Familiar Faces!

We were very lucky to have Cari and Ben come stay with us a few days before they took off on thier Cruise around the Islands.... We didn't get to do too much with them as it was Brandon's finals week, and me having to work... But it was still really nice to go out to eat with them a few times!!! Ben and Brandon seemed to hit it off.... Mostly it was just SO nice to have people around that I really know... doesn't happen too much here!!! We forgot to take pics so this is one we snapped before they got on the plane home... ignore my rudolph nose.... I had a cold...

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Ok, so it really isn't for us.... thus the basis of my post!!! I am trying so hard to get in the Christmas Spirit... But is rough when you are still wearing shorts (even to work for that matter) and you are going to the beach on the weekends.... It just feels wrong to me... I swear it is even harder to get in the Spirit this year than last for some reason. This will be Brandon and I's Second "Christmas in Paradise" I only get Christmas and New Years Day off so we are stuck on the rock again.... could be worse I guess....So, all of you who are playing in the snow and drinking cocoa to stay warm.... I hate you....

Fall Ball

A few weekends ago Brandon took me to the Fall Ball!!! Yes, we went to a school dance!! It was at the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki! We went with our good friends Nick and Alysha, not to be confused with my sis who is also pictures in this blog!! I only got to see sis briefly, as her date kept pulling her out on the dance floor... It was a fun night of dancing... really the first time Brandon and I have been able to dance...since our wedding of course!!! I started feeling kind of old when we were all ready to go home at 11:30!! But, it was still a lot of fun!!!

OK, so I am a little behind on the whole the blogging thing.... but I hope everybody had the best Thanksgiving ever!!! We went to our ward dinner, and I volunteered, I was a little nervous, since people would be eating it and all... but it was D-licious!!! here is proof:
