Once again...

We're moving! It's kind of a bitter sweet thing. We are so sad to be leaving our friends here in Logan, but kinda excited to be starting new things in our lives. We are moving to Draper, UT the beginning of January. We found these really cute apartments for a good price. The thing that sold me is, the FIREPLACE in the apartment, and a HOT TUB! The reason why we're moving is, Ryan is now graduated and is hoping to get a job with REAL salt lake ( a soccer team here in Utah) If he doesn't get that job we have some other things lined up, but I really think he will get it. Also, I have been talking with my friend Aubrey and she works in a Dental office down in Sandy. She said she can get me a job there part time for the first two months and then probably full time starting in march if i can handle that and school!! I would be a Dental Assistant there. I still haven't found out any news about the Dental Hygiene school that I interviewed at in Orem but probably will in the next 2 weeks! So, we're keeping our fingers crossed, lots of good changes are about to happen.We will be enjoying this hot tub a lot!!!

Graduation time!

Ryan has made it through college!!! Today was this last day of classes, and lucky him doesn't have any finals! He is majoring in Entrepreneurship and minoring in Spanish. I'm so proud of him, this semester he has worked so hard and got all A's in all of this classes. So, because of how hard he worked, my loving parents got him a very nice new set of golf clubs yesterday! I got them in the mail and then hid the golf clubs in our downstairs closet where he always goes first thing after getting home to take off his shoes. He opened the door and was shocked to see new golf clubs! He was so excited, and can't wait to try his new clubs out. Thanks so much mom and dad!!

So much to catch up on!

We'll start with Halloween....

This year for Halloween, we went down to Shawn and Ashley's house (Jaimee's sister's house) For a Halloween party. We actually celebrated Halloween the night before this year. It was a lot of fun, we played lots of fun Halloween games, had tons of yummy food, and watched a scary movie at the end of the night. We didn't head back to Tyler and Jaimees' house till almost 3 in the morning we were having so much fun! Ryan and I dressed up as Harry Potter and Hermione!! Thanks to my friend Allyx who mailed me all of her Harry Potter gear that she has, Our costumes turned out pretty good. The whole night Ryan really had fun acting like Harry Potter, he was the best at posing for pictures.
Tyler and Jaimee dresses up as bikers! They really fit the biker look, and Tyler was really good at acting his part too. It must be a Griffith boy thing.
Todd and Kimiko were Ninja Turtles! Love the leggings Todd!!

The whole group of girls that were there! There was a pretty good turn out.

I ended up making some spider cupcakes... they looked better than they tasted but they were still good.

We got to decorate a little bit this year since we are no longer living in the basement! We had a lot of fun decorating our window for halloween.Our two pumpkins, usually Ryan wins the pumpkin carving contest... but this year, I WON! Mine is the first one and Ryan's is the other one. Ryan was done carving his in 5 minutes and it took the rest of us probably an hour. We carved pumpkins with our friends Connor and Kylee this year...Pumpkins from left to right: Ali, Kylee, Ryan, and ConnorI know we've said this before but we love our friends Connor and Kylee!!! Recently on October 24th we went down to Salt Lake to see them get sealed to their little boy in the temple. It was the coolest thing I've ever been too... during it I had mixed emotions. They included laughing and crying, their little boy was just the cutest in his little suit they got for him.

My new Obsession!!!

Last night a couple of my friends, Kylee and Shannon, went to this Zumba fitness class.  At first all of us were a little nervous to be making a fool of ourselves in front of people we didn't know.  But it was such a fun experience!   It's an hour of dancing around to music, it doesn't look like it would be too hard.. but 10 minutes into it I was drenched in sweat!  Ever since my first Zumba experience, it's all I can think about all day long and I can't wait till next week to go back!  If you guys find a Zumba class near you to go to, YOU SHOULD GO!  Here's a little clip below of a zumba class, ours involved more shakin' your booty.  

Aren't you excited!

Mad Hatter Party!!

For our first halloween celebration... we went to a Mad hatter birthday party (Alice in Wonderland) for our good friend Aaron!   I looked everywhere to find ryan an outfit for the mad hatter or the king of hearts but couldn't find anything.  So, he ended up being the bunny that can't be late for a very important date! I think it turned out really well, even though he kinda looks like a chippendale dancer with his jacket off!   And I was Alice in Wonderland, I just used my costume from last year for dorothy and made an apron for it.

I loved Ryan's mini vest!  I went shopping at DI and the only vest that I could find was  a kids medium.  For some weird reason I thought it would fit him fine.  Well guess what it didn't end up fitting him too good, I had to make some major adjustments but it worked!

Me and Aaron's wife Kayti. She was the Queen of hearts, her costume turned out really good!

Here is Ryan with his old mission companion, Aaron, the birthday boy!  He was the perfect mad hatter!

Kayti did such a good job with all of the decorations,  lots of tea pots and yummy food!

Aaron blowing out his candles!  Happy Birthday!

And of course we all played a round of crocket.  I was horrible at it, and ryan beat me each time, oh well.

And Aaron and Kayti's cute nephew was there! 

Thanks Aaron and Kayti for the fun party!  I'm glad we made it down and that we have you two as friends! 

Brady & Sara's Wedding!

I should be preparing my relief society lesson for this sunday but I guess I have a hard time focusing on one thing for too long!  The lesson is on family, so why not post a blog about my brothers wedding?  

Brady and Sara got married this past Wednesday in the Salt Lake temple.  The night before we had all of our family and most of Sara's family up to a cabin in

 Brighton for a dinner.  My parents cooked some good texas brisket, and we had pies for dessert!  Little did we know that something in the dinner would cause food poisoning.  We think that it was the lemon pie, but still aren't sure?  So the night before the wedding about 6 people threw up throughout the night, including the bride, She still

 looked beautiful.

Enjoy some pictures from the wedding!....

My mom gave Ryan and I strict instructions not to do this at our wedding!   Now I'm wishing he just did it anyways, oh well!

The happy couple is now on their honeymoon in St. Thomas.  Oh how I wish we could go back on our honeymoon!
