Dear Santa,
  We have been very good this last year! We both tried hard in school and have continued working. We play nice on our intramural teams, try and make new friends at church, and try not to get frustrated when certain neighbors leave their laundry in WAY TOO LONG!! We're not perfect, but I'd check us off as Nice not Naughty. If I were really lucky to write Santa here is what I think our lists would look like...or in other words:
ATTENTION Family Members: Here are our Christmas Wishes :)

It seems like things have been less than exciting around here the last few weeks. So many school assignments, hours at work, intramural games, and working out. We are happy and healthy though- and both really looking forward to the break from school and work this week. We are heading down to So Cal for Thanksgiving with my family. Looking forward to a week of food, family pictures, bike ride to the beach, shopping and crafting with my mom, and watching my little sister, Chelsea, play in a soccer tournament. I'm sure there will be some football watching, Christmas shopping, and game playing as well. Also exciting: We are welcoming Melanie's boyfriend, Kris to Corona for the first time too! 
Happy Thanksgiving!

Brice is back! woo-hoo! While he was hitting up a fancy schmancy convention and playing on Bourbon street..I spent an entire day shopping at IKEA, Home Goods, and TJ-Maxx. I finished up a few "decor projects" I've had in mind. I am learning that I really like decorating and find it a fun creative outlet. Also, probably ran too much while Brice was gone...60 miles last week... and am sore today after 12 miles and pilates. Welcome November...in 3 weeks we'll be in California!!

New Lamps: base($15) and candle holders ($7). Spray painting was fun

I'm so glad Brice is back, but I'm so glad for the fun things I got this weekend! -Breann
