All Hallows' Eve

Childless couples in Rexburg usually have nothing besides a ward activity to do for Halloween. So I decided to do something about it. A week ago, we had a lovely All Hallows' Eve banquet with a couple of friends. The menu involved Bread Bowls, Salad, Shrimp and Corn Chowder and delicious desert made by my R2D2 friend Nicole. It was so much fun!

Nicole and Eric as R2D2 and Luke Skywalker, Ashley and Mark as the hot and rebellious Grease couple, Nathalie and Austin as Cleopatra and Quailman, Jack and I as Team Zissou from the Life Aquatic. I wish I could have invited a lot more couples, but our apartment is pretty small. 

I had so much fun putting this together. Improvised banquet table and some decor. Also the cutest caramelized apple bites made by Nicole in the pictures above. Delicious!

Can't wait for Halloween next year. I want to make this a tradition. I already have some costume ideas for next year.

How was your Halloween? Did you dress up? What was your costume?

3rd Film

What are the four seasons in Idaho? 

Almost winter

winter

still winter

and road construction

I certainly do not miss the snow. But I do find these pictures from our third Holga film quite beautiful. Jack took 80% of these photos. But since this blog has his name on the title I believe it's ok to post them as OUR own. 

Oh snow... if you weren't so cold and deceiving. 

So ready for Summer.

PS: Thank you Brynne for sharing the Idaho weather joke! So true.

PPS: You can see our 1st film here and our 2nd here.

Very lucky indeed.

Meet Lili. She doesn't 'meow' she 'mews', it's the cutest thing. It makes her sound like a lady, so feminine. Jack and I are house and cat-sitting for a couple of months. I am allergic to cats but I don't mind taking Claritin (non-drowsy) everyday to have this fur ball cuddling on our laps and running around the house. She moves like a ninja and every move is premeditated. She is as stubborn as they come, but I love her so very much.

Name: Queen Liliuokalani Wilson (named after a Hawaiian queen + our friends and owners Katie and Kris' last name)

Favorite toy: Jack's old guitar strings

Favorite spot: Top of the stairs where she can look over her kingdom

Quirk: Hide under the coffee table and attack vulnerable legs that are walking by.

Even though she is a black cat we are very lucky, because she is the coolest feline. I understand why Katie misses her.

Forgotten {best} friends

Chapped lips, dry skin, staticky hair, frozen toes and runny nose.

❄We are back in Idaho!❄  

Lots of unpacking, cleaning and grocery shopping to do. Probably the last 3 things I want to do after driving across the country. 

And even after temporarily forsaking these two, I can still count on them. They are always there for me. That is what I call a Best Friend.

Happy Winter!

❤Jenny

On the road again

2,328 is the number of miles we will be driving this week. I love road trips but I am pretty sure that by the end of this one I will temporarily have a change of mind about it. Thank goodness we have two lovely stops on the way, to see our dear families in Houston and Orem.

We are on a week long road trip (see map below). 

It's good to see everyone updating their blogs, I think there was a little pause after the holidays. I felt a little lonely without hearing from everybody. I guess I need to get a life.... FAST!

❤Jenny

It's getting colder and colder the further we move away from Florida. :( I shall miss you dearly, Sunshine State.

Time to enjoy the beautiful weather!!! 07.04

Okay, this weekend was too much fun. I was so excited for it. It went by too fast! So here is a list of things that I did. It is backwards but its okay!

Hung out with my brother-in-law Jeff.

Had a lot of fun with Jack at the water park

Baby-sat the cutest baby

Hung out with my lovely family

Caught up with my best friend (long time, no see)

Attended a beautiful wedding

Hung out by the sand dunes of Idaho

Got a lot of sun on my skin

There it is. All my weekend summarized. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I am loving the heat and the summer! My favorite time of the year! :D

So I have this great passion for clouds. They are just nice looking (most of the time). I have this dream of hugging a cloud, I think it would be like hugging a GIANT super comfortable Pillow (I wish). How can they seem so tangible sometimes? It is so amazing. Okay this was enough to weird you all out. But here are some pictures that I took today with my cellphone. Rexburg has had crazy weather. Like my friend Brynne said, Idaho is having an Identity Crisis, they probably think they are Washington or something. Oh well. Let them decide, while we get drenched in rain and try not to step in a pond of muddy water! I hope summer comes soon. Ac

cording to my Tabby Cat calendar, June 21st is the first day of summer. Maybe it will come then. During fathers day! I also wanted to tell you all that have not seen "Up", the new Pixar movie, to go immediately! It is a great movie, and they have one of the short movies, called Partly Cloudy, at the beginning that involves clouds. I was really happy about it! And also for those of you that wait till the credits are over to see if there is some surprise at the end... this one doesn't so you can leave shortly after.  

Well enjoy the photos.
