Almost Thanksgiving!

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving already! Time is just flying by so quickly!
Last week was pretty dull unfortunetly. Mike and I went and heard Michael Dowdle perform for our date night. He was so amazing! He played a combination of his personal music with some Christmas music. It made me want to rush home and play the piano! Saturday it snowed like crazy while we were in the concert and Mike was wearing flip flops! So when it was time for him to leave, I raced out and made him a trail and then ushered him into his car while I removed the snow. It was FREEZING! Luckily, he made it home safely!
Also last week I got my schedule figured out for school! I'm really excited to be starting at the U! (assuming I pass stats! I'm pretty nervous for that!) I made a pretty big decision that day too; I'm moving out!...I'm going to go nanny Jaxson. I'm really excited for that! It will mean driving back and forth to Sandy 5 days a week, but I'll be closer to Mike, making a little more money, I'll be closer to school, and I'll get to be around my new nephew. All in all, it should be pretty exciting! :)
On Sunday, Mike's mom invited me to their house for dinner...and early Thanksgiving to be exact. It was delicious and really nice to be able to see Mike on a Sunday. I don't ever feel like I get enough time with him. I love his parents and it's fun spending time with them and their family.
And here we are...a few days prior to Thanksgiving. That means it's almost time to make pumpkin cheesecake, and stay up all hours of the night to go shopping with the thousands of other crazy people. One of my favorite traditions. It's so fun to get all bundled up in pjs, coats, scarves, and mittens to go listen to wonderful Christmas music with all of the hustle and bustle at the mall. Then the insanity hits going to other stores and waiting in their lines for 1 or 2 things. But it's tradition, so what can ya do?
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Happs!

Well.....Mike and Lisa's baby was born on Monday! So I'm officially an aunt! I'm so excited! They named him Jaxson and he is simply adorable! He has dark hair that is softer than imaginable! I'm so excited to be an aunt! He is going to be so spoiled!
The other big news is I got accepted into the U and start in January for the spring semester. I'm double majoring in Human Development/Family Studies and Sociology. I'm really excited! There are so many electives that look great that it's hard to only choose a couple, but I guess that's better than not being interested in anything, right?
Mike and I started having a date night once a week....last night we went to Cafe Rio. It was absolutely delicous! I'm excited to have some fun dates and spend more time with him.
Wellllll.....that's been my week.


And that is Jaxson David Pearson! :)

Halloween!!!

So Halloween was a ton of fun! In all reality, I didn't do a whole lot, but it's Halloween so it's fun in general!
This year Mike and I dressed up as Dora the Explorer and Diego! It was great!
Friday night we carved our pumpkins with my family. Mine was pretty pro this year considering I am not very artistic!
Saturday started off with my family going to Lisa and Mike's to help them set up their.........NURSERY!!! That's right, they're adopting THIS week! The baby is due on Thursday! We are so excited!!! So that was a lot of fun, now I know how to set up a crib and changing table!
After, we went to the ward trunk or treat. It was freezing! But fun! After, Mike and I watched The House on Haunted Hill with my parents (it's tradition) and after we watched Hocus Pocus! We had a great weekend!

Us at the trunk or treat

David went as facebook....haha

And these....are our spectacular pumpkins!
