You may think that I'm joking, but it's 8:15 pm and I'm about to go brush my teeth! Luckily on the weekends we try to go out and see the sights - so here are some picts of our adventures!

This is a waterfall we came across on one of our hikes - this is on Case Mt, right by our house. It took us 30 min to walk leisurely to the summitt - not quite the mountains we're used to!
Ahhh, the Boston Temple! It's so beautiful (aren't they all?) It's weird to have to drive 2 hrs just to see an angel Moroni!
The New England Air Museum... we thought it was appropriate to check it out - since we're aviation extrodin-airs! We even splurged and bought Astronaut Ice Cream - surprisingly it wasn't that bad (though it didn't taste anything like ice cream)
HALLOWEEN!!!! MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY! We went to a ward party as 70s people - Jake was the classic 70s cop. And in case you're wondering why he would go to such extreme lengths to grow out his facial hair for a costume, the stache is, in fact, a fake one.
So apparently, in the "real world" not a lot of people dress up for work on halloween, but I didn't let that damper my spirits. I decided that I could probably pull off something not too extreme. So I went to work dressed up as Tina Fey dressed up as Sarah Palin! I even watched SNL the night before to practice my Alaskan accent (which wasn't too shabby don't ya know!) At lunch in the cafeteria I saw people pointing at me, and laughing, hopefully they were enjoying my costume and not making fun of the "Utah Poof" hairstyle!
Dad was in town for buisness this past week - so we got to spend some time with him! It's was fun to show off our crib and watch a Blu-Ray (which is amazingly way 100% incrediably better than a normal DVD - I swear the movie looks 3D - like there are little people dancing inside your television!) Dad came to Seminary with us and gave a wonderful devo. It was so fun to have him here! I got so homesick to see him go (tears and everything). It's hard being so far away from all of you. We want you to know we miss you all and think about you often. We keep you in our prayers. Love you! (unless you're a stranger reading our blog - we don't love you)

an update finally! sounds like you guys are having lots fun.
Sounds like fun. Where do you live exactly? We could be east coast buddies. How long are you going to live out here? Is it a long term thing? It's good to hear you are doing great.
What?! That mustache isn't the real thing?! Wow- it's amazing what you can do with digital photography now days. I'm so glad you posted! It made my day! I'm hoping to get a chance to come visit early next year. I'll cook if you let me stay with you.
Finally....Thank-You! That was fun for you to see your dad. Keep us posted now and then, I know you are busy, but it's fun to hear how things are going.
I'm no stranger, but I am blog-stalking!! You look so great, looks like life is treating you well. I linked over from Arlene. Kepp posting, I love to catch up on all the adults I used to babysit (AHHH I'm officially old.)
Love, Amberlee (faulkner) Nelson
Looks like so much fun! We love going to CT, and want to come visit (and hike to that little beauty of a waterfall) when the weather gets warmer. Still planning on coming to NY for thanksgiving? Hope to see you there! Call me! It was so funny to see a pic of your Dad. I know that my Mom is grey, so it should't be shocking to see your Dad is getting older too...but it still made me do a double take! I can't believe that all my aunts and uncles are not only growing older, but are all turning into grandparents, and now WE are the older aunts and uncles! Where did all that time go? I still feel like I'm 16...except when the girls keep me up all night--then I wake up feeling 66!
So glad to get the update! I didn't know you guys were teaching seminary. That's so great!
Love you!
Also, that cream puff looked super tasty. :)
Yaaay! I was beginning to think Satan's Kingdom had taken over! I'm sorry you have to bear the burden of us living the "single" married life (=dating with privileges), but we love to know what you guys are up to.
At first I thought you guys were hanging out at Wal-Mart. Our Wal-Mart has a life-sized Lego Storm Trooper in the toy dept. I can't believe little kids haven't destroyed it yet!
Yeah, the "'stache" looks like Jake pasted a hair comb to his face. I loved the Tina/Sarah costume! Where's the gun?
Can't wait to see you guys at Christmas!
yay! i've missed hearing from you! looks like you guys are doing awesome! i'm so happy. props on waking up at 4:30 every day....don't know if i could do it. :)
