TJ's company party

TJ is sporting his new suit. Technically he isn't supposed to have it until Christmas, but I let him wear it to his company Christmas party.
I have a HOT husband!
Here we are all dressed up to go to TJ's company party. It was so much fun to get all dressed up and go to a fancy party. TJ let me get a new outfit so I could play dress-up! The big event was downtown on the top floor of the Warwick hotel. It was beautiful. We had to drive to and from in a snow storm, but it was worth it! We danced overlooking the city lights and the falling snow! It was a very fun night. I just love to play dress-up from time to time! Getting all dressed up and going to a Christmas party, got me even more excited for Christmas to come. I can hardly wait to see family! I love you all and will see you soon!

Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING FUN AT THE WARNER HOUSE!

TJ is showing off his guitar hero skills! He was ten times better than I was when I got my hands on the guitar. We really had a great Thanksgiving at home. I know that we are now closer to Chirstmas, but I still wanted to post a little about our Thanksgiving. I am thankful for so much each year, but this year I am grateful for a little bit more. I just love being married to such a wonderful man! It is so great to be able to see him with my family. I always said that I wanted to marry someone that valued family and allowed me to continue to spend time with my family. I also wanted someone that had a wonderful family of his own, and I tell you what I did! I am so blessed to have two wonderful families now! Love you all so very much! To the Grays, thanks for letting me be part of your wonderful family!

Carving our Halloween Pumpkins

We spent Halloween at home. We carved our pumpkins and had the Elders over for dinner. I made chili and scones. I have to say it was yummy! We had a pumpkin carving contest and of course I won because I was the judge and it was only between TJ and me! Then we spent the rest of the night handing out candy to all 6 of our trick-or-treaters! I guess that's what happens when you live in an apartment complex with a gate.
















TJ worked so hard to carve his pumpkin. We used really sharp knives, which I was a little scared to do. Monday morning I sliced my thumb with a knife. We were both very careful and no one lost any limbs because of our carving!

I've been TAGGED!

Well I have been tagged so I will try my best to share something that not many people know about me. I hope it is entertaining for you all!

The rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I stopped a pick-pocketer on the bus yesterday. WOW what an experience! I was riding down the 16th street mall bus with TJ's dad and sister when I saw some things. First I noticed this guy holding a coat like he was covering someone, so I first thought he had a girl with him or something. Then I looked down to see his hand on another ladies purse. I could hardly believe what I saw. I looked at the guy and he made eye contact with me. I stared at him for about 30 seconds to see what he would do. I was in scared mode and didn't vocally say anything, but I didn't need too. He got scared and told the lady that her wallet was falling out of her purse and then hurried off the bus at the next stop. The lady thanked me and started to tear up as she checked her purse. I was glad I looked up and saw it in time! Always be aware of what is going on around you and where your wallet is.

2. I really enjoy coloring. TJ bought me my very first 96 pack of crayons for my birthday and a coloring book. He even colors with me! I guess that comes from working with kids all day at work and coloring with them.

3. I am a perfectionist when it comes to school things. I like to make things nice and neat so that I can use them again. I figure if I am making something for school, I will take a little extra time and make it nice. This means that sometimes I dont like to let my teacher aids help me because they are about saving time. Just one of my silly querks.

4. I am the queen of battle ship. I beat TJ every time we play. It is good that I have at least one game I can win at because I'm not the best loser. Sometimes I get really mad when TJ beats me at a game. I am just discovering how competitive I really am.

5. I use washable bathtub crayons to leave messages on the shower walls for TJ. Once again this goes back to my love for crayons. It is fun to decorate the shower walls and tell my love just how much I love him.

6. I love to buy children's books, especially from the Scholastic Book Orders. The book orders are one of my favorite things about being a teacher - I get to order books each month! I love the 95 cent book.

Well I hope you learned something new and exciting about me.

Denver Aquarium

TJ took me to the Denver Aquarium for my Birthday. We had a ton of fun. We were really surprised to see Tigers at the Aquarium. They have four that they train 6 times a day to do tricks in the water, where there are fish swimming all around! We had a great time.

Colorado Rockies

We enjoy going downtown to watch the Colorado Rockies play. Every game we have gone to they have won! I think we are good luck!
TJ taught me how to take score during the game. Now we take turns scoring the two teams while we watch the game.

Cruise Pictures

I know these are out of order since we went on our cruise before we moved to Colorado, but I really don't know how to move them to be in order.

Our cruise was so much fun. Here we are hiking up the middle of the Dunn's River Falls. We hiked up the middle of a waterfall!

The Mayan Ruins were amazing.

Must be prepared in case of an emergency.

Dining with the family was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the cruise!

Garden of the Gods

We took a day trip down to Colorado Springs to Garden of the Gods. It is an incredibale place to go. It was fun to walk around and see all the different rock formations. It is so beautiful here!

Our Honeymoon

We went to a Bees game while we were on our honeymoon. They picked us to play a game between innings. We played against a couple that were attending UofU so it became a big rival compitition between the schools. We of course won!!!

At the zoo. We enjoyed pretending we were kids, oh wait we are big kids!

Wedding pictures

These are for the people I have promised to share some wedding pictures with. Sorry it has taken so long to post some.

You have to put in a kissing picture!

Hiking Mt. Bierstadt

At the top of Mt. Bierstadt. Colorado is such a beautiful place to be in the outdoors.

This is as we started up our first 14er. We hiked Mt. Bierstadt with some of the people from TJ's work. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but we made it to the top!!
