Girls Luncheon

Last Friday my sister set up a "girls family lunch." It was so fun to see my cousin (in the picture with me) and to have lunch with my sister and two of my sister-in-laws.

I have such an awesome sister...Thanks cute girl for getting us all together. I think we all enjoyed an opportunity to dress up, get out of the house and enjoy each other. I can't wait until next month when we do this again.

New Scarves

I have been knitting some scarves lately. SM has been encouraging me to sell them since I love knitting them but I don't wear them very often. Finally I decided I'd see if they could sell.

I asked my sister if she'd be willing to see if any of her co-workers would be interested in buying a decorative scarf or two. So, she took them to work and sold three...yipee!

And so I am very motivated (by money now) to continue knitting scarves and seeing if my sister can sell a few more scarves. (Thanks to my cousin for being my scarf model).

Austin Texas

SM and I spent the weekend in Austin Texas with our friends. We were able to be downtown at the State Capital of Texas. Wow! What a huge building!

Look at how tall that dome is...it made for lots of stairs but a place to put all the pictures of former govenors of the state of Texas.

Look at those cute girls sitting in the sun and enjoying the beautiful weather...and it was gorgeous weather. We were excited that the weather was so warm and inviting. Very different than the cold, snowy weather that we left.

I loved that the hinges of the doors in the capitol had this inscription and decoration.

This is where politicians tell the public about the decisions that have been made. I wanted to go up behind the microphone to make my own declarations but chickened out at the last moment.

This is a photo shot from three or floors above this atrium. I actually couldn't look over the edge and so SM had to take the picture. It just was too high for me to feel comfortable looking down.

And this last photo is looking up towards the dome. It was so ornate and beautiful and I'm so glad I was able to go see the Capitol of Texas and our wonderful friends.

Halloween in Austin Texas

We were lucky enough to be with our friends in Austin Texas for Halloween. In the above picture, the dog Phoebe is wearing her Halloween costume for a few seconds...it's a mullet for dogs. Below, check out the biker chick with her friend...me, and my costume is really scary. I'm the lady with the spider on my shoulder!

And who are these good looking guys? They are our handsome husbands. Both of them had a great time in their costumes. Because we were attending a church function, some of the ward members were surprised to see these guys on Sunday morning with totally different hairdos.
We had a great time with these friends.
