Something to look forward to...

So my family flew to Hawaii today for Thanksgiving without me so I'm just trying to think of things to look forward to to keep myself from being depressed. The number one thing on my mind these days...

1. It's official...Case and I are going to COSTA RICA. We just bought our tickets (cleaned out the skymiles...it was pretty hard to do:( and confirmed the hotel! I hope January comes sooner than expected. Due to my new job we do not get to go home for Christmas so this trip will have to make up for it :)

2. Thanksgiving in California

So since my family is in Hawaii...we thought it would be a great idea to bring Casey's whole family to California and stay at my house! Plus Casey's Dad's family lives out in Long Beach. We are looking forward to some sunshine and the beach!

last year Thanksgiving at Americana.

fall FUN catch up!

Wow...so here is a photo overload of what we have been up to lately. Between Halloween, BYU football games, my family coming to town, Casey going all over for work (including Texas and another BYU game) and me taking a little trip home we have taken a lot of pictures. So here they are!

One of only crafts I've made. I was pretty proud of myself. I invested in a glue gun and all.

We painted our garage! and the whole foundation of our house with the help of Casey's family.

Last weekend I went home with Becs. It was so warm!!!! Like a summer day at the beach minus the crowds (I guess people in S. CA get sick of the weather and don't appreciate it like I do).
