Hooray for Christmas!

Christmas is only five days away! I can hardly believe it! It is by far my favorite time of year. You can wear long sleeves and jeans and close-toed shoes (namely my Frye boots!). It has been really fun having a house to decorate. Although I've found that it's not as easy as it looks when my Mom does it. I did my best though! I put up the Christmas lights all by myself though. I think the neighbors were laughing at me but I think they are just beautiful! Knowing myself, I probably won't post again before Christmas so I hope everyone has a great Christmas and that they don't get coal in their stockings! Ace should but he's my little baby so he's getting a rawhide candy cane instead. :) Merry Christmas to all!

Brrr... It's Cold In Here!

Living in Arizona for so long has made me weak and unable to handle any temperature below seventy degrees. We just barely turned the heater on but most of the time I am still cold. Ace and I figured out a new way to stay warm that benefits both of us. And it's funny!

Happy November!

November was a big month for us. We had Jacob's birthday on the 11th which was a lot of fun. He's a whole 24 years old! I made him pancakes for breakfast and steak for dinner (the boy loves his man meat!) We also had Thanksgiving. I think I ate the most this year that I ever have. We didn't even have any leftover mashed potatoes! I had to sit on the couch for a half an hour to wait for the pain to go away. We had fun playing Squabble with my family. It got pretty cutthroat near the end but it ended up with the boys and girls each winning one game. Can't wait for next year!

A Fixer-Upper

We've been trying to fix our house up lately. We (yes, I helped) fixed the broken kitchen window. It's not the prettiest window ever but at least it doesn't have a hole in it anymore. We're also attempting to grow pretty grass in our front yard. I spread the seeds and Jacob put the manure on top. I wasn't about to touch it. Hopefully it grows! We also have flower pots because nothing will grow in our flower beds. :( Our house will be beautiful yet!

Lucy, I'm Home!

We had a great halloween here at the Jensen house. We had a lot of trick or treaters but ran out of candy at like seven thirty. (Probably because I ate a lot, oops!) I had fun dressing up but was happy by the end of the day to put my pajamas on. We watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and I was excited to sing the songs which have been stuck in my head for at least a month. Too bad I've been singing the words wrong! Can't wait for next year!

This is Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everybody! I have to say that Halloween is one of my favorite hollidays of the year. Half because of the fun costumes and the pumpkins and half because of the enormous amounts of candy. Jacob and I carved our pumpkins tonight and they look awesome! I have to say it is the best carving I have ever done. I can't wait to pass out candy to the little kids, if there is any left by Wednesday. :)

Discoveries

I discovered a bunch of interesting things this weekend. First, to not let Jacob take naps anymore (he gets way too hyper!)

Second, that I look better with bangs than I thought I would.

And lastly, You're never too old or too manly to play with barbies.

Happy Fall!

I have decided that it is now officially fall. Not only is it cooler (in the 80's, woo hoo!) but it just has that magical fall feeling. And, in celebration of that fact, I am trying to figure out something new to do with my hair. I am getting it done on Friday (by the lovely and talented Jenn, of course) and I need suggestions on what to do. Maybe darker? Any ideas?

The Late Night Visitor

We were in Tucson this past weekend for labor day. We got home last night at around ten o'clock and were unloading our things when I see this bug fly into the car through the open door. I thought it was a moth which wouldn't be that big of deal. However, it wasn't a moth, it was a cockroach! Yuck! I am definitely not a bug person and cockroaches are the grossest of the gross so I freaked out a little bit. Jacob and I spent like a half an hour trying to get it out of the car. He even put his headlight on to try and find it but no such luck. I am hoping it jumped out the door when we were trying to hit it and not that it has decided to start living in my car.

Orange or not?

We just started offering this spray tan stuff at work and today I got to be the guinea pig for the girl who the massage therapist is training to do it. As you all know, I am not normally a tan person. I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think?

Two Months!

Today is our two month anniversary. I know everyone out there who has been married for years is laughing at me when I say that I am really excited about that but oh well. So far so good. Being married is fun!

Poor Ace!

Poor little Ace got stung by a wasp today! I somewhat overreacted and was so worried about him. I know that sounds silly but I have no actual children so he's the closest thing I have! Don't worry though, he's going to be just fine. :)
