bubblegum alley

Josh and I went to visit his brother and sister-in-law in central California last weekend.
We had so much fun, so much that I forgot to take pictures.

I did take some photos here, because I've been wanting to go here for over a year now!
It's called Bubblegum Alley.
There are different rumors of how it got started, but it has created awesomeness!
It's a bunch of ABC (Already Been Chewed) gum.
It's disgustingly awesome!
I LOVED IT!!

Have you done this yet??

I love this idea! And I love the idea of putting it as a button on blogs!!

I think you should do it! :)

Happy Fall!

No Fall is complete without a Dinner in a Pumpkin!
Jill created this tradition, and I LOVE it!

Jill and I got last minute tickets to see The Donny and Marie Show. It sounded like a good excuse to have a "girls trip".
We had a ticket for you Collette, we saved you a seat...:( {sigh}

Mom was the most excited about seeing Donny's Dancing with the Stars trophey! :)

I was excited to see the fashion selections. I don't know too many Donny and Marie songs, but I've heard the show is great.

Jill knew more than me. Unfortunately, Donny lost his voice about half way into the show. :(
They did the best improv they could. Good to know they definitely don't lip sync!
So, I think the Donny and Marie show is still on my list to see. The part we saw was good!
And it's always fun to have girl time!

Dear Collette #1

Dear Collette,

I got the message.
I guess I can't be demanding if I am not willing to do some work myself.

For Halloween this year, Josh and I went to Arizona.
Josh had the exciting opportunity to meet all the Arizona girls (except Michelle).
They didn't disappoint. But such information shouldn't be blogged about.
I guess you'll have to call, even though I know you don't like talking on the phone. hehe

We, eh hem, I had several ideas, we had decided on this but at the last minute I wasn't sure. Josh got the experience of seeing me in "project mode", indecision "project mode" at that...not pretty. He offered several suggestions...several! But finally we both agreed on this...

Ugly School Pictures in a frame.

I feel the need to explain to you, because I'm sure you have already had the thought...while it might look as though Josh had a mullet in 1992, he did not. It was purely for humor purposes.


I personally think I got pretty darn close.

I thought you would appreciate the big hair comeback. I know it took me several years to come out of it...and I don't know if I am completely healed, but I appreciate your patience and unconditional love. Even with my big hair on your wedding day...oh sigh!

Here's what some of the girls and their men came as:

I forgot to get a picture of the host family, Jen and Rebuen. That's kinda rude. And I also didn't get a pic of Rob and Aly, they were Peace and Quiet....haha!
I am amazed that these ladies were my friends when my hair was like that everyday. And not only were they my friends....they made me feel like I was pretty AND cool. Heaven, BLESS these women!!
(Sorry Kanani about completely covering you in the picture...sigh)

I hope you are amazed that I blogged, because I am. And I even have some more drafts that I haven't posted...so exciting!!

Thanks for making me do it! :)
Love, your lil' sis
