A few week's past...

Well...so I forgot about posting this because The wonderful picture was trapped on my camera and not in plain sight to remember to post about it but oh well here it is.. better late then never!
So a few weeks ago Joe and I were delighted to be able to go to my sisters play "A choirs Line" at the pioneer theater in salt Lake City.I felt so privileged to be able to go to this musical because it is one I have always wanted to see but Joe and I never would have been able to afford going if Ashley was not in it. This theater company is a professional company who hires majority of their cast straight from the Broadway cast and pays them a lot of money to fly out here and live here for 2 months during the run of the show. Ashley (My sister) was one of the lucky few who got hired into this 20 person cast as well. They only take about 5 actors or actresses from the salt lake area to be in this production and the rest are from the Broadway cast. It was very exciting to see Ashley work side by side with all these amazing actors and really get an opportunity to showcase her talents in an outstanding venue. Ashely played a main character and sang a whole song with one other guy which was so funny. She did an awesome job and we were so proud to be able to see her in this production. Congratulations Ashley!

The type of weekend i'm sad has come and gone...

So after a relaxing fall break and beautiful fall weather, Joe and I thought we would make the most of my time off school and work. We went to Gardner village were we enjoyed the fun festivities and adorable costumes people were wearing as they walked around in the cooling fall breeze. The shops were filled with all those fun decorations and exciting atmosphere of the exhilarating fall activities there are to do this time of year. Below are some pictures of Joe and I enjoying the day and walking around the cutest shops ever and amazing Halloween decorations that were everywhere.





After coming home we thought we would top the evening off with watching "The Proposal" and...



Baking these yummy for our tummy fall/ Halloween cookies...



As well as laying back on the couch and eating this Halloween favorite treat!



After relaxing and enjoying our weekend thus far we spent our Saturday night watching "The Couples Retreat" with our friends Jessie and Mindy. We HIGHLY recommend this movie to any couple that just wants a night of fun and plenty of laughs. Great Movie and well worth the theater price! After watching our movie we went out to dinner at Rumbi (witch feed me for the next days lunch as well) and was much needed and well deserved after an eventful week and weekend!



Happy week all!

This Week...

This week was a busy one! I made it through the last week before fall break and am so excited to have next week off of school. I'm so happy to finally be able to just catch up on papers and so forth. This semester has by far been the most stressful and difficult semester of school I have taken yet, and I am very excited for it all to be over. I found out on Tuesday that I for sure graduate with my BS in Human Development and Family Studies & Early Childhood Education This May!! I even turned in my graduation application, so it's official!
I have been sick all week and am just thankful that for work I survived enough so I could make it through parent teacher conferences yesterday. I was very happy and glad to report my parent teacher conferences ALL went really well and that every parent is happy with how their child's education is going thus far!! yay for Sophie (My co-teacher) and I!!!!
We also found out some exciting news in our family this week as well! Joe and I were delighted to get the call from his sister Cassie and her husband Dave, that they are welcoming a new member of their family, to make a family of four. They have one child right now, David. So either a future boy or girl is going to join their family May 9, 2010 (The same weekend as my graduation)!what an exciting time May will be!
Congratulations Larsen family on being pregnant!


That's all for now have a good week everyone! :)
