8 Random Facts:

I'm terrified of balloons. I almost always instantly get a headache if I'm forced to be close to them. This stems from a bad experience involving a: my little sisters birthday b: a good sale on balloons causing me to buy 3 times the amount originally planned and c: a really hot car in the middle of summer with air conditioning not included.

I love to drink the jalapeƱo juice from the jar. Matt hates this.

I'm a chronic nail biter. I know....disgusting. There has only been 2 times that I have grown my nails out since the 1st grade and neither time lasted more than a few weeks.

I tend to spend more time thinking about cleaning the house than it would actually take if I just did it.

I recently came out with this to my co-worker so what the hay.... I very secretively have always had a crush on John Goodman aka Dan from "Roseanne".

I love my family more than I think they know.

I am completely grossed out by candy wrappers and gum. Also, although straw wrappers alone don't really bother me....I can't stand a straw wrapper that has been rolled up.

I love love LOVE French fries. Even bad fried are good fries. I'm pretty sure that if I ever got stranded on a desert Island with the choice of one food...It would be fries. Sure I might die from a heart attack before the scary village people from the other side sacrificed me...but send me with a fry baby and an endless supply of potatoes and I'd be set.

Zoo

Last Sunday, we took MiniMatt to the zoo. The weather was perfect. My favorite animals are the elephants, penguins, giraffes, monkeys, and pelicans. MiniMatts favorite were the Zebras, Giraffes, and the Reptile House. Matt...not so much. He's not the biggest fan of going to the zoo. he did however take some good pictures :).

Matt got pooped on by a bird in the reptile house.

I love Pelicans.

This monkey was hilarious! Reminded me of Sam.

I got attacked by an Alligator. He was in the children's playland of all places.



We finished off the day by going to family dinner at sister Shauna's. Had the camera with me but unfortunately didn't get any pictures taken.

Saturday

Matt's Co-worker Jacob was in town all last week from Ohio and this weekend, his wife Megan flew down to scope out Salt Lake City. Saturday morning started with a hike up Grandeur Peak. This was especially fun since they don't have mountains near them at home (Can you imagine that?).
Jacob and Megan (at the trail head)

The fall colors were B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

We ran into this guy on the trail. Looked almost identical to the GIANT spider we found on our porch a few weeks back (note Matt's blog)

The pictures honestly don't do the beauty justice.

Aww... How romantic. Jacob and Megan looking out over the city.
I love this picture.

Matt and I and the top of Grandeur Peak.

After making it down the mountain, we ended up at Thai Lotus for yummy Curry. And in the evening, we drove up to Park City to stroll the shops on Main Street. Unfortunately, a lot of the shops were closed so we decided on a steak house for dinner. The food was great but I think due to the fact that:
A. It hadn't been very long since lunch
B. We got an appetizer that was delicious and
C. I ordered soda which always fills me up immediately, I hardly touched dinner.
We ended the evening at our house watching "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Poor exhausted Megan ended up falling asleep. This made me happy to know that I'm not the only one that struggles to stay awake when cuddled up watching movies. All in all, it ended up being alot of fun. Maybe next time, she will come down for a longer amount of time.

Pumpkin Carving

MiniMatt came over this evening. We made stir fry for dinner and carved our Halloween Pumpkins. We all had a lot of fun and I am so looking forward to making pumpkin seeds!!
This is the pumpkin that we grew in the garden.

Our finished works of art.

MiniMatt said it was easy to tell which pumpkin was mine cause it was the girly one haha.
