Next time wont you sing with me.

Today Chad P and I went to a place called Cascades. Its a river near their house with little trails around it. It was fun. 

Here's a tall tree and the trail map....

My handsome husband...

 Part of the trail had some slippery stairs... we made it safely. 

 I don't have a winter jacket so im wearing chads and, im on a stump. 

And heres some winter nature.

Chad, Me, Kasey, and Jordan all went to a Christmas Carol play the other night at Fort Williams. Fort Williams is an old fort. It looked pretty cool. The play was in one of the old buildings and the "stage" was like in the middle with all the chairs lined in a big circle/rectangle shape. I really like the Chrirstmas Carol story and I thought the play was pretty good. 

Here is a google picture of what the fort looks like. We took a little bus from a visitor center and it drove us here.

Here's Jordan and i in the visitors center with a native thing...

and.. Kasey, Chad, and Jordan ready for adventure.

 And.. Chad Parr and i.

This is my man page.

We made it to Canada with the Parrs! It was pretty rainy all the way there. I guess our flight into Duluth was the first to make it there in about 2 days because of bad weather.

Canada So far...

Its was Jordan's birthday (actually it wasn't he just delayed it until we got here so chad could be there for it) and he had this fancy angry birds cake which ended up being made with glass pieces in it. So no one ate it.

 Its cooold outside. Chad played with Mckensie and Duke outside. But not for long.











Mckensie and I are becoming little buddies. I let her borrow my camera. She's quite a natural.

Jordan also took some pictures... mostly of Mckensie. Posing. I think they are cute. Thats why there are a few.

Tomorrow we are going to watch the Christmas Carol Play.

let us bring it home then.

My family sent us a Christmas package full of lovely things! 

Chad is now an official part of the family with his remote control camera helicopter, and I have my sewing machine! We also got my favorite truffles (the best chocolate ever. ever.) Chad also got an angry birds board game which i'm excited about. Its funny because now its the only board game in our home. Also Michael and marry got us a little love quote book that has some cute pictures in it.

 Darcy also got some presents this year. She got a laser pointer, this little toy thing (which she likes the best), and some treats.

I'm just about done with this semester! About 5 more little assignments?

Chad and i went to idaho falls the other day so we could pick out my Christmas present. I picked out some clothes. Im looking forward to them.

I only have 2 more days of work until I'm off for Canada! Im looking forward to not vacuuming and taking trash out of garbage for a couple weeks.

I have lots of clothes to go through to put away and decided what to pack. Picking out clothes is difficult. I asked chad to do it for me. He wont.

Speaking of Chad. We have been married for 100 days!

Here is a list of things we have to do before we go to Canada, on Wednesday!

• Buy more kitty food.
• Get $50 cash for scotty
• Let the apartment complex know scotty is our emergency number
• Mail my families Christmas Presents
• Mail Barbara sa her present
• Clean apartment 
• Give Darcy a bath

Look at me now. Im makin paper.

I'm taking a class for my minor called Money Management. I had to write a paper about the New York Stock Exchange. I looked at their website and Wikipedia'd it and just could not understand. So I decided to try Youtube to find a "how it works" video. I've done this before for an Understanding DNA class i had and some times it worked out and helped a lot. And, in this case it worked out very well. I found this cute little video about the New York Stock Exchange and was able to write my little essay about how it works.


I know its nerdy, but I suggest watching it. Its actually quite interesting and kind of funny.

You know time wont wait and you'll be late, white rabbits on the run.

I had a good feeling about DI this morning. So we went, and i found this really cool suitcase for $5. What im planning on doing is making it into a cat bed for Darcy. I first saw these on Etsy quite awhile ago and thought they were so cool. Here are some examples....

And here is the suitcase i bought. Im thinking about painting it a different color. Not sure what color yet? Maybe a blue? Maybe not paint it?

The watchmen chose the moment.

I know im being a bad blogger. I'll get better soon. Promise. 

A week and 2 days until we go to Canada! And school is over! I am hoping to get everything done this week so I won't be hurrying to finish stuff. But I make these goals every week, so we will see if this is the one time i don't put everything off till the last day. 

A couple days ago we decorated the tree, so here is that. And also a cute little picture of darcy saying hello. And picture of darcy looking crazy. And then finally a picture of darcy playing.  

And here is a picture of use trying to take a picture together. Didn't work out the best. But i am fond of it still. 

We bought my families Christmas presents the other day. Today i wrapped them all up. They will be mailed off soon. Maybe. I also bought a cute little cup shaped as a penguin for Barbara that i have to send as well. 

We've been looking at cat collars on Etsy. Found this one i like but chad doesn't like the color.

So maybe a silver?

the bomb has been planted.

We finally got some shampoo and gave darcy a real bath. She didn't like it too much. She was so sad...it was cute. 

So nothing big, but our bowl we use to keep the keys in is darcy's new water bowl so and today i found a replacement. I used a old bread cutting board and took off the grate so its just a little tray and put our two candles, keys, mail holder, and some fake apples and pine cones (50 cents at walmart) inside it. Now every things not just laying around on the counter. 

Robot learn love.

Today I made one of the recipes i found on Pinterest. It is a braided bread with spaghetti and mozzarella cheese inside. Here is the original...

[http://rhodesbread.com/blog/blog/braided-spaghetti-bread]

And here is mine.... it was quite tasty. If i were to do it over again I think I would add more spices (i didn't include meat like the original recipe, because I don't like meat with spaghetti) and maybe some extra sauce. 

Here is what it looks like on the inside.....

And here is some more of Darcy!

She started climbing in our christmas tree. 

If you walk away i'll walk away.

As you may notice i changed my blog header for a Christmas theme. I googled vintage christmas and there are some very cute pictures. The one in my header is one of them. Another is this one to the left.

I also think its funny how since i've gotten darcy all cat things seem to be cuter then they use to be.
