Nuts November


Wow, per usual, life has been super busy. 

Especially with work for Aaron and I both. Aaron is continuing to grow his business, and is getting referrals/splits from his mentor, which is great news! 

At my office, we just hired someone new, which results in the process of slowly training, while I am still working on all accounts full steam. Black Friday and the holidays, plus traveling to Denver add to the business. 10+ hour days are the norm lately. 

So Aaron and I's new tradition on Monday nights is to grab some food[or ice cream in my case] and continue our work for the night at his office in Holladay... so it's not all too bad. 

Iceburg for the win!
We love Bohemian Brewery literally just down the street from our house. It reminds me of Austria so much, and the food is DEE-licioius! 
 BASIC
We randomly sold our living room sectional. It was sliding all over the place, and not very comfortable. Since then we've been couch shopping at RC Willey. We finally found a couch/oversize chair set we could both agree on. 
This is the style we are getting, but because we chose different fabric, it's about a 6-8 week wait for them to custom make it. 

Please pray for us as we share the tiny loveseat in our front room. We need a new big couch ASAP!

And speaking of new purchases, Aaron though we needed a huge 70 inch TV... (no complaints) so all last weekend we worked on hanging it above the mantle. Not sure what got into that kid, he is usually set on budgets and finding ways to make things work, but we just dropped $2k+... haha again not complaining!

Halloween 2016

We've been celebrating Halloween all week. 

I've been sneaking away at our huge Costco sized candy bag all week leading up to Halloween :/

J Dawgs has been on my mind lately, so I had to make a stop on the way down to Strangling Brothers. HEART EYES. 
 I always get nervous before going into a haunted house.
I've been through Strangling Brothers many many times, but still get nervous. I was brave for a little though and even went first a couple of times.
Cotton Candy skies every morning lately have been a highlight. The only bummer is that the pretty sunrise only lasts about 2 minutes, all when I'm driving into work so I can't enjoy the view as much.
 Spencer, Lexi, Aar and I brought my grandpa's favorite McDee's. We had a lot of fun visiting, talking about typewriters and eating ice cream after.
 We hosted a huge party for a client down at the Castle in Lindon. It was the perfect event rental place for Halloween, reclaimed wood, iron chandeliers, it was pretty cool... but so stressful for me, setting up the AV, powerpoint, getting all the performers ready, prepped and paid. Didn't sit down for a second and hardly ate... so glad it's over.

We spent Halloween eating candy(we got 5 groups of trick or treaters, so we had tons of leftover candy), planning for our future business events and doing work late into the night. Sad to see the warmer days getting shorter and shorter.

Also we booked our Australia/New Zealand/Fiji trip yahoo!
