26!

I turned 26 on Sunday. I absolutely love when my birthday rolls around, however, I do not like to see that I am getting closer to 30, Yikes! I did have a fantastic birthday. On friday Josh took me to this restaurant called Blue Nile. Its an Ethopian restaurant that has lots of vegan dishes. It was a total new experience and I really enjoyed the food! You dont use silverware, instead they have a crepe like bread that you scoop the food with. On Saturday we went out with the family to P.F. Changs--which has the yummiest vegetarian lettuce wraps-- and then we went to see Joseph and the Technicolored Dreamcoat at Mesa High. It was such a fun night! On Sunday Josh and I tried to make homeade vegan tamales, which turned out pretty good ( in fact I am eating one right now for lunch) and then we put up all of our Christmas decor. I love seeing the tree up! It was a total perfect weekend. Plus I got some great gifts--thanks fam! My fave is my Kindle that Josh got me. Now I am more of a bookworm than ever!

Happy Halloween!

Nothing exciting happened this year for Halloween, but it still was a good time. Friday night we had a bonfire at Usery Park and ate some veggie hot dogs ( not too shabby). Saturday we went to my cousins wife families house and they made cotton candy and we just hung out. Sunday we had pumpkin stew and made homeade caramel apples, which is my favorite Halloween treat. I do look forward to the days when Josh and I have little munchkins of our own that we can take trick or treating. Disneyland was by far the highlight of the halloween season! I love this time of year and next Sunday I will be putting up my Christmas tree. So stoked about that. Hope you all had a fun Halloween!

Really?

So the good news is I absolutely love my job. The bad news is when PMS hits I tend to get annoyed with my students usual antics. One of my favorites is when the I give the girls directions and if they don't like the activity they ask me, "do I have to do it?" REALLY? Come on. No you can just sit out and sip some tea when we do an activity you don't like. Instead of exercising in P.E. you can just watch from the sidelines. Oh girls, why do you love to whine so much? Good thing PMS only lasts a week and good thing I have so many wonderful students who make my job fun!

Trick or Treating at Disneyland

During the Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party we got to trick or treat as we went from ride to ride. We got lots of yummy candy to enjoy as we walked around the park.

The villans were out to cause a scare, so take a picture with one if you dare. We dared!

So the Disney Halloween party was a total success! We were able to just walk on to the most popular rides like space mountain, thunder mountain, Indiana Jones and Haunted Mansion. I have never been to Disneyland when I didnt have to wait in lines for like 40 minutes so this was a total score! Plus they had an awesome villan themed fireworks show. And to top it all off I got to hang out with my best friend cousin, Candice. I get to see her about once a year so it was such a treat that we happen to be going to disney at the same time.

Come Get Worked On!

Josh is nearing the end of Myropractor school! Hooray! He just got his table and now he needs to get his clinical practice hours before he graduates. For those of you wondering what the heck a Myropractor is, let me tell you. Myropractors are similar to Chiropractors but they focus on the whole body every session and not just a specific spot that hurts. For example if your knees are bothering you, Josh would fix your knees but he would also correct the whole body because when one part is out, it can cause other body parts to move. Josh needs lots of people to practice on so he can become better and get his hours for graduation. If you would like to get worked on please text me or Josh or comment on the blog and we will set something up. He is open Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. In a few weeks he will also have Monday evenings open. You would be helping Josh out and all the sessions are free until he graduates! You would need to come to our house for your sessions because that is where his table is for now. Thanks!

Reunited and it feels so good!

Josh came home last night. He was gone for a week and I totally missed him. It was so nice to not sleep alone last night. But I did do some fun things while he was away
1. Read mockingjay. I almost cried reading it, it was a pretty sad book but I still really liked it. The last 2 lines of the book before the epilogue made me get emotional...I finished it a few days ago, but I re-read the last few pages like 5 times and I still keep thinking about the book.
2. Spent hours shopping at whole foods. Both weekends Josh was gone Reins and I spent hours hanging at whole foods. I am not sure what it is about that place but we just freakin love it.
3. Went to pomegranate cafe and got vegan chocolate pomegranate cake that was freakin yummy!
4. Had a slumber party with my mom and sister. They are always so sweet to me and they babysat me over labor day weekend. I love you guys so much!!!! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Time to drumroll for the most exciting thing that happened this last week....

We booked a trip to go to the Disneyland's Not So Scary Halloween party over my October break! It is going to be so fun. We have never done it before. They have a special parade, fireworks show, trick or treating, live entertainment and you can go on the rides too. Best Halloween celebration ever!

Now Josh is back and we are going to have a lazy day together, spending all day in bed and drinking sparkling blueberry juice in our champagne flutes. Yep this is the good life!
