A compilation of many random things.

This is a random post of some things that I have yet to post. Enjoy!

Thing 1: Stillwater. 
On October 11th we went to the city of Stillwater with some friends. Stillwater is right across the river from Wisconsin. It was a beautiful little place that reminded me of Park city or Jackson Hole. It had a cute little main street with cute little shops. There is also a walkway along the waterfront. We also drove around for quite a while and looked at all the great old houses near the downtown. It was nice to get out with some friends.

This "Salamander" came driving by. It was awesome!

Thing 2: Callings
I realized that I have never blogged about our callings in our ward. Justin is the 1st counselor in the Young Mens Presidency and I work in the Nursery.  I was a little unsure of it at first but I am in there with Natalie and Annie (see above pic) and so we have a lot of fun in there.  Justin is enjoying going to mutual again and working with the scouts.

Thing 3: The Dodgers
My wonderful husband has been a fan of the LA Dodgers for quite some time and was thrilled that they made it to the playoffs.  After a sweep over the hyped up Chicago cubs we were even more excited to see them beat the phillies and finally make it to the world series! Unfortunately the Phillies beat them 3-1 and my poor hubby's world series dreams were ended. Sorry babe, there's always next year. "It's gonna be their year!"

Thing 4: Here comes the Bride!
My baby sister Julie is getting married.  And for those of you that don't know her, it was gonna take a lot to impress this girl.  In a way only Julie could get engaged her wonderful boyfriend who is a Marine stationed in California bought her a plane ticket to go visit him.  Then he took her for romantic walk on the beach to propose. I hear from her the next day when she called from (of course) Disneyland to break the news.  Caleb, you did a good job and you got yourself a great girl.  She is my only sister (by blood) and I love her dearly. I can't wait to see her as a bride. I have never seen her so happy.  I love you Julie and I am excited to finally meet Caleb at Christmas!
