Weekend Update

Hello everyone.
It's been a while since I posted anything.
Some updates:

The FBI has completed my background check and I am officially approved to do my student teaching somewhere. (Location yet unknown)

We began using our baseboard heaters in October when it got really cold. We turned on the one in the front room and the one in the bathroom. We decided we'd see how much it cost and determine if it was worth it. We got our power bill. It is lower than last month's when we didn't use the heaters at all. $11.00. I think we'll be using the heaters.

We had an AMAZING (if I do say so myself) Halloween party with some friends of ours. It was really fun. We began with a spider web thing through the other apartments. It was creepy enough in the dark without adding anything. Chad decorated the hallway with Porter's stuff, and we had donuts on a string, pin the tail on the cat, build a foam haunted house the fastest, and a candycorn count. We had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures:














(This is a "mister" Chad bought at Porter's, not dry ice. We discovered (too late) that they do in fact sell dry ice at Broulim's.)



Chad and I dressed up for the Halloween Concert (which I, thankfully, wasn't in this year) Here is our dorky music costume. (To which the usher said - Oh, you must be choir people. ... because only choir music has repeat signs?)
One of the choir girls saw us in the lobby and said "Aww - together you go on and on and on and on and on and on..."




My friends bought guinea pigs a few weeks ago, and we went over to visit. They are so cute!! (The guinea pigs, not the friends... ) I'm sure mom is rolling her eyes.




My senior recital is exactly 3 weeks from today. *sigh*
My hearing is supposed to be next Friday. I will be so glad when it is over.

It is snowing.

I leave you with a picture of a sunrise taken from our kitchen window a while ago.
