More than I thought

So I was going to post about Thanksgiving and putting up our Christmas tree and the joys of that; but as I loaded pictures from our camera I noticed a bunch of pictures that were just fun.  So I thought I'd share the pictures and just a little bit about what we were doing in each one! 

 In October my brother-in-law Sean and I decided to go skiing.  We both wore two wetsuits.  Sean "warmed" them up for me. He was brave and went first.  I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for Sean coming back with glowing reviews of the experience. 

 The sisters getting nails and hair done on Friday, October 14th. The day of the reception. 

October 15th! The day of the wedding!

 ...and after the family dinner.

 During Halloween we went over to Salem and watched Hocus Pocus on the commons. 

 Salem loves their witches.

 Then in November my aunt Tammy and I went and auditioned for The Amazing Race.  We had 60 seconds to say why we would be good on show.  I ended up doing most of the talking... 60 seconds goes quickly.

Dane's anatomy teacher has an "in" with a Chinese restaurant so we went with 150 of Dane's closest classmates to enjoy a 10 course Chinese meal.

One of those courses included baby squid.  Yes we did eat it.  Little tentacles and suctions cups and all!

 Then the day before Thanksgiving we went to the tree lighting at Quincy Market downtown. 

There was a live band.  We enjoyed singing along to a few songs and doing some window shopping. 

So there are a few things that we've been up to lately.  I've been thinking that I didn't have much to blog about since our lives are pretty steady.  I surprised myself.  Life is great. I have a great husband and things couldn't be better. 

Wedding, Theiving, Halloweening, Schooling, and Working.

It's been a while since I've posted on here.  Life has been great.. and really busy. Since my last post my sister got MARRIED!!!!  It was awesome.  It was a very relaxed and they are a happy couple! They have been married for a month now and they couldn't be happier.  Dane made video's of the wedding, if you want to check them out take a peek at the temple or the reception.

Shortly after the wedding Dane went and played football down by Boston College.  So I was cleaning the house and Dane comes and knocks on the door, I open the door to see my husband wide eyed.  He just says "I have some bad news..." So your mind goes a million places all at once in a split second.  He tells me his stuff got STOLEN!!! A dirty little thief came and picked through a pile of bags and decided to take Dane's bag with his phone, keys, and wallet in it... Not to mention his football receiver gloves.  Bummer deal.  The thief took went and charged $240 worth in Charlie Cards... the pass to get on to the T. So we spent the day cancelling credit and debit cards, and going around and replacing what Dane had stolen.  We are still working on getting everything replaced... the keys are the tricky bit to this equation. We'll get there.

Halloween was fun! We went to a murder mystery masquerade.  I was Ms. Una Verse - a brilliant astronaut.  Dane was... well, we don't remember his name. But he was a city food inspector by day and a comedian by night.  We had a fun time laughing and figuring out who killed the crooked law enforcement. 

Other then that we have been super busy with school and work.  I get up early, catch the 6:48 bus into Boston.  I work all day and catch the evening bus home. I'm typically home a little before 6.  My schedule got changed so I'm hoping to be getting off a little earlier in the future.  Every day is busy and I know that I'm going to go home tired, but I have really enjoyed the girls that I work with.  I really lucked out with my situation.  I count it as a blessing.

Dane just finished his gross anatomy class as well as nutrition.  Dane really enjoyed his anatomy class.  It was a nice change up from sitting in lectures all day.  In the lab Dane dissected a cadaver everyday.  He said it was weird at first, but he got very used to it.  I guess you just have to get used to these things.  He's glad to be rid of Nutrition though.  For some reason we have never had a great experience with any of the nutrition teachers we've had.

We've been busy and are looking forward to the holidays.  It will be a nice change up.  My family will all be in town.  We won't have to travel anywhere, ok... just 25 minutes up Route 1.  We are going to have fun and take it easy.  Now I really need to get going on Christmas shopping.  We're down to crunch time.

By the way... college basketball has started... and Dane is currently watching two different games on two different pieces of technology... at the same time.
