Happy Thanksgiving everybody!! For Thanksgiving Brad and I went to my aunt Janet's to have thanksgiving with the KEANES!! Always a full house that seems to be getting fuller each year!! Its fun to see all of my cousins with their children....they are all getting big waaaay too fast!!! I was glad to see all of my awesome cousins =) We then went back to mom and dads for a while and got some bad news in that time frame witch thank god all turned out ok...My moms brother in law was having a heart attack and was being life fighted..very scary! We were lucky then to see my other cousins for a few short minutes. I am now looking forward to CHRISTMAS.....hands down the BEST time of the year!!!!!!!!! It is going to be even better this year because my moms side is throwing me a wedding shower the day after and I am soo excited! This weekend we will be seeing Brads family and spending fun, quality time with Brad's niece =) So did any of you go do the crrrazy black friday shopping?!?!?

Busy BEE

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted anything (and I have no pictures this week because I broke Brads computer =( so I am posting on my break at work =)
This past week was pretty busy, I worked both jobs, had volleyball Wednesday, went to Sioux City, did LOTS of wedding stuff and sold honey with my dad! This week we finally got the new carpet in the room that is going to be mine and Brads and we got the new bedroom furniture =) =) I love it!! I can not believe how BIG the bed is....its a king and the mattress goes up to my belly button no joke!! On Saturday when dad and I were done selling honey we went over to Brads house so he could see it for the first time....ofcourse dad knew all the answers to all the questions we had about the little fix it projects around the house....thats what dads are for right!! I know he is going to be a huge help once we get started on those projects!! On Sunday Brad and I went to Sioux City to get some shelves to make a pantry in the kitchen closet......Brad started working on it right away and finished it that same day so I pulled out my great organizational skills (which are POOR) and filled up the pantry! It looks great and gives the house TONS more cabinet space!!...We were also able to find all the supplies we needed to make our wedding invites....lots of work in the near future FORSURE. And ofcourse I managed to shop for a few christmas things and a few things for myself =) We ate at outback steak houe and Brad and I BOTH LOOOOVED our meals.....yummy yummy! And we were sure to hit up coldstone......the berry tart and tangy.....GREAT! I forgot to mention that Brad was in Ames all week for work and was able to stay with his brother and also see his sister and her family....Brad just gets a kick out of his niece,,,its funto see how much fun he thinks she is =) She is such a CHEEZE!!! Hope you all have a sUUUUUUUUper week!

This weekend started for me Thursday night....I had Friday OFF =) Friday I headed up to sioux Falls to see my best friend Jill. We had a great girls day filled with shopping....coffee shops and some beers to end the day. Its great getting to spend time with the friends you love!! Saturday morning I met Brad in Le Mars and we had our engagement pics done =) I think we got some beautiful outdoor ones down by a lake with some awesome fall colors...we are hoping to get them back by the end of the week! After our pics my SISTER met us for lunch and we watch yet another THRILLING hawkeye game with a VERRRY loud crowd at Mr. Ps....but of course we were very happy with another IOWA WIN! Halloween night Brad and I were both pooped so we handed out candy to all of the trick or treaters....when I say ALL I mean ALL 6 of them lol...I think The house is just in a bad spot and they kiddos walk right on bye...oh well more candy for me ( and more elliptical in the days to come to work of all of the left over candy =) ) So today (Sunday ) Brad and I got our soon to be bedroom ready for the new furniture and carpet that is coming THIS WEEK!! We also got the guest bedroom all done with bed, dresser and all, so feel free to come visit =) I don't have any pics from this weekend but I will post a few old ones for fun!
