A Note from Vegas

So we've had a way fun week despite the ending to yesterday's game but we still had a good time. This is just a quick check in and I definitely have even more to catch up on when we come back. We went to church today with Heather and her fam....here's a conversation that went on between Matt and Will during sacrament:

Matt-What does the bread mean?
Will-Cause Jesus ate bread
Matt-Oh, why do we drink the water?
Will-I don't know, cause we need to stay healthy

I thought it was pretty funny.....we had a dinner filled with Algers....way yummy.

We exchanged some presents....from my brother, we got a Wii remote that comes with another 8 games...we are super excited! Thanks Jimmy!

Which leads me to the presents Matt/me received from the Las Vegas Bowl:
* Wii
* Oakley watch
* $300 gift card to the mall
* new nike shoes
* nike shirt
* football signed by all the team
* 2 fancy pens

We also received our Christmas present early from Matt's parents to help us out on our Disneyland trip!! We are super grateful! Thank you Greg and Becky!!

We have been very spoiled this week with all the free meals and entertainment.....and I have totally loved it!! It has been so enjoyable to get away from school and work and all of its stresses! We look forward to more fun this week!! Tune in next time (entry) for more details....Toodles!

So life is crazy at the moment and will continue to be for awhile now.   I guess this post is for me to remember everything I need to write about that I haven't yet and so on and so forth.  I still need to catch up on the BYU v. Utah game (matt has a great pic I need to post), Thanksgiving, our adventure at Smith and Edward's on our way back home from Brigham City, our first Christmas decorations, the ward Christmas party, my company Christmas party and our winnings. Upcoming events that are keeping us so busy: Matt and I leave with the football team next Tuesday morning/afternoon to go to Vegas for the Bowl game...and finals week is of course next week so we are at the moment cramming to negotiate taking finals early and studying our little hearts out...can't wait for the different presents the team gets and all the fun things they have planned for us to do while we're down there.  We'll be staying down there after the game to have an early Christmas at Disneyland the following Monday and Tuesday with my sis, Heather, and her clan along with my bro. Michael (possible other family members will be joining).  We fly back to Utah on Christmas Eve and will then be spending Christmas with both sides hopefully.  Phew....lots to do and lots to write about...as for now........we're takin a break from blogging for awhile, that's all folks!

We did what?? Til When??....

3:30 A.M!! Making Paper Christmas Trees for the ward Christmas party. It took us 6 hours for 3 people to make 64 trees Thursday night for the party on Saturday

Aww precious

Firsts

My first ever attempt at making pies....2 pumpkin and 1 apple (Matt helped a lot with the crust on the apple). I was pleasantly surprised with their turnout and has sparked a new adventure in cooking for me.

It was also my first Thanksgiving with the Putnams and I loved it. It was tons of fun and lots of good food!!

Twilight Zone

So flashback to last last Friday...I went to Twilight with the girls (Christy, Cassie, Emily). So...when we walked into the movie there was 2 stands next to the theatre and a lady told us that for that theatre we could take a free soda and popcorn.....(SWEET was my thought process).  And when we got inside, a lady was calling out seat numbers and handing out twilight prizes.  One of Cassie's friends was there and we came to find out that a lady had actually reserved the entire theatre for her friends and family and thats how they got tickets.....so we were thinking there must have been extra tickets so they put them back on the internet.  Well....about 5 min before the movie started Em looks at her ticket and says "Saturday".....ya Emily had bought the tickets and organized the whole thing and accidentally clicked on Saturday at 7:00 rather than Friday at 7:00.  Well...nobody ended up coming to fill the seats we were in so we went ahead and stayed (and no we didn't go back the next day to see it again...if it wasn't for the Utah game...) and watched the movie and all but talk about crashing somebody's party-we looked back and basically everyone knew each other and was jabbering away.  I enjoyed the movie though...it of course had its cheesy parts, but so does the book, and I was pleasantly happy with how the movie turned out.
