Blackfriday!

For thanksgiving we went to my Aunts house. We had a big family one like we do every year. Then we stopped by Ryans parents. We had to go to bed early though cause we went black Friday shopping. We woke up at 315 and left at 330 to go to target.

Ryan kept saying he wanted to go to get the good deals. We'll I dont think he'll be going again. We got to target around 330 and had to wait 30 mins for the store to open. The line was around the building. We we freezing. All was worth it though. We got our I-tunes gift cards, movies, and heather got her toaster.

It was fun but maybe I"ll wait and go at 8am instead of 3 next year.

Favorite quote from Primary

Ryan and I teach the 7-8 year old kids in primary. Sunday we were having a lesson on preparing for the 2nd coming.

The other teacher was giving examples and asking if it was a way to prepare or not for the 2nd coming. When asked if Cheating on your spelling test was a way to prepare one girl raised her hand and said I know who cheats on spelling test she does" (pointing to her twin sister).

Then her sister yells, "that was before I was baptized."

The 3 of us teachers couldn't help but laugh at that. This year we have had quite a rambunctious class but love coming home with stories like that.

BBQ in the Park!!!


So this all started with me one day being bored, and looking up fun things to do in Tucson! I read about this park called Agua Caliente, it was suppose to be Tucson's best kept secret. I decided I wanted to go here one day!







Jump head a few months. Ryan and I were going to BBQ at our apartment. We went and bought coal, lighter fluid and a lighter. It wasn't time for dinner so we were trying to decided what to do before that. I mentioned playing frisbeee and he said are there any parks with grills??? Then I remembered about the park Agua Caliente and decided I wanted to go there to BBQ and play frisbee.




Starting the Fire!!!


Got the Hamburgers on!



Yum!!!






Side note my parents came up a couple weeks later and we took them there! We also saw some turtles that were super cute!

Trials!


So Ryan had been praying to see if he should get a job or just focus on school. Last year he focused on school while working for a teacher a couple hours a week. This year he felt impressed to get a job. We decided we could still live off of what I made but could save his for the pricey tuition bills. Heavenly father however had different plans. Ryan got his perfect job of working 3 nights a week and always having weekends off at Kmart. He could even study a little while at work. A couple weeks later his motorcycle broke down and we had to fix the part that takes the gas to the engine. Right before we go to palm springs the window motor in my cars goes out we had to get that fixed. Then just last week I have a blow out with my tires. So Ryan new job was able to pay for all that. Not what we wanted to spend the money on but everything worked out. Now hopefully we can save that money for winter tuition.

Annies Apples!

Some girls at work told me about an Apple Orchard called Annie's Apples. You go to pick your own apples, pears, and peaches. Then a couple miles away they have a farm you can go pick your own vegetables and at the end of September through October they have pumpkins! So on Saturday Ryan and I took a drive out to Wilcox. (He made me drive so he could study). It was lots of fun. I will attempt to bake an apple pie and we will carve pumpkins in a couple weeks!













~~I love Saturday adventures~~

Palm Springs!

So we've been going on lots of weekend trips lately. A couple weeks ago we went to palm springs. We had a nice relaxing time and had fun at a water park there.

The sunset as we arrived!


The Tub slides!



Our Favorite slide!

Also while we were there palm springs has a walk of fame similar to Hollywoods Stars!



Othere than that we just relaxed at our Resort. We don't have cable so Ryan got in his football ESPN watching, while I watched a movie!
