Thanksgiving with my side of the fam

(Pretty sure she has a crush on unka Jordan)

(She keeps grabbing his ear.lol.)

So the sunday before Thanksgiving we went to good ole Tooele to spend Thanksgiving with my family. It was alot of fun to see the kids and hang out with them. Jordan and I decided to steal my neice for the night it was alot of fun.

Logan Temple

I am so excited to say that Jordan and I will be sealed in the Logan Temple in February. His parents and siblings were sealed here as well. I was baptised on February 17th of this year so I have to wait a year from my baptism date to go to the temple. I can't wait until that day we can be sealed to eachother for eternity! What an amazing thing.

Directions
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute for 10 minutes, or until onions are tender. Add the chicken, chicken broth, green chile peppers, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and add the beans.(blend two cans of the beans to make it a thicker consistancy) Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until heated thoroughly. Pour into individual bowls and top with the cheese and sour cream.

*It turns out somewhere inbetween a chili and a soup so if you want it thicker I suggest omitting one of the cans of broth but either way its yummy!

Pumpkin carving

Our first pumpkin carving together. I think we did a dang good job don't you think?

I just got these pictures but on September 21st Jordan and I went with his family up Sardine Canyon to take some family photos with the beautiful fall colors. Notice my hair was still blonde..

Will work for food

(<<--Josie pestering Norman)

last week Jordan and I decided to go to the Salt Lake Humane Society to look at their dogs. We found a lab/english springer spaniel mix, about a year old that we really liked but decided to think about it for a few days. We went home and talked about it and decided we would go back on saturday and adopt him. He had been there for over a month so we thought we could wait, well I'm sure you see where this is going...He was still there saturday afternoon before we left but when we got there someone had adopted him, I was so bummed! We left feeling sad but I decided to try Petsmart because they always have adoptions on saturdays. When we got there they had all packed up but this one lady was sitting there with a puppy, I thought she was just waiting for someone but when we walked by she said "are you looking to adopt a dog?" I said,"well as a matter of fact we are." So here we are with a 4 month old lab/border collie mix! Her story is she was found downtown Salt Lake tied to a tree with a sign around her that said,"I am homeless please feed me." SAD!!! She is super cute and smart, still a puppy though and isn't completely potty trained yet but we are working on it.
