Happy Halloween!

Well today was halloween and we had a party at work. It is so much fun with those girls. They really do know how to have fun. We had a potluck and played some games. And then tonight we handed out candy. There really wasn't very many people tonight. There seems to be less and less each year. I don't know if we even had 50 kids. So we have lots of candy left over. But anyways I wanted to share with everyone my pictures from today. I decided for our potluck that I was going to make a cake called Kitty Litter Cake.

Well didn't I come up with the idea to dress like a cat today and then surprize everyone with the dessert. It was a really big hit. Well except everyone thought it looked so really that they didn't want to try it. LOL

So that was the excitement around here.

Josh Is Doing Great In Ireland!

Well Josh is doing great in Ireland. He just had his first transfer. He is now in a place called Carpenterstown, which is like a suburb of Dublin. The Mission President has made him the senior companion with an Elder that has only been out 6 weeks. Also the area he is moving to has just been opened one transfer. So lots of work and responsibilties ahead for him. But he is really excited and can't wait to start a new adventure. He just had his first baptism on October 18th.


He said it went really well and Christina was so happy. Her mom was even there. And I was so excited because he sent us pictures. He really is loving serving the Lord. He said it is the best thing he has ever done. We are so proud of him and happy that things are going so well.

Oh here is a story he shared with us. I thought you would all enjoy it.

We were walking back to Ian's house and this girl was like have you seen a dog?? And we saw one run past so we were like YUP, and she went one way with ian and me and elder urano went another way, we found the dog, so i grabbed it by its collar, and walked it back, and we sat waiting with the dog, and i was covered in what it looked to be mud, and we thought the dog was really muddy, but it was dark so we couldnt see. But we pulled out the phone light and shined it on my hands and it was blood! My hands my white shirt, by suit jacket and pants were aboslutely covered in blood!! I was like ahhh heck this isn't good haha So we had to go back to Ian's to wash up and wear his clothes. haha It cost 14.50 to get my suit dry cleaned! It was ridiculous!!! But hey that was my week! : )

Thankgiving

This past weekend was thanksgiving and had the opportunity to go and spend time with both sides of the family. We had dinner at the Musson's on Sunday. It was so good to see everyone again. Debbie and Jessie's children are getting really big.

Kharma and Logan

Then on Monday we went to my parent's house. There was about 22 people there. It was great to see everyone. We were so glad the weather was so beautiful so that everyone could be outside. The temperature was around 26 degrees celsius. We are so thankful for family and for opportunities to see all of them.

On the way home we also saw some beautiful fall colours.

Well Christmas and New Years will be in the west this year!

Well we are heading to Nevada and Idaho for sure and possibly Arizona or California for the Christmas holidays. It will be so nice to spend Christmas with Jacquie and Ryan this year. We missed spending it with them last year. We will miss having Josh with us, but it will be nice to at least have everyone else there. And I must admit, I'm not really sad to miss the winter weather for a few days. This will be the first Christmas since we have been married that we won't be spending with our parents. It will be really different for us, but I'm sure we will enjoy it.
