Carving Pumpkins

On Monday I carved pumpkins with Kurt and Liz and the kids. I actually wasn't allowed to do much... I cleaned out Isaac's pumpkin, drew the face on it, just how he wanted it. And then I carved one eye out and went a little out side the lines, and that was the end of it. I was no longer allowed to carve his pumpkin! So then I just ended up watching them carve pumpkins. Scott and I carved our pumpkin the Saturday before at a Halloween party we went to. I have to say I may be a little obsessed with Halloween! I love it! I love carving pumpkins, dressing up, and eating lots of candy!

Our pumpkin... its shriveled because we did it a few days before at Devin and Lena's... It's still rad though!

Disneyland

For our anniversary Scott got me Disneyland tickets, and whatever I wanted while we were there... He made sure that I added that last part in! We finally got to use them this last weekend. It was so much fun! All my most favorite things combined into one. Disneyland, Scott, and Halloween! You can't beat that! The parks were decorated so cute. It was so busy though! We didn't think about it being fall break, what were we thinking? Regardless, we had a ton of fun! I never get sick of Disneyland. While we were gone, Liz's family came down to Arizona to visit. They were still visiting when we got back, so we stayed with our buddies, Devin and Lena's house. It stinks being homeless right now, but we were very grateful for their bunk beds!

Moving

This one is for Heidi- So our life has been totally crazy lately! We moved! Not too far from where we were though. Our lease was up Sept. 30th and we were trying to figure out what to do. My work was 75miles round trip from our apartment, and the area kind of freaked me out. But our amazing friends were right there. So while we were trying to figure out what to do, rent? buy? stay? go?, Scott's brother offered to let us move in with them for a while. So we did. We put all our stuff in a storage unit and moved into the bedroom across the hall from Kurt and Liz. It's a lot closer to my work! Instead of an hour drive every day its only fifteen minutes! Their kids are absolutely in love with Scott. Christian even prays that Scott will come in and kiss him good night. They are so sweet. The worst part of the whole thing was moving. We really didn't think the three flights of stairs thing out very well. It was nice not having anyone above us, but moving was a nightmare! I have no idea how many times we went up and down those stairs. And I had no idea we had so much stuff! There are only two of us! The hard part is over at least! Now we just gotta be good so Kurt and Liz don't kick us out, or send us to bed early! We sure appreciate them letting us stay with them for a little while, while we are trying to figure our crazy lives out! Thanks a million you guys!

our story

Jetti was working at Rafaels when she first served Scott's parents. They hit it off instantly, and so his mom decided to ask if Jetti had a boy friend. Jetti replied, "Sort of, he's on his mission right now, but I am dating other guys." As soon as that was said Scott's mom whipped out photos of her single boys. The first time Scott and Jetti actually saw each other was when Jetti served the entire Andrewsen family. This was for Scott's parents birthdays in October. Over the next few months Jetti and Scott occasionally worked together at the restaurant when Scott picked up some shifts. One night when they were working together in late January, Scott decided that they were going to hang out that night after work. Jetti informed Scott that she already had plans with some of her girl friends. Scott was persistent, played that they'd already agreed on plans and that she was breaking them, and even went as far as calling the girls to cancel the other plans. That didn't work. The girls showed up to the restaurant as it was closing, as planned. Scott headed home, and Jetti and her friends couldn't think of anything to do. So they too were just going to head home. As Jetti was driving home, she decided to take Scott up on his offer. She called back to the restaurant and got Scott's phone number from the manager. She called him, and she and the girls went and hung out at with him and his brother. They set up an official date for the next week, and after that they were inseparable.
