Santa's Elves
Waiting for the play Santa's Elves by the Pickleville Playhouse at USU to start.
It was a super cute play! I love plays that are funny and full of music!

A Cute Truck
When Scott and I moved up here to Alaska, we had one vehicle. We had gotten rid of my car and sold his motorcycle. Luckily, we had been able to get along with just our jeep. It wasn't always the most convenient , especially when Scott would go to work at 7am and I had to get up to take him so I could go to work later. Not fun at all.Well since I got a teaching job, we decided that we could afford another vehicle and so the search started.
It wasn't much of a search. We had our checklist of what we wanted and we headed out just to look. We went to the GMC dealer first. There we found an 05 GMC Sierra 1500 that fit all our criteria and our price range. We found our truck! We found out afterwards that we beat another buyer by a half hour. I've been driving the truck since my work is closer and I love it!
The only think Scott isn't thrilled about is that it is a short bed. I actually really like that because it makes it proportional and cute. It's pretty close to the type of truck I've wanted since high school. Here's our new baby:

School, Snow and Fun
So it's been a lot longer than I intended to have between post. I tried setting this up to be able to post from my phone but it didn't work. That is my excuse for taking forever to update this.
Anyways, I got a job!! I had an interview on Oct.7th and started my new job on Oct. 11. I am the Title 1 teacher at Shaw Elementary in Wasilla. That means that mainly I am in charge of coordinating parent involement things and working with small groups in various grades. I've only been there for about 3 weeks now and I love the school! Another lucky thing for me is that the school is only a couple of miles from our apartment! Hurray for the Shaw Sundogs!
We had our first snow in Alaska last Tuesday. It melted off but we got more just a couple of days later. It's not much but I've been told that it's here to stay. So we'll see how the winter goes :)
On Friday, Scott and I went to a fun halloween party. It was a murder mystery where all the guests were given characters to dress up like and act like at the party. Scott and I were Bob the Banker and Bonnie the Banker's Wife. It was based in 1874 in a western town. That was a hard character to find a costume like. I ended up making my dress and a vest for Scott. It was a lot of fun! (I'll add pictures later, I forgot my camera so I'll have to get copies)
That's the short of what we've been up to. I will try a lot hard to update weekly, or at least every couple of weeks.

Shaw's mascot is the Sundogs. A sundog has to do with a spray of color in the outer halo when you look at the sun.

*Happy Birthday To Me*
So I just celebrated my 23rd birthday and I have a lot to be thankful for. Scott is the best husband I could ever have asked for. We went out on Saturday for my official 'birthday dinner' to Cattle Company Steakhouse. It was very yummy :) I also got to get some new shirts from Forever 21, one of my favorite stores. (I was so happy to find out that there was a Forever 21 in Anchorage!) On Monday, it was a somewhat relaxful day. I went to work for a short shift in the morning. Scott was a sweetie and brought some flowers to the store for me :)
I wasn't sure what to expect for my birthday being away from family and friends and just having moved pretty recently. I was completely caught off guard with all the love I got. I got a lot of love on facebook from family and friends. I also got a lot of love through texts and phone calls. I even got a cake from one of my co-workers at JoAnn! Thank you to everyone who thought of me! It really made my day!!
Scott and I have been so lucky in our move up here to AK. I was able to tranfer jobs and have networked my way into a school to sub at and possible get a job at. Scott has been able to work for some church members that are in our ward. We have a great apartment, are making some good friends and just loving life right now.
