The Accident

On Thursday Michelle and I were in a car accident. We were headed to JoAnn's Fabrics to get some material for Michelle's costume. As we were approaching the intersection we had a green light and were expecting to drive through as you would usually expect to do in the given situation. This particular time however a man driving a van in the far left lane ahead of us changed his mind as to where he was headed and decided to turn right. This, of course, meant he would have to cut across several lanes. A daring move to say the least. Needless to say, we were not anticipating his venture into our particular path and we hit him dead center. Our car was pronounced dead at the scene and had to be towed away. Michelle was briefly in schock and we both suffered minor scrapes and bruises. Other than that we were both alive and well. The thwarted effort to make Michelle's costume did not go unredeemed. So as to have you better understand the event I have drawn a diagram pictured below.

The End!

We went with my family to the Hillcrest Farms Pumpkin Patch.

New Addition

We became aware of some kittens who needed rescuing so we opened our arms and welcomed them in. However, at first they didn't want to come near us. They had not been in very much contact with people so at first they were quite scared and hid most of the time. After a couple days they warmed up and now snuggle, purr, and love to play!

Thursday after my birthday we had dinner at my parent's house to celebrate. Everyone was there including my Grandpa and Eleanor. We had yummy swiss steak for dinner and Sarah made 2 delicious cheesecakes for dessert!!

Thanks to all of you for helping me celebrate!

Birthday!!

For my birthday I was surprised with a trip to Disneyland!! I got in free for my birthday and my family helped pitch in for Jonah's ticket. The weather was perfect and it wasn't too crowded, the longest we waited in line was about 4o minutes.

Our first ride was the teacups, Jonah wasn't sure what he would think.

We stayed late even though we had to be at work at 6:00am the next day. The firework show made the less than 4 hours of sleep that we got worth it!!

Fall Fun

Sorry for the lack of posting as of late. We don't have internet at our house so it makes blogging a bit more challenging. But please don't give up on our blog, we will continue to post!

The weather has taken a turn for the cooler and we've been enjoying riding our bikes to the park and slacklining, playing frisbee, or just hanging out with friends...

On Sunday the 5th we had a very good friend come and visit us. Caitlin was our first guest to come and stay at our new house. It was great to see her and we had a wonderful time catching up.

We had fun light painting the first night

After which we watched a movie and roasted marshmallows over candles.

On Monday we went thrift store shopping and found some great deals, Caitlin even found a pair of cowboy boots!

Thanks for coming Caitlin!
