Lunch Date

This weekend has been filled with a lot of fun for me. I had to plan a lot so that it would make Lukes trip to Idaho go by fast. Friday night I was so brave and slept at my house all alone. For anyone who doesn't know where I live- you would understand why I would be scared if you ever came out here! It is in the middle of nowhere. Anyhow, Friday was just filled with studying for yet another Midterm. Saturday I woke up, went to the good ole' BYU testing center and got a fantasitc B on the test (YEAH! I will take it~) Then I picked Mother up from the airport and then the fun began~We hit Foothill Village, Babinski's, Chicos, etc. Our goal for the day was to find a Birthday outfit for my mom because she is turning 50! Next was the Nordstrom Rack- talk about disappointing! The best part of the day was when I got to have lunch with my best friends; Abs and Roo (careoline). We ate at Pei Wei in Sugarhouse. It is always a pleasure beyond measure to spend time with them. As you can tell we thought we were so funny! The topic of Blogging came up over lunch and they decided that blogs were for married people and Facebook was blogging for singles. Too funny. After lunch we continued our shopping and were successful at Chico's by the University mall. I am so excited for Mother's birthday!

I ended up sleeping at my neighbors house last night. My friend Anja has 4 little girls so we just had a little GNO. They are the cutest family ever. Now I am just waiting for my Hubbie to get home and I can't wait!

Hunting in the backyard

Tonight was definitely a first in the life of Alicia Marie- Please believe that I got home from work and Luke was out waiting for me with his dad all decked out in the CAMO! Luke informed me that tonight is the perfect night for a beginner and that I was going with them. He had my camo out and ready. So out we headed to the corn fields behind our house. The next step in our journey was setting up the decoys- what a hoot that was. I had a hard time not getting the giggles as Luke and his Dad were getting all into it. As you can tell from the pics that my camo was really flattering- I look like a camo chunk! So being my first time hunting I didn't realize that you can't take a swig of your Diet Dr. Pepper as the ducks are flying in and you gotta hide your hair so Luke insisted that I wear the hood. It is pretty serious business. Needless to say Luke ended up getting 2 green heads and a Hend and it was a good time had by all. When we were all done we left the decoys there because they are heading out to the same place right behind our house, "They'll be back in the morning"! Bright and early at 6 am Luke and his pops will be out and ready to get some more while I will be ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Fall

My favorite time of year has finally arrived! Except that school has been keeping me so busy that I have yet to enjoy a good day of fall. This past week was full of midterms and assignments and it was a little rough to say the least. I had to do some retail therapy if you know what I mean?! First it was a trip to my all time fave Target. Then it was off to Banana and Nordy's and then to end the day I finished with dinner with my hubbie, and Dev and Hailey accompanied us to yet another favorite place of mine- Cafe Rio!!!! So although it was a rough week I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. Today when I got ready for church I actually was excited because I had a new ensemble. Sometimes it just feels good to have a few new items in the closet. I figured it was better for me to take a little break from school and do some shopping to get my mind off of it- then to drop out. I owe a big thanks to Luke for putting up with me this week! (Man was I a BEAR!)

Today I also got to go to my old ward. It was so good to see familiar faces, drive down memory lane, and be back at "home". It was Meg's brothers farewell and he did an awesome job! I am so excited that Cannon is going on a mission. While I was in the old hood I decided to do a few drive by's for old times sake. I drove past Caroline's house, Ab's, Jara's, etc. I loved the Willowcreek area and I am so glad that I was able to grow up there! If only someone would have been in the car with me- listening to good old Sound of the Sabbath on FM 100 and going down memory lane, let's just say there were some good tears to be had!
