Last weekend Gary and I went to the Farmer's market down the street. It was the smallest one I have ever been too but it had the most tamale stands I've ever seen! We decided to buy one so I could try it. Not only was it amazing in my opinion but Gary thought it was pretty amazing as well. Since he served in Mexico, he knows when he is eating real Mexican. It was pretty fun.
When we got home we ran downstairs to grab the thank you cards and saw that the mail lady was already on our street. We ran up and sat in front of the mail box stamping them as fast as we could. Luckily, we did it just in time!! Now I'm working on my side's thank you cards. I got through quite a few yesterday and should be finished in the next week!!

One Crazy Week!
This has been a pretty great week! I was disappointed to only be working one day but since it's Fall Break I didn't have much of an opportunity to do more. So, I worked Wednesday as a teacher's assistant in the special ed program. These students were not as functional. In fact, a few were completely non verbal. It was the worst subbing experience I've had in my two years of teaching but I learned a lot.
The other 4 days I spent cranking out thank you cards. I'm done with Gary's side now and hope to mail them out today when Gary gets home from work. Now, when I'm finished writing I'll start on my side. I enjoy writing letters to people but 200 of them is a little much! I'm disappointed that its taken me so long but it's pretty time consuming.
Gary was successful at work as usualy. He made a few sales this week and is working on applying for a higher position in the company. His boss loves him since he makes so many sales and helps the team out with all his great ideas. It sounds like he doesnt want to lose him so we'll see what happens.
New Fish!
On Wednesday we went to the fish store and bought two more Angle fish for our tank. One of the two we have (Goatee Man) picks on the other one (Millhouse) and we read that having group helps. Now we have 4 Angel fish. The new ones names are Charlie (after Charlie Chaplin because he has a mustache) and Ruben.
Robynn bought me a frog for the tank as a birthday present too! That was a dream come true! Ha ha, that sounds cheesy but I've always wanted a frog and now I have one! He stays in the fish tank but he hides under the sand so we don't see him much. Maybe next time he climbs up I'll name him.
Oh, for restaurant night we went walking down town looking for something good. We ended up at a Mexican restaurant. It was amazingly good food and really cheap. I'm not sure what it was called but I'll write it down when Gary gets home.
Anyway, that was our week. Its been great. I'm excited for the weekend!

Fish Tank...
About three weeks ago Gary bought me a 10 gallon fish tank for my birthday. We decided that building up to a huge salt water tank would be our goal.
Well that only lasted, oh.... six days. We grew impatient and decided to start looking on Craigslist for a bigger tank. We found a 75 gallon for a great price and decided to just go ahead and do it now. It was seriously such a great deal!! We went and picked it up on Friday. Sid came over and helped Gary bring it down stairs and we spent about three hours setting it up and filling it with water. When we were finished we watched "The Invasion". We didn't get to bed til about 2:30!
So now we have a 4 foot long fish tank in our front room. It's amazing but now we need a few more fish so we're going to go get some tomorrow!
Oh, and I cut Gary's hair this weekend. I have never cut a guys hair before so I was a little hesitant but Gary talked me through it. I am sad to report that it is far from perfect. In fact, Dan commented on it on Sunday asking Gary "who cut your hair?" Ha ha ha... its really not that bad but you can tell that I'm still learning. I hope I do a great job next time.

Birthday!
We celebrated my 21st birthday this weekend! I worked Friday then ran home to wait for Ryan and Rachelle to come. They came to stay with us for the weekend since they had tickets to General Conference. Ryan went to a mission reunion and Rachelle and I watched "The Break Up" while waiting for the guys to get back (Gary was at his office). Once they got home we went and got pizza. Sid and Eric came over for a while too.
Saturday Gary and I woke up, got ready and ran to the bank. We got back and Dan and Robynn had come down and set up conference on the tv. After the first session Ryan, Rachelle, Gary and I went to the pet store to buy some fish for the fish tank Gary bought me two weeks before. We bought 4 Neon Tetra's, 2 Angel fish, and 2 Albino Cory. The fish were a gift from Kent and Jeanette and like I said, the tank was from Gary.
After watching the second session of conference we went to Keith and Julie's so Rachelle could see everyone. We hung out for a while then came home. Rachelle made amazing apple crisp! We started watching a movie but I was tired and just went to bed.
Sunday was great! I woke up and Gary had got me apple crisp with ice cream and put candles on it and had everyone sing to me. That pretty much made my day! Then we watched conference!
After confrere I opened my presents from my grandparents and Tanya. They gave me two amazingly cute shirts, a necklace and a target gift card. Oh! And Rachelle gave me an awesome picture frame! Then we went to dinner at Keith and Julies which was amazing! They even made me a birthday cake! Then we went home to get ready for bed.
Monday I got a package from my family! Colton got me chocolate raspberry sticks, which are my favorite! Bayli got me a couple cooking sets and my parents got me a cute fall candle holder.
