I have never blogged before so if you get bored with my post feel free to close out of our blog.
1. I am a football homer. Especially BYU football. It's my only true hobby. Casi supports me in it 100%. I love everything about football season.
2. I married above me. Casi is the greatest. I don't know how she puts up with me. She's so neat and classy and I am not. I'm glad I tricked her into marrying me.
3. I will graduate in 3 Weeks from BYU with a bachelors in Construction Management. Then I plan on building roads for Geneva Rock. Maybe, I'll go back and get an MBA. Maybe.
4. I talk too much. My teachers, fellow students, wife, and friends all know it. I'm just glad they put up with it because sometimes I can't just shut up.
5. When I got off my mission, my mom told me I should start some kind of diet. I thought she was crazy but now I have gained 30-40 lbs since then. I guess I'm getting fat, but at least I'm enjoying it.
6. I have to drive a truck. I feel like I am half naked without a truck. I can't throw stuff in the back, haul stuff, or even go off road. I would rather drive an 1983 rusted out S-10 pickup than a sweet sports car.
7. I can't wait to lose my hair. I have always planned on going bald and actually am looking forward to it. I constantly ask Casi to shave my head but she hates it. We made a deal that I can shave my head once a year and when I start to go bald I can keep it shaved.

TAGGED
Seven interesting facts about me is not an easy thing for me to come up with. I have been thinking and here goes it. . .
1. Jared is my very best friend! I don't think I have ever met someone that cares so much about me and my happiness. There are days that he can tell I just need him and he will stop what he is doing and just help me. The other day I was taking Lily to the doctor (it seems like we have been doing that a lot lately) and he was on his way to work from school. I was really worried about Lily and needed him there with me. Without me even asking he said he would meet me there. He will never know how much that meant to me but everything seemed a little better once he was there. I love our Friday nights, even if we are just at home hanging out, I love being able to spend that time with him.
2. I love Diet Coke! I especially love the first swallow when it actually burns a little on the way down. Call me crazy but I love the stuff.
3. I love to Shop! Target, Interior Elements, Nordstrom, Tai Pan, Gap, Baby Gap, Walmart, DSW, you name it I love it. Even if I don't have the money to spend I love to go and window shop. I love to be in the mall and just watch people. It is so interesting to me to watch all the different types of people that make the world go round.
4. I love MY GIRLS! They have brought more joy into my life than I thought possible while at the same time testing my patience and encouraging me to be a little more crabby than I have ever believed I could be. For the most part we have a lot of fun together and need to remember to enjoy them more. They are growing up so quickly.
5. I love getting together with Friends and Family! It is so fun to get together with old friends from college or friends from the neighborhood or family just to hang out. Food is usually involved, which may explain why I can't lose the weight that I want, it has been and I am pretty sure will be a life long battle for me. But at least we are having a good time!
6. I am and have always been painfully shy with new people, I was quite often mistaken for snobby. Once I get to know someone then I don't have any problems but it takes me longer than most to get to that point. Jared has really helped me in this area, more like pushed me out of this, Jared likes to joke around and often this brings attention to me. When we were first dating this was really hard for me because I was the one who in a crowd of people could sit and not say much but really have a good time. I soon learned that this was something I had to get use to and now it is a lot easier for me to talk to strangers. I am hoping the girls get Jared's ability to talk to anyone and be friends with everyone and not have to deal with the shy card.
7. I love to Exercise! It is such a release for me. I enjoy most anything, I recently learned that I even like to run. My sister-in-law, Tracy, asked me to train for a marathon and run it with her, I didn't get done with my training in time to run it with her but plan to do the Salt Lake Marathon in April.
I tag Erin, Tera, Hanna, Amy, Kim, Tracy and Jamie. Have fun, the rules are post seven interesting things about you, tag 7 more people and let those who you tagged know by commenting on their blog. I hope this is easier for you than it was for me.

Friday Co-op
Lily, Mallory, Macy, Jack, and Raegan. We missed you Kenlie and Afton!
Friday was our turn to watch the kids. We really had a lot of fun and the night seemeed to go by really quick. I guess that is easy for me to say since I just took the pictures, I didn't get down on the floor and play with the kids. We have a really fun bunch of kids and love to have them come, just not quite as much as we love the other 3 Friday nights off.

HALLOWEEN
My Little princess and Cheerleader
For the first time since I have been a parent, Halloween was a nice relaxing day. Usually I try to do too much and see too many people so by the end of the day the girls are too tired to go Trick-or-Treating.
This year we went to our playgroup Halloween party. The girls got to wear their costume, make spiders out of pipe cleaner, eat cupcakes (Mal's favorite part, that girl loves her cake), and play with their friends. 
The girls then had a great nap that made the rest of the day so much fun. When Jared got home from work Mallory was sooo ready to go trick-or-treating and I was sooo ready for her to go. This was the first year Jared hasn't had class on Halloween night since we had kids so it was fun for him to be here and be able to take the girls out. They went with the Duncan's and had a great time. Lily came home a little early because it was too cold for her but I knew she had a great time when she came in saying "TREATS. TREATS, TREATS!" She couldn't get her little hands on the candy fast enough. She carried her pumpkin basket around with her the rest of the night just happy to have as many treats as she possibly could handle. By 9:00 when it was time to go to bed she was on a sugar high. It just occured to me that may be the reason she didn't sleep well that night.
