What's Happening in Arizona...

10.18.2010

I've been busy busy busy thrifting, gathering Halloween costumes, visiting family, and trying to keep up with my school work while in Mesa, but the BusyBee herself is going out of town this weekend and asked me to do a guest post on her blog while she's away. So, that was one more thing added to 
my list of things to get done. 
I finished it today and i think you'll like it, 
stay tuned for info on when it gets posted.



I video-chatted with Marcus tonight.


Now, I, like The Tame One, wish my superpower was the Hogwart's Apparating spell, so I could apparate to him right now.

It reminded me of the days of yesterfar, before I moved up to Idaho to be with him. We hated not being able to see each other when we talked, so we got webcams. I would run around the house testing out where the best lighting was so that I could look cute when we chatted. I would do my hair, put a good outfit on, and you're not going to believe this, but I'd alway 
brush my teeth before he called. 
I don't know what I was thinking, as if he could even see my outfit or smell my breath, but he was my date for the evening and I had always gotten ready for dates before, 
so why stop now?

 I was very glad when the time came for me to put away my webcam and instead live across the street from him, even if it was too cold, I liked having him there to see my outfit and smell my just-brushed breath...


What are you busy with this week?

Oh my gosh! I love that you got ready for webcam dates! That makes me feel better about when I would get ready for "breakfast in jammies" dates. I was supposed to just roll out of bed and he would come over and make me breakfast. Um. I definitely woke up an hour prior...got all ready, and then put on fresh jammies.

We rule.

ZAch and I did video chats while he was in the Phillipines mostly I was in my swimming suit because it was always right after we went swimming. Im sure he didnt mind the extra skin showing. :)

You are so fun Ashley! I love that you link in facebook, because that is the only blue moon time I happen across blogs. While you are thrifting for your own halloween stuff, could you browse the boys costumes for me? I have not put together ANYTHING for the kids and they are not picky. It was nice to see you on Sunday.

Lauren and Olivia, why are we so silly? haha

Whitney, you probably drove him crazy with the skin!

Kara, mom says that she has some skeleton costumes somewhere that the boys could were, we also have a cute pirate costume around here.
