busy being crafty

my friend kara had posted a blog about some fun halloween crafts she made and inspired me to do the same! for the last week i have put off all my homework and made some halloween decorations. these were cute, fun, easy and best of all CHEAP to make. most of the supplies i already had at home.

I made these pumpkins out of rolls of toilet paper and i found that BOO sign for $1!
These are my favorite!
the ghost is made out of an old tupperware container
the pumpkin is made out of a glass jar
frankenstein is made out of a glass vase i found under our sink.

i love making crafts! im starting to look for christmas crafts to start on so if you have any ideas let me know!

18 months

today is our year and a half anniversary! i know 18 months isnt that long, but i just cant believe it has already been that long! time really does go by so fast! and speaking of fast, the semester is almost half over already, halloween is just around the corner, and then before we know it, the holidays will be here! really, where does all the time go?

it snowed here the other week, thank goodness it was gone by the afternoon
we got a bread maker from jared's parents back in the summer and finally got around to using it conference weekend. jared became quite the domestic husband and made a loaf of bread and a batch of cinnamon rolls. they were yummy.
our good friends trae and candice had their little boy last week, so we drove down to pocatello to see him and them. he was so cute, and so so tiny. congratulations trae and candice thanks for letting us come and crash at your place for a little bit, we miss you guys!
jared is gonna make a good daddy someday

in other news, i got accepted onto fastgrad, which means HELLO GRADUATION in JULY! im so excited i cant wait to just be done. hopefully jared follows me in a year and then its on to MORE schooling for him... sometimes i catch myself daydreaming of living in a house with our 4 perfect children, and jared's perfect job that brings home more money than we know what to do with. then i have to think to myself that its never going to be just me and jared again, and i need to enjoy the stage im at right now. even if we are stinkin poor and going to school... although we might not think so right now, our life really is easy. and i really am enjoying every minute of it :)

(tonight its only going to be 17 degrees for a high brrrrr. hope everyone stays warm!)
