so it's been about a month.... so apparently it's that time to blog again, right? A lot has happened lately but not as much as what is about to happen this coming month and the next! I am tre excited for it all! I'm also working on my Christmas cards which has kept me distracted from blogging because its just soo fun!
Um...what has happened recently..I'm getting my hair done tomorrow--but I guess that hasn't happened yet...let's see, oh yeah, we went to Fredricksburg! It's a small town outside of Austin that is amazingly German! We went down for my g ma's 88th birthday :) It was a fun little weekend trip and since I'm like 25% German, we just had a blast! We ate delish yummy German food which we had to wait an hour for--which was ridic, but other than that, it hit hard to my German taste buds. We went and saw a German movie-ha-yeah right, i wouldn't understand a thing, we did a LOT of shopping-gma found a presh set of lamps that I hope I will inherit when she goes to the Celestial Kingdom, and we ate really good home made pie (I'm not sure if that's a German thing or not but either way it was good) SO as you can see, most of the day consisted of eating and shopping, 2 things I'm very good at and enjoy doing so of course overall it was a blast to the past. OH how can I forgeT!?! We also got to stay at our awesome 2nd cousin's home (Barbara) well..I think she's my 2nd cousin, she's my mom's cousin so whatev that makes her to me...and we went ziplining!!! I was tremendously scared at first because I was the one that everyone made go first-and I was kinda freaked out-not going to lie. Not strapped in or anything, just hangin by the strength of your hands and arms which for me is like a 3 on a scale of 10, but don't worry, I did great--you'll have to see my amazing video below for more fun details on the matter. It was quite hilar to see me go down....SO after everything, we made it home in one piece-thank goodness, my dad didn't drive us off the highway when he was getting tired, and overall had a gay ol' time. I was kinda sad we didn't have any time for museums b/c they had a really cool one there having to do with WWII but lo siento, no tiempo...
This is one of the stuffed peppers I made from a recipe on pinterest--goota have me some pinterest, this recipe is
SOO good, and healthy!!

There is a hilarious video of me ziplining at the end of this post...omg I obviously didn't hear Barbara screaming "pick up your feet, pick up your feet!" Ths is not how you're supposed to land..
Me and bun in German town!
I don't know what that means..is that bad?
This is really good sausage that bunner orderd..the sourkraut?? groooosss
I got the weinerschneitzel with a mushroom sauce that was sooo to die for..LOVEd it, oh and that cabbage stuff was way good...you can't see the mashed potatoes but they were scrumptious since they had a sweet taste to them
We look sooo happy b/c we FINALLY got our food
This is just the cutest lamp you'll ever see that gma bought for her birthday, can't get enough
One of the sign stores..
yay for German pie! Well..that wasn't one of the flavors
Us in front of the museum we didn't go into..but that's ok, as long as we're happy
OK, What's next? um...oh yeah! Halloween! duh..Well we didn't do much...I was going to be a loofa again this year since I'm pretty sure that's the only costume I own...BUT I figured I've been that for the past 2 years so I would give it a rest on the winning of costume contests and let someone else win for a chance...jk, there wasn't any costume contest at my work this year, but just wasn't feelin the dress up thang, maybe cuz I didn't have a good costume? But yeah, so no dress up, but we did go to a fall festival thingy of my rents and our cotton candy looked like Harry Potter figures and can I just say how much I LOVE cotton candy..it is truly a delight. We then passed out candy and the kids were too cute. OH we also carved pumpkins that Sunday and I was pretty proud of my cute pump. (pumpkin isn't a good word to abbrev.)
Randall had a cotton candy that looked like the sorting hat from Harty Potter! It was amazing
He tried to put the cotton candy hat on my head..I didn't apprec.
My pump. is so scary but so cute..he actually looks a little worried..like as if someone just hollowed his heart out
Mom has a pumpkin that looks like a baby face
Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to my friend Kiara's wedding reception since it was here in The Colony. SO we get there at about 5:20 thinking we wouldn't be the first ones there because it started at 5, right? So we get there and no one else is there and Kiara was sleeping on the couch with her hubby and they weren't ready or anything when we arrived! She's hilar. They go to tell me that it actually doesn't start until 6 pm and i'm thinking "there is no freakin way" but they convince me that it starts at 6 and I feel bad for being early and its actually ok because then we get more time to talk to Kiara and her new family. Then, a lady comes in at 5:45 pm and says "I'm sorry i'm 45 minutes late" I go "what the!? Now I realize I was totally on time!" So-we go to find out that Kiara and her hubby and his family totally thought it started at 6 when it really started at 5 and I wasn't early! We just thought it was funny they were sleeping when their reception started..gotta love my girl Kiara. Anyway, I think that's all for now--see darling pics below..darling isn't the right word since I'm not showing a baby..maybe outstanding pics below?? ;)
Cute Kiara
