 This week was good. I was able to mail mom's stockings on Monday then start on Peter's. I finished his by the end of the week, so that was good. They turned out so cute and tiny!




My coworker, Liz, told me about this overstock store that has all these Christmas trees and how she got a $150 one for $30 and I was like..heck yeah! I am totally going to check it out. Paul humored me and we went together on Thursday. It was kind of gross and disorganized and there weren't a lot of personnel around but we did find a tree that was originally $260 and we got it for $50! It was totally unopened and I love it! Paul found it too, I'm so glad he was willing to come with me.
The weekend I sewed a ton and got started on Wendy's order and made some Thanksgiving napkins. Paul worked hard in lab and got to start his own project! It is very exciting and he is learning a lot.
We love you all!

  This week was good. It started kinda rough but ended fun. Paul has not really been interested in the research being done in the lab that he is rotating in so he asked if he could switch to a biochemical/physical lab and we found out this week that his request was granted! We are so happy and excited for the change and are excited for it to be a better fit for Paul. This weekend I went with some work friends to a pumpkin patch nearby and we went back to one of their apartments and had brunch and carved pumpkins. It was really fun! After Paul got done with lab this weekend, we went on a drive to the country and found this cute little farm that was doing free tractor rides and you could go pick out a pumpkin and look at the animals. We saw this longhorn and were surprised by how long their horns were! (The name did not prepare us). We enjoyed conference. It gave us a lot to think about and gave great encouragement. We hope you guys had a positive experience listening to the talks as wel

This week was good. Paul was able to focus on his coursework more this week since he finished his lab rotation last week. He will be done this next week and able to relax until after Christmas when he starts his new rotation. Work has been good. One of my coworkers is out, so I have been a lot busier, picking up some of her tasks that are due. It has been a great learning experience.  Saturday we got together with my ministering sister and her husband. Her husband has lived in Texas for 7 years and loves it here, so he was excited to tell us all the fun things to do here. We went to Grapevine, TX to see Christmas lights. It was about 15 minutes away and really cute. We're excited to hang out with them more. Congratulations to Matt and Hannah on welcoming a healthy baby girl into their family on Wednesday. We're very excited for them. Happy birthday to Dad and James this coming week. Love you all!

  This week we got a lot done. Monday morning we got our cars registered in Texas (finally!)  Tuesday, Amelia facetimed me. It was nice to catch up! I miss having conversations with my siblings regularly.  Wednesday we watched Sam and Emily's band performance. They did a great job!  Thursday we went out to dinner for Paul's birthday. It was pretty relaxed. Thank you for sending your cards and gifts for him. We really appreciate it! Friday, I dressed up for work as a scarecrow and Liz dressed up as Dolly Parton. Paul had a barbecue with his lab on Friday because his mentor is going on a two week leave with the army. He had a lot of fun getting to know more people. He got home later, so I went to vote after work while he was gone.  Saturday I got the first 4 stockings sent out! They turned out great, which I am really happy about. We celebrated Halloween with pizza and a scary movie. It was a good week! We hope you all had a fun week too :) Love you!
