Last Piece

So I think it was back in September I wrote about how Ashley, Lindsay and I couldn't find the last piece to the puzzle we had been working on. Well today while Ashley was cleaning out her bedroom at Carriage Cove (I miss you married lady!) she discovered the very last piece under her bed! How it got there I will never know but at least now there is an end to the wondering. Ashley, you shouldn't steal peoples puzzle pieces! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I went home for Thanksgiving, and it was a lot of fun. On Thanksgiving I got to see some friends from High School, Percy, Laura and Brandee and Brandee's new boyfriend. It was great to be home for almost a full week. Brandee spent time showing me the benefits of living in LA again... I think she thinks I've forgotten them. We went to pinkberry for frozen yogurt (didn't see any stars) and then we went to Sprinkles for cupcakes (didn't see any stars there either, but I did pay 3.50 for a cupcake!) I liked pinkberry and would go again, but sprinkle's wasn't spectacular. They were cool looking cupcakes and had interesting flavors but they weren't worth an hour drive in holiday traffic and almost 4 dollars. The vacation was nice, but I'm glad to be back. I missed everyone up here.

No Tag Backs!

Well Shannon Tagged me and said she would be checking up so I figured I better get a move on it. So here are 5 things very few people know about me… This is a hard one because I don’t even know them about me. No, let’s see, I snore. Now this is something most of you reading this know but not that many other people know. No just kidding, I’ll take this seriously.

1. I am a disorganized person (I’m getting to it ok, don’t just say “I knew that”) ok so I’m a disorganized person but even in the mess if someone moves something I could tell you what they moved. Along the same lines, I can walk in familiar spaces in the pitch black without falling over every ten seconds or running into things. I guess you could say I have a very good sense of direction. I can usually figure out where I’m going.

2. I have dreams that come true. I have had several dreams of things I had no idea would happen that later did. I guess I have a little bit of ESP. No not ESPN… but I do get that on cable.

3. I’m a number nerd. I make puzzles and games out of finding number patterns in things. Like my friend Ashley who just got married today, November 17, 2007. Well her sister Brittany got married on August 17, 2006 and I am convinced that their sister Lindsay should get married May 17, 2008 because that is the next month to have the 17^th on the weekend and then all the girls will have a different year in their anniversary with the same date of the month and the months are 8, 11, and 5 all three apart… I guess that means I should go for February 17, 2009! HAH! J/K!

4. I fear change. Things change and I know I can’t stop them from doing so, but when things are different I always get a little anxious, wondering how I fit into the knew way of things. I once cried because my parents got rid of 20 year old couches while I was out of town visiting my sister and didn’t tell me.

5. Ok, this last one is going to make me look a little crazy…. I talk to my car. It doesn’t talk back to me or anything, I just like to say hello to it when I haven’t seen it in a long time, offer it a little encouragement to turn over on cold mornings or apologize when I treat it poorly. It makes me feel better sometimes. My car is a trusty friend and it listens when I don’t think anyone else wants to.

Well that’s it. those are the little known Amanda facts I can think of right now. I don't really know who to tag. I guess I tag Ashley, the newly wed.

THEY MADE IT!

Congratulations Bradley and Ashley! I am so happy for you. You make such and amazing couple.
I love these girls so much!

The send off... Look at all those bubbles!!

sticky spots

I made caramel apples tonight! Something I have been looking forward to for a while now. They didn't turn out as pretty as I had hoped but they still look impressive. I was quite impressed with myself for actually having the energy to do anything after work. I had to return a plate to someone and I couldn't take it empty so caramel apples it was! Now maybe I'll work up to making the carrot pineapple cookies I have been craving for about a month!

CONGRATULATIONS CAITLYN AND WILL!!!! I am so happy for you guys and little Chaela (ch-A-la) could not be any cuter.

Football Frenzie

I thought that I had fun at the last football game I went to.... and I guess I did, but some how night games are so much MORE fun. Last Thursday I took Brett and Bowman's tickets (Thanks again guys!) and my friend Sean and I went to the game. It was a close game and just more exciting to watch than the last one. I think that there is something about watching football in the cold air with the flood lights on that just makes you realize that that is how it should be all the time. Football is meant to be played on crisp fall evenings. That's my opinion anyway. I guess it could also have something to do with the fact that Sean is a really fun guy and we spent most of the time between plays just goofing off. Which ever it is, BYU beat TCU!!!! 7-2 baby! (5-0 conference)
