Snow, snow, and more to come!!!

Now that it is after Thanksgiving, and quite the Thanksgiving did we have, we can now play Christmas music, and put up our decorations!!!

But before I talk about all of our Christmas plans, I am going to talk about Thanksgiving! We traveled across the state to visit my parents in Olympia. I had to leave Sunday, to go to Portland for a Jewelry Show. The weather leaving wasn't bad at all. It had just started to snow in Pullman and on the way there was no snow. Monday night, it snowed, and in Portland that means EVERYTHING comes to a stop. I was planning on leaving at 7ish Tuesday to avoid rush hour, instead I waited until 9.30-10. It still took me an hour to travel 15 miles! There was not snow on the road nor was there ice!!! I did make good time after I got out to the Portland area. Then when I got into Olympia! The roads were treacherous! I was glad that the lady hosting the show in Olympia decided to cancel due to weather!

Other than crazy drivers and bad winter roads our little vacation was good. I was able to spend some time with my new sister-in-law. Still not sure what I think of her. She is nice, but a little naive, but so was I at 19. Here are a few pictures from the wedding.

The Happy Couple

Me and my little Sister 

One day his face will get stuck...

Can I use this as our Christmas card picture...

We came back to Pullman Saturday, and there was a good TWO FEET of SNOW!! And it keeps coming! We haven't been able to park and unload the car yet, because we can't get up our drive way! I am going to make a snowman soon... Maybe tonight for FHE we will...

Babe, Babies Now!

I can not WAIT to have babies!! I am crazy about them all! Fat ones small ones, funny looking ones, hair no hair!!! School, Babies and Jewelry is what I think about almost all the time everyday! One day a few weeks ago Brody sent me an email to this link... The Ritmo

Since then I have been thinking about the playlist for that nine months it takes a bun to bake...

1. Classical Era--including and not limited to: Motzart, Schubert, Bach, Hayden, Beethoven
2. Baroque Era--also including and not limited to: Bach, Handel, Schultz
3. Romantic Era--Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Strauss I and II, Wagner, Tchaikovsky
4. Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd--I know they are quite a difference from the above genres, and some might be thinking we will be having drugie kids, BUT, I always have enjoyed the bluesy guitar.
5. Queen, AC DC, and other classic rock--enough said
6. various Jazz composers-- Duke, Ray Charles, Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Barry White--I second what my dear friend Lynsi says here... My children will more than likely be conceived to the wonderful big band jazz composers of the dawn of jazz.
7. The Beatle's-- I sometimes wonder if I was born in the wrong time period...

Brody has his own list of what he wants the fetus to listen to... They Might Be Giants, Barenaked Ladies, The Verve Pipe, Collective Soul and he says no Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd or AC DC...

What nerds!

Brody is taking a pre-calculus class this semester and is currently studying the famed Unit Circle!!! If you have never heard of or don't remember this most integral part of your math studies, SHAME ON YOU! No really! Tisk tisk! Now go here and learn all about it! This will change EVERY thing!!!

Now that you have learned and been enlightened. You will share our joy in the desire for:

Yes, we are crazy, but we love it all!! I am totally getting one for the office and the far in the future baby's room!

My FAVORITE Time of the YEAR!!!

I LOVE AUTUMN!!! I love the crisp air, the changing leaves, APPLES, and the change in the weather!! I am so excited for this fall because it is the LAST fall that I will be in school!! (One can be excited for that alone!!) I am also excited for all of the holidays and celebrations, Thanksgiving, St. Nikolaustag, Christmas decorating, and Christmas!!!

This year we will going to my parents in Olympia for Thanksgiving and staying here for Christmas! Which means, Brody and I get to have our own little Christmas at home right before or after Christmas, not the week before!!! I might be more excited for the glazed ham and homemade scalloped potatoes than for the worldly gift-giving craziness, but that is because I love food too much!

We are also headed to Olympia this weekend (actually today and Friday) for my brother's wedding. I am not to sure how it is going to be... But all I can do is be supportive.

Happy Autumn Everyone!!
