So Much Too Say

We have so much to tell you. Let's start with Halloween. My co-worker was an old man and I was the old man's nurse. Paul was Mario from Super Mario Brothers. The neighbor's boy was Luigi.

This past week Paul and I were in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area on a recruiting trip. We mixed a little business with pleasure. We went to a Cowboys game in the new stadium. Although, I am not a fan, it was awesome to see. We had awesome seats. We sat right above where the players come out onto the field. Paul's dad, Paul Silva and his wife, Clara joined us. We all had a good time and to top it off, we had a successful recruiting trip. We brought back around 130 inquiry cards!

Later on in the week, we were able to take a tour of the stadium. We got to go to the suites, locker rooms, and the field. It was awesome.

We have plenty of more pics but that would make for a long post on our blog.

Family Home Evening

For yesterday's FHE, we had some friends over to carve pumpkins. Let me back up. We had dinner, a short lesson, and pumpkins. It was a night of fun! Paul carved "Mario" from Super Mario Brothers and I carved a big "Gordies" paw.

You Sank My Battleship

It is always good to spend quality time with your spouse and family. Well, since we don't have kiddos, we get to enjoy each other all the time but we also make time to have date night. This particular night, we stayed at home. After a lovely dinner, we played Battleship. We had taquitos topped with green cabbage, lettuce, creme, and salsa. It was yummy. This one of Paul's favorites.

To Brenda and Christina R: Yes, you will see paper plates that hold my beautiful creations. I have nice plates, it is just easier to use paper plates. :) Paul sank my battleship and the other four ships. He won but I sank 3 of his. I can't wait to have kids so we have more people to play with.

On The Road Again....

Paul and I are on the road again. We are now traveling the southwestern part of NM since Sunday afternoon. We started out in Socorro and have been working our way down. We will end in Chaparral Thursday late afternoon and then head home. We have one more recruiting trip for this season and it is to Ft. Worth, TX. That trip takes place the first week in Nov. I can't wait until all traveling is done! I miss my Gordies.

The Weekly Gordies!

As Gordies kept growing and growing, and growing, I gave her fewer baths to where it came to a point that she was getting so big that she did not receive any baths. One evening, Paul gave Dozer a bath and decided that all the dogs were getting a bath. So needless to say, Gordies got her first adolescent bath. She did not like it and jumped out of the tub twice!

We dog sat (is the correct way to say it?) this weekend for a friend. Of course it was a bulldog. Sampson is actually one of Chula's pups. He too has a cage like Chula but a lot bigger. Gordies decided to see what it was like to be in a cage.

To give you an idea, this is Sampson. He looks just like Chula except bigger! I am sure this is the size that Dozer will be (sigh).

I was going through all of our videos and pictures and this is what I found...

Last Christmas, I got Paul the soundtrack to "The Night at the Roxbury." Paul was so excited that he played it right away. My husband still keeps me laughing.

Excuse our messy bedroom. It looks a lot better now. We have purchased curtains since then.

More Color!

We are finally getting the house the way we want it. When we bought the house, the house was all white to include the all the walls, trim, and crown molding. Now our living room has two colors (taupe and earth tone). We also painted the little hallway earth tone. We are very happy with the way our little home is coming together.
