Gare and I got flu shots yesterday. As many of you know I am deathly afraid of shots! I did really good this time though, I didn't even cry! I did start feeling a little sick as soon as we entered the doctors office and my palms were so sweaty! Gare was mean and was laughing at me the whole time. The nurse did  really good, she was super fast and I didn't even bleed! We were in and out in about 10 minutes, and we got our shots for $15.00 each. That is a pretty good deal if you ask me! We traveled down to West Jordan to get them, so we got to eat dinner with my family after. We had yummy potato cheese soup in bread bowls. It was so good I love bread bowls, THANKS MOM :]] Anyways, I think you should all be proud of me for not crying when I received my flu shot. The End.

purple? blue? black?

Hey all!  It's me, Care and I'm guest posting here on Pres's blog.  Because, let's face it, I rock.  Anyways, back to the reason for this here post.  Presley's pants ripped.  A big ole hole, right in the sweet spot.  Sad, no?  They were her favorite pair.  So, today we came over for some dinner and some fun-ness because we are their bestest friends evah.  She had on this new pair of pants.  Well, they were old to her but new to me....I'd never seen them before.  She asked what color they were and I answered "blue" because they were.  She asked Brent and he gave the same answer.  Then he said "well they do have a little purple in them" because they do.  Garett also said they were blue.  Presley hates us all because she thinks her pants are black.  Well folks, I'm here to let you know that they are blue.  Blue.  BLUE.  And a little bit of purple too I suppose.  We took a picture of the pants, loaded it on the computer, and bumped up the brightness to see what color they really were.  Sorry Pres, but your pants are soooo not black.  But, if it makes you feel warm on the inside, you can pretend they are black and we won't judge you too harshly.  That's all folks!

We Are Awesome

I was looking through my pictures on my computer and I came across these. . .


Awesome right? Garetts Grandpa Kofoed uses it. The first time we went to moses lake I saw this contraption and immediately thought of Harriett the Spy, that old lady with the pink hair uses one! Gare tells me his Grandpa uses it to loosen up his muscles after long days workin on the farm. I have to admit it is very relaxing :]] I am also very happy that I got to give one of these babys a try! Cross that off my list.

Halloween

We had a very fun Halloween weekend. We started it off carving pumpkins with the Hirzes. We enjoy getting together with these two! Garett and Brent can be geeky nerds together and Car and I can be crazy together! It works out great :]] They came over to our place and we ate dinner, and had root beer floats (this has become somewhat of a tradition when they come over). Then we got to our pumpkins, Gare and I picked up the pumpkins earlier that day because we had to go to winco. I Picked out a cute little one and Gare decided to get three massive ones for himself, Brent, and Car. They were so heavy and dirty! We had to wash them off in our bath tub when we got them home :]] Turns out that Carolyn got the yucky pumpkin, the inside was all moldy and nasty! She made Brent clean it out for her, what a good guy. So here are our pumpkins. . .

I did Jack and Car did the monster!

Look at Gare hard at work!

Gare carved batman and Brent carved a skull, but I don't have pictures of theirs all lit up :[[ I will have to track some down.

After some fun pumpkin carving with the Hirzes, Gare and I went to THRILLER. I just love love love love it! I have been 7 years in a row and it never gets old. This year we even got to see our family member perform! Jessica Norris. . . I think she is like my cousin? Anyway, she is a great dancer and it was fun seeing her in the show she did a great job :]]


Gare and I also went to a haunted house with Megan and friends! We went to Nightmare on 13th, and it was so scary. I basically crawled through the whole thing. When something scary would jump out at me I would just instantly fall backwards. . . its a reflex? Everyone was laughing at me the whole time, but I was seriously scared! I think I was more entertainment to the group than the actual haunted house! It was so much fun though. Garett said that if a plague of zombies took over the world we wouldn't last long haha. After the haunted house we went to Megan's parents house, ate dinner and played games! We played this fun game called "Time's Up" It was very fun, but Garett was terrible at it. He has a terrible memory so we didn't make a very good team and we lost :[[

Aside from losing terribly at "Times up" I'd say we had one pretty spectacular Halloween weekend!

Getting Settled :]]

I am a little bit board so I decided to update my blog and make it cute. Anyways, Gare and I are happy as can be just getting settled into the married life. We have finally put all of the finishing touches on our cute little apartment, we love it here. It is so nice to finally be living together! All of our stuff is in one place, no going back and fourth between houses, it is so nice knowing we are driving to OUR place at the end of the day. Here are a couple of pictures of our newly decorated apartment. . .




Cute huh? Anyways I decided that I am going to try and be a better blogger. Try and at least do a post or two a month, I think I can manage that! Well so long for now :]]

XOXO Pres

Summer!

I just love summer time! This year Garett and I have been so busy with school, work, and wedding planning, summertime seems to be slipping away much to quickly! Welcome to the real world I guess right! Luckily the two of us have found time to slip in some fun summer time activities. About a week ago we went to seven peaks water park, we really enjoyed the boomerang and the wave pool! The best part is we got to go for free thanks to Garetts sister Deidra who gave us her free passes! Thanks Deidra! For the 4th of July Gare and I went to the Stadium of Fire! It was so much fun! The weather was perfect, we got to celebrate Americas birthday, see Carrie Underwood, and amazing fireworks! Garettes cousins Michael and Andrew were in the show too! It was fun to see them, they got to march in with the rest of the boy scouts holding American flags. It was a very neat show, I am glad I got to experience it with my Garebear :]]
