I got it all together and it was magnificent! It was love, true love.
I feel like it was the final piece to make things come together in my house. I guess I can throw all those dinner parties I have been waiting to have.
I was joined by my three amigos: Taffy, Richard, and Ashlee.
The party was in full force and getting into character was so fun. It was so we weird to talk to people as someone else and just make things up as you go. I have never been in that kind of situation before and it was pretty entertaining.
I was a bit jealous of these two, they got to be saloon girls together and they looked hot! They are so stinking cute and I just loved their costumes. How fun to dress up like that?
The whole evening was totally enjoyable and I just loved it. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to participate in one at some point.
Photo ops were abundant and I loved it.
I think the highlight of my day was getting to spend the entire day with my best friends. My sisters are my closest friends and getting to just hang out and celebrate all day was fabulous.
One of my projects for the wedding was to do the name cards for the wedding dinner. They had to be color coded by what each person ordered and then I alphabetized them to be easy to find. I was actually rather impressed with how they turned out. I guess all the work was worth it.
It was a spectacular day and I hope it was everything they wished for. I am so happy for these two (and am a little jealous that they are sitting in Hawaii for the next two weeks). 
Tonight, the night before, Brooke and I ventured to the grocery store. I don't know how this really relates to the wedding, but we did get treats for our evening with the happy couple to be. But most of all, I just wanted to share with you the comedian I travel with. I am constantly cracking up.
The highlight of the night before was getting to be with the couple themselves. They were nice enough to venture to my little home at the end of the runway and spend the evening with us. We had a little celebratory toast for the big day tomorrow.
Tomorrow is such a big and exciting day! I am so happy that Candice has decided to join our crazy family and makes Jake so happy.
I got the lights all on and was pretty impressed with my work. I was falling in love already.
It was time to get the decorations out and put on the tree. I was so excited about everything that I had, and I ended up with so many options. It was so fun to put together my very own tree. One of the many joy's of having my own house. Not even the simplest of tasks get past Brooke's crazy antics. I became a tree and she nestled herself into our tree. Things like this are why I LOVE living with this girl.
The finished product:
I am literally in love with my tree. It came together so well and I love the decorations I ended up with. The pictures don't do it justice, so you will all have to make a point to stop by my house and see it for yourself. You are all officially invited!
My whole department at work went with the "Alice in Wonderland" theme and I think it turned our pretty well. It was fun that so many people got dressed up.
Here are just a few of the characters:
I was actually surprised how well my costume came together. As of Wednesday, I was not planning on dressing up at all. But after a co-worker forced me to the DI on our lunch and I found the perfect hat and coat, my costume was a go. It just needed some additional touches that I finished up that night. 
I am so lucky to have such good friends and get to spend the evening with them, even if it does include basketball.
There are many things I love about having my own house, one of my most recent favorite things is being able to decorate. My house lacks home decor in general, but I decided to spruce things up and bring some seasonal cheer into my house. I have loved having the rich, warm orange color, the smell of pumpkin spice lingering in the air, and the reminder of the season.
Friday night was a night out with Brooke. Richard was hosting a pumpkin carving party and we decided to join in the fun. It was so fun to catch up with Richard and use all my creative energy to whip up my pumpkin (yes, that is my very original jack-o-lantern). 
Today was packed full of events all on it's own. It started with baby duty for the singles while the married's went to the temple with Candice. I was assigned the Jensen Hoard and got to take care of these cute little munchkins all morning. We took advantage of the fall weather and headed out for a fall photo shoot to kill some time.
These kids are just adorable and it makes me sad that I don't live with them any more. how can you not just fall in love with their cute faces?
We goofed around a bit and these kids LOVE getting their picture taken.
After meeting up with the family for a luncheon we headed to the Utah game. Since Jake was in town and had bought tickets, we were lucky enough to all go together. It was fun to be there and be reminded of the good old days when the siblings would all go to games together. The game kept us on our feet right up until the win in overtime. Talk about excitement.
My night is ending with a dinner in with Brooke and Shannon and watching the BYU vs. TCU game (cheering for TCU of course). Only us Jensen girls try to fit in this much football in one day and feel so passionate about it. Go Utes!
