little nervous when we first bought the new car. I wasn't sure I liked the idea of making monthly car payments. I'm glad we decided to take the plunge or else we would be without a car. It's funny how things work out.

A Night for Frights


Last night Bryan and I began our Halloween Excitement. We went with Conrad and Kali to Thanksgiving Point's Cornbelly's Corn Maze and Cornophobia.

This was my first time going through a Corn Maze. My thoughts. . . .it wasn't easy! To be honest we didn't actually make it out the way we were supposed to. But it was fun :)

The haunted corn maze (Cornophobia) was actually pretty fun. They had things that we haven't experienced at haunted houses before. For example - an abandoned bus.

There are also a lot of kid activities and the tickets you pay for are good for pretty much everything at Cornbelly's. So, it would be fun to take the kids earlier and do the kid activities and then the adults stay for the corn mazes.

We'll keep you posted on our other Halloween adventures.

Community

Bryan and I have added another show to our TV lineup. It has sort of an Office or Arrested Development feel to it.

I believe that it was the series opener and it was seriously funny. If you like either of the two shows above - I would suggest trying it out

I am really adding too many shows to my list - oh geez

Oh and p.s. this was my 100th post (finally made it)

um ya - that's right


About a week ago I decided that I wanted to try something I've never done before.

I signed up for Beginners Ballet. Let's be honest - I have no dance experience! And I signed up a week and a half after classes began.

I have found that I am not coordinated, I can't jump, and a black leotard and pink tights do not flatter my figure :)

I thought ballet would be a fun way to add working out into my day. It turns out ballet is a work out. . . .but the fun part I'm not sure about yet. Oh and I decided to join in with some girls in my ward for a six week boot camp. Let me just say that my legs hurt so bad that I can't even describe it.

Oh the beauties of trying something new!

Oktown

About a month ago Bryan and I went to Okanogan! Most of Bryan's family still lives in or around Okanogan, so it's so fun to visit and see everyone. We realized that we hadn't been back for a year and a half (yikes!). Rae was off helping Dave and Amy with the new baby so we didn't get to see Rae or the Arizona Attridges which was a bummer, but hopefully we'll see them soon. The highlight of the trip was going to the Omak Stampede. At the stampede they have the world famous suicide race. There were like 15 contestants who rode horses down an extremely steep hill and into the stadium. Before the race they had a bunch of rodeo type competitions. It was so fun! (I didn't know I had any cowgirl in me) All of the girls got matching cowgirl hats to fit in. My only complaint is that I wish it was a longer trip! Seriously everyone we need to get together again soon

First Week of School

Bryan just finished his first week of school of his last year at BYU! I thought to commemorate the experience I would show flashbacks of Bryan's younger school days :)



(looking good BA)
