What a Man

I have classes Friday mornings and Ben has Friday's off of work so he usually enjoys having that day pretty much to himself. This last Friday I had a presentation in one of my classes that i considered quite a pain, I don't really enjoy public speaking. So after I had finished my presentation I was relieved and didn't really want to be at school anymore, so I ditched my last class half way through. Needless to say this really put a damper on Ben's day. I ride trax usually but he picks me up from the station. So I called him to pick me up and he was not a happy camper. This made me irritated because I was thinking he would be excited to have me home early! So I was then grumpy with him in turn. Well...when I walked into the house I walked into the middle of a suprise for me. He had flowers for me on the counter and was in the process of baking brownies for me. What a sweet guy. He said he planned on writing me a note to say how much he loved me too but I was too early! He told me what he would have said in the note though so I guess it was just as good. So grateful for a husband who loves me and spends time doing things for his wife on his day off. :)

HALLOWEEN!

We've become one of those boring married couples. For Halloween we didn't have any desire to go to any parties or even dress up. We just wanted to stay home and pass out candy to the trick or treaters. We were told by our neighbors that we don't usually get many kids coming around so since we had already bought so much candy we decided to head over to our wards "trunk or treat". We got rid of half of our load and then suprisingly we had about 20 kids come to the house as well. We were secretly hoping we'd have a lot leftover to eat ourselves, but i guess its for the best! We still do have quite a bit though to keep our own sweet tooths happy :)
We had fun carving pumpkins. I had a feeling Bens Pumpkins would be amazing and mine would be LAME-o. He did the skeleton and the haunted house, mine are the pumpkins with faces. He is definitely the artist in our family.





Growing up my mom always made us pizza rolls that looked like pumpkins for dinner on Halloween. I've decided to carry on the tradition. Although mine are not quite the same. My mom made the pepperoni into pumpkin faces. I guess mine are gourmet pumpkins :)
