Well lets see, our last post was in August which means it's been 7 months since our last post! Wups! Well, for starters Dallan and I both had our birthdays in October so we went to Disney World with my sister Sjanna and my brother-in-law Jared. It was a lot of fun and it was Halloween so naturally we went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! We dressed up, I had made a Mary Poppins Costume and Sjanna was Snow White. The boys were party-poopers and didn't
dress up of course, but it was a lot of fun and we got a lot of candy! We also went to SeaWorld on one of the days we were there and we saw that they had that new roller coaster ride the Manta Ray or something? Anyways, what you do is you sit like a normal coaster with your feet dangling, then they lift you up so that you are laying flat down on your stomach so its more like you're flying or swimming I guess. So we start going and I hadn't even looked at the tracks because I didn't think to (I don't do too well with all roller coasters) and we start going and it barrel rolls you SO fast and multiple times, and then I see the loop, and I'm thinking thats weird..it looks... OH CRAP! yea so you know how you usually go up backwards over a loop? yep, not on manta ray! you are laying down and then you dive head first straight down and keep going over the outside of the loop!!! it was awful! well, at least I thought so! Dallan and Jared really liked it but I felt kinda sick after. THEN I was really smart and went from there directly to the Kraken! I had forgotten that the last time I went I got up to it, looked at the track and left and never rode it... so I didn't do that this time and got on. And I was SO SO sick afterwards plus it was really hot outside which didn't help. But all in all it was still fun! I mean it's Disney World! So in November Dallan and Sydney and I all went to Nashville to visit, I think for Dallan to try and find a job? I don't really know, I just tagged along. But we went to Paramore concert the first night and saw Taylor Swift! She was sitting like 4 rows ahead of us. Then we kinda mossied around and went to Franklin and to the Parthenon, or is it the Pantheon? nope, Parthenon I think.
Thanksgiving: well, Dallan and I successfully hosted and made our first family Thanksgiving dinner! Dallan's parents came out and I think we did a pretty good job! It was tasty!
Christmas: Dallan and I both had to work, Dallan at Costco and I at Sundance again as a snowboard instructor. I had to get nose surgery at the beginning of the month because I literally couldn't breath through my nose at night and it was really becoming a big problem. So its all fixed now and I breath great and am so happy! its the first time since I can remember that I can sleep on either side of my body and still breath! Might sound silly but its a big deal when you haven't been able to! Anyways, Dallan and I ended up working Christamas eve and went over to his Aunt's house for dinner and it was excellent! New years came and I honestly went to bed around 10 because I had work early and had been working like 7 days in a row.
Lately: well more recently, Sundance ended and I'm not on the job hunt! AGAIN... I applied to work at Disney World again, or rather auditioned and didn't make it! not even fur! I was so mad, but APPARENTLY they are being really stingy with who they hire and aren't hiring much, so I guess I can't feel too bad about it. Also, Sjanna, my sister, is pregnant! with a little girl! YAY! should be cool, I've never really been around a baby before, she is due end of Julyish. My sister Nicki came out to visit from Hawaii in March which was fun! I hadn't seen her in a while. She is engaged and is supposedly getting married in September possibly? Syd's b-day came up as well, and I made her cake of course!
Alice in Wonderland/Tim Burton inspired, cuz I know she likes black and purple.
So basically now Dallan and I are just looking for jobs, and I have been updating the house a bit, landscaping and I repainted our kitchen table and made pillows and stuff. It looks cute I think. Well spring is here, and I'm hoping we move here soon and then I can find something more permanent to do!
PS- I learned to do backside 360! (that is a snowboard term if you were thinking something dirty)
