...where did all the sun go?

Well WOW.
I don't know about you guys, but my week has been a doozey!
We had to leave on our trip to San Diego to avoid a blizzard, just to come back to the worst snow of the year so far! It literally added 3 extra hours to our drive back to Salt Lake yesterday.
It was miserable.
I had to pull out the not so fashion forward or cute in anyway boots just to walk to school today without having soaking feet and slipping all over.
They may be ugly, but I couldn't be more grateful for them.
I hope you all had an amazing break. I know I did.
It was full of a lot of friends, family, staying up late, waking up super early (thanks to the babies in the house), non stop eating for about 4 days straight, movies, games, my hubby, traveling, car trips, yellow vitamin water (a must have on long car rides) and beautiful San Diego weather.
Speaking of the beautiful weather... that is something I am missing greatly right now, seeing as my hands are still burning from being so cold outside and have been indoors for at least half an hour now, *sigh.*
 Got to Love a San Diego sunset :)

p.s. I know I normally announce the winner of my giveaways the next day after the giveaway ends, but seeing that we had to have an emergency exit out of Salt Lake last Tuesday I had to postpone. I shall be announcing the winner of the Bride Blu Giveaway shortly! :)

...homeward bound...

Sorry I have been MIA.
If you have been watching the news, you would know that Utah went through a crazy blizzard yesterday.
Because of the reported blizzard, Trevor and I headed out earlier then planned.
Where to you ask?!
My wonderful, perfect home, San Diego :)
(me and trevor have already been to the beach and we just got here today!)

Not a bad place to be when it is below freezing where you live right?
Anyways, I am now in a house full of tons of family :)
I couldn't be more excited!
Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
EAT LOTS OF FOOD!

Right on target...

This weekend was pretty eventful.... lets see...

We started the weekend off meeting up with some friends. We had dinner and then went to shoot arrows. I actually really LOVE to shoot arrows! It is one of my favorite dates that me and Trevor do :) I really felt like I was channeling Robin Hood in my boots, yup.
Thought I would practice my new bow skills....
Then we slept in Saturday morning, woke up and spent the afternoon with Trevor's sister Courtney and her husband Eric :) We ate Costco pizza, got our "hair did" (Courtney does our hair!) &walked around the mall. We all decided we love the mall around Christmas time. Even though Thanksgiving hasn't even happened, the malls around here are all decorated for Christmas already :)

Then we met up with some friends to go to a Chinese Gourmet Buffet. This place is the most insane buffet I have ever been to. We have gone before, but this place never ceases to amaze me. You are always in for a surprise when you go there. For example, I dropped my phone on an Octopus. He was dead, but was not fried. It was slimy and very Octopusy and I may have screamed out loud...

I also managed to snap off only half of my permanent bottom retainer... ouch. Now I have an awkward piece of metal hanging out of my mouth. I can't just pull the whole thing off because the other prong is cemented to my tooth. This should be a fun next couple of days until I can get it fixed. lovely.

Anyone else ready for the long Thanksgiving weekend?! :)

P.S. Don't forget to enter the BrideBlu Giveaway!

Dear Trevor...


Love,
Alycia
