goodbye

as of 12:01, January 1st, 2010 we are off to start our drive to Rexburg, Idaho and on the way we shall stop in Sandy, Utah for 3 days to visit my lovely family :)

Cali's been fun, but back to school we go. Aaron graduates in July, i'll work... somewhere... we'll see mine and Aaron's family more often... then we'll be back in SoCal begining of August 2010. And that is when our new life adventure starts. No more moving every 6 months or so, no more packing, no more apartment searching, no more throwing things away...

So goodbye Cali... Hello open road!...and snow :(

A little bit of Christmas

Say hello to the Antis Family Homemade Christmas Tree :) Made by yours truly. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season. All I know is I'm looking forward to christmas morning with hot cocoa and cinnamon rolls and my hubby dearest.

Follow The Star

Well I accomplished a goal.... for once.... I interpreted for an event. This year I knew I wanted to be involved in one of the two big stake events this year. So I chose Follow The Star. I interpreted for the 6pm performance for one deaf man and a couple ASL students. It was great! I wasnt really nervous, I have the best tutor. My mother. She's the best interpreter I know and she is always willing to help. She's always incouraged me to follow my dream to do whatever I want to do. I never really had a strong desire to be an interpreter but somehow thru this experience I finally could "see" myself as one. So we'll see...



This Christmas will be good... except we're moving January 1st. We dont really decorate for any holiday just because we know we'll be moving in 6 months anyways and dont have room for it in the car to lug it all year round. So as for the extent of our christmas cheer in our little apartment is... christmas cards on the fridge, some sticky cute xmas sign on our window, and our little pointsetta.

This year we're staying put and Gpa & Gma Antis will come down and Aarons cousins will come and we'll get together with them. So that's something to look forward too! Then 7 days later we'll see my family in Utah :)

It's going by too quick! ahh!

Christmas Lights

Going to Salt Lake City January 1st! And cannot wait to see this! Havnt been to Temple Square since the day I got married. But I can say I'm not to excited for the -5 degrees at night.... no thanks!






Might as well start letting it out.... Moving back to Idaho Jan 1.... stay with family for a couple days and head to Rexbuuuurrrrg Jan 4th. School starts Jan 5th. Turn up the heater please :) I'm happy to be going back tho. My family will be 4 hrs away, Aarons family 10 minutes away.. an enviornment I love, people I love, school I love, but homework... not so much.. Goodluck Aaron! (maybe this year I wont have to take a class for you)




Let's go! Roadtrip!

Thanksgiving in Oregon 2009

Went to Roseburg, Oregon again for Thanksgiving this year. Nice to get away from "wonderful" california. Nice to see fog, rain, mountains, and real TREES!


this is sleepy aaron on the couch after he drove the whole way to oregon

reminiscing about the high school band days... like father like sons

Grandpa Toad & Aaron

beautiful table i put together :)

Dad and Aaron goofin'

aaron & grandpa

aaron & grandma rubye!

the best part about the whole trip was that Grandpa Toad and Grandma Rubye got baptised! 93 years old! woohooo! its never to old to do the right thing ;)

Love thanksgiving time, love family, and friends, and ESPECIALLY GOOD FOOD! But most of all my wonderful amazing husband <3

Aarons 24th Birthday!

Aarons 24th birthday was a success!! I planned a suprise dinner with his work associates at Yardhouse in the Irvine Spectrum on Monday night.

Here's the group!

reading Pasielys bday letter to aaron

a dare of course, a little ketchup and mustard never hurt nobody!

bday cake the office made for him!

Got the brand new video ipod!

the book my mother gave him

cutest pic of aaron and i

known as the 3 amigos! Dean, Aaron, Uncle Charlie

Aaron got loads of Mt Dew from his uncle at his desk in the office!

Saw the movie Blindside on Saturday night, it was the best movie i've ever seen! And sandra bullock is hilarious! a must see.


Apparently 24 is "old" to Aaron and next year we're starting to count down... so next year, fyi, he'll be 23! and as for me, i'm excited about counting up to... 21!! woohoo!!

Thankgiving Time!!

With the thanksgiving holiday coming around the corner, why not post some funny and cute pictures to get into the spirit! :)















I hope you laughed just as much as i did on some of these :) And for a wonderful little thanksgiving spirit cheer, go to LDS.org, scroll down, find the videos, spirit of thankgiving video, or go to youtube.com and type in spirit of thanksgiving. it's a great little clip! Enjoy!

And we're off to Roseburg, Oregon for some fineeee cooking by grandma antis! :) yum Yum yum! hope everyone has a nice thanksgiving!

my friends

yes yes i know this link is myspace and i am highly against myspace, but i am most definitaly not against my friend tandy shields and her lovely bf edo azran. they are two of the most amazing artists i know. they truly have a god given talent for singing. i hope they always make music that sounds so wonderful to my ears. they call themselves tandedo

http://www.myspace.com/tandyshields

listen to the song Boi (Come to Me)- The first time I heard this song they performed it at a concert at BYU Idaho, hands down they were the best performance of the night. And p.s. Edo is singing in Hebrew (his family is jewish) and Tandy is singing what he says in English

latest purchase

dont be jealous you can get one for yourself too at Old Navy for only $35 instead of $70! now i'm not a big fan of publically displaying my purchases but i couldn't help this one ;) i've been dying for a loveable plaid winter coat... thank you honey for my early xmas gift... your the greatest!



(i'm on my way to purchase this at the irvine spectrum right after aaron gets home in about t-11 minutes, so hopefully all goes well and it looks wonderful on me... which i dont doubt...)
----------------------------------------------
OKAY OKAY OKAY, so aaron and I just got back from irvine spectrum to try on my jacket i put on hold........... and it didnt not nearly look as good as we thought it would. So disappointed i gave it back... But i did find something similar to this:

it has two less buttons but just as cute! I am so happpy! And naturally Aaron finds something for him as well :) he made a great choice to something similar to this:

which i do say looks great on him :) I love old navy and they have some great veterans day sales going on this week! the 12th-15th! Go shop!

Amelia

After a long day at the office for Aaron and a grueling day of bordem for me, we headed to the Irvine Spectrum to see if we could find something to do. Naturally we end up at the movie theatre and though we really wanted to see A Christmas Carol we choose on Amelia, and will save A Christmas Carol for an 'after-thanksgiving-day' movie. So we quickly grabbed some dinner at the food court and got our popcorn and enjoyed this movie.




I have always loved Amelia's story and though the movie didn't have much of a point, it was just a great way to see what her life might have been like. See had so much passion and stamina, always wanting to go the distance with no one to hold her back.



The movie was good and I'm glad we saw it. Worth $23? eeeh, sure.



NEXT UP!: A CHRISTMAS CAROL (isn't charles dickens wonderful!?)
