wassups!

So, I got a plate rack like this (only not like this cuz i got it for 8 bucks at big lots....)
and i know you all sit at home and you are like... allie has it so rough, i think i will get her a present because she works so hard at everything she does. and then you are like i bet a girl like her loves plates.
why, yes i do.
and to make your shopping a little easier here are plates i would love having on my wall!



aren't they all so pretty.
anyway- i will post a pic when i find the 3 most awesome plates to hang on my cheap plate rack.

nay nay got his mission call! (note: picture above is not from the night he got his mission call. since mentioned picture, nay has grown a full set of chest hair and doesn't go around shirtless with a nasty necklace on...)

Curitiba BRAZIL! what!!! how are we all gonna manage? he will do great. because he always does great at everything.
and we will miss him. but... it is the cutest thing to see him so excited.
i love you baby brother nay.

as a tribute to nay- i found an old poem he wrote about my mom. here it is. the last line is my ultimate favorite.

Mom

Being with you makes my heart sing

Even when you make me clean.

I love it when you talk to me

You make me think of butterflies

Fluttering through my heart.

Mother, I love you, though I may not show it

But I think of you, even when you are not with me,

I think you’re very special,

You know it, yes you do,

Because you have two men in love with you.

what's been happening...

My father-in-law graciously gave me SUNS pre season tickets. I took aud.... and guess who was there. Katie's old BF. THUNDER DAN. he was like... will you tell katie i miss her and i want her back. and ... her retainer.

we did not know SHAQ got traded. we did not know mr. raja bell no longer was on the suns either. we learned a lot that night.

dental hygiene girls at a seminar. we are goofy.

no but seriously this seminar that you pay 30 bucks to go to has the best snacks. so, andrea was thinkin right when she brought little zip lock baggies. i got water, trail mix, fruit, bags of chips and malt balls.
score, right?!!!cheap???? yeah, i know.

i have been having a problem with my keys lately. like locking myself out of my house. or.... leaving my keys in the door all night. .... practicly begging for creeps to come get me. i was searching my house for 20 minutes looking for them. something told me to look in the front door.
golly. i'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.
and p.s-- i know i need some girly key chains. i'm working on it.

we spent the afternoon at the lake for miss rhea's birthday. it was a blast! this is my cute brother in law taylor. with his super cute sunglasses.

he is so cute too.

the gang minus sam. because he was taking the picture. wish we all got a pic together....

woo hoo for the oral cancer walk! 20 bucks for 2 miles! thats 10 dollars a mile ladies and gents. spendy.

we went to the state fair.... to people watch and watch people spend their life savings on life size dollar bill pillows.

And... also to watch people clog their arteries with yummy stuff like deep fried bacon. what??
oh my-sick.

i'll end with this picture. craft day with mom and kate at hobby lobby. kate was like... i need to go get some batting.
and... then she came back with enough batting for like 10 years. and left me and my mom in line looking like we're material hogs.

anyway... yay for NOVEMBER! i love this month--- because the TURKEY TROT and THANKSGIVING! and it is finally cool!
i must go. i am late for school.
later foolios!
