Anniversary, Lighting, St. George, Vegas -again

Our anniversary was 11/11/10 (Veteran's Day) Year #4. We had really wanted to celebrate by going to New Orleans and visiting the Cox's. We thought we had a free flight by signing up for this credit card but of course there were restrictions. I repeatedly asked them before I signed up if there was any and they said no black out dates but failed to mention that there were seat restrictions. So, of course on the days that we wanted to go we couldn't get the flight out that we wanted and Ryan is in the middle of a big project at work so we couldn't be flexible on the dates and prices were too expensive on the days we wanted to go. So, instead we ate at this cool new restraunt in Provo called Sparks where the food is in smaller portions but very good. Then we stayed at a hotel near Park City, went hottubbing and the next day was spent doing some shopping and eating at the delicous cheese cake factory.

Ryan installed some cool lights over our bar. It so nice to have some extra light there so we can actually see the dishes were washing. Ryan spent several hours with the help of our friend & neighbor Kyle and it looks awesome.

We took my sister Penny and drove to St. George for Thanksgiving this year. We had a delicous Thanksgiving meal, played some pickle ball (life size ping pong) which was fun, played games and watched a documentary of the "best worst movie ever", and then actually watched the best worst movie, Troll 2, if you are ever bored and need a really good laugh this is the movie to watch, I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time. Again, we tried getting up early to get a tv we tried getting last year on black Friday. I didn't totally wuss out this year like I did last year, but again we got there about 1/2 an hour after the sale started and did not succeed. I've decided its not worth it. You either have to fully commit to the whole thing by not going to bed at all and actually waiting in line instead of thinking you can just go when it opens. That night Ryan went to a Pink Floyd concert in Vegas. Tickets were extremely pricey so I did not go to it, he went with his sister and parents and said it was the coolest concert he's ever been to and is still talking about it. Me & Penny decided to tag along to Vegas with the group so I could introduce Penny to Vegas for her first time. I know she will want to put some pics on her blog so I'll just do a few.

At the MGM Grant right before the concert.
Penny's first glimpse..
Look at us in these cool unpaid for sunglasses...

ha ha I actually started this post Monday and its now really late Thursday night... Yea, for the weekend is almost here

Octoberness

It has been a busy month. A couple days before Penny's birthday, my sister-in-law Becky and adorable niece Liberty were in town for a few days. So we met them at BYU and watched

Penny's championiship intermural team put another win under their belt and then pigged out at the all you can eat cafeteria near penny's dorm as you can see from our millions of plates on the table.

Ryan's goint to make an awesome dad some day....

Then we headed to Vegas because we had a couple of free nights stay at the Riveria (not the best rooms but at least they were free, although we had to go to a travel sales pitch to get the free stay so we definitly paid for it.
Every time we go to Vegas we go to the Bellagio gardens, this month of course it was a creepy Halloween theme.
Ryan's band played at Velour.

It was a really fun show especially since a lot of our friends came and supported, here are the fans in their cool Egan's Theory band shirts.
I just realized this came thru sideways and I cant figure out how to rotate without re- loading it and I am not feeling up to it. But this is our first Halloween party at our neighbor's house. We kind of threw these costumes together last minute. For anyone who doesn't know Ryan does a hillarious gay guy impression so we decided to go with that theme. I am kind of a crazy model and he is my gay fashion designer:)
Played some fun games at the party and had yummy really creative Halloween treats.
These are the girls... I thought i got a picture of the guys but I guess I did't.
This is our second Halloween Party at our friends house. I am crazy haired-Ryan's guardian angel.
