SO MUCH LATENESS!!!

Seriously, friends and family, I have been so behind on my blogging! I meant to get stuff up right after Thanksgiving, but that obviously didn't happen. So let's see, what's new...

A while back, Brent and I joined some friends and went Frisbee golfing (or disc golfing, as it's called here). We were at a park near the airport, so we saw several planes close up! It was cool. Also, I suck at disc golf. Brent, however, is pretty decent at it.

Proving it's a small world, one of our new friends here in Okie lived in Twin Falls when he was a kid! Not only that, but he went to the same elementary school Brent did, and not only that, but when he was in fourth grade, Brent was in second grade...at the same time! Too crazy... (The second picture is of Brent!)

Brent cut his hair...

Before!

After!

I made a yogurt pie thing, and some chicken chili! I also tried to make my own Velveeta-style cheese sauce. It didn't work out so well.

We voted...and got eggnog milkshakes!

This is why church is awesome...

Saw this gum at the checkout stand, and it made me homesick for the Great Potato State.

 

(Speaking of Idaho, these are two shots my dad took of the Snake River Canyon and the road leading to their house!)

 

Also, on the subject of nature (I guess), here's another shot of the Oklahoma sky. I can't entirely remember what Brent and I were doing on this particular evening, but I'm sure it was important.

 

And as if that photo isn't enough, here's a video!

 

 

Finally, here's a train and church...

 

 

A bit o' everything...

First up, one night when Brent got home from work, I told him we were going to go on a surprise date. I kind of had him convinced it was to a haunted house, but he was pleasantly surprised to find that we wound up at the dollar theater to see the newest Batman movie, which we hadn't seen yet. It was a pretty shady theater, not going to lie, but hey...it cost us $4 so we'll take it.

 

Another desktop change! We love Tom Hanks in this household.

 My friend Ally and I Skyped. I love having coffee dates with my girlfriends over Skype. It's almost like we're just sitting across from each other at Starbucks! We've also recently Skyped with Jed & Kera, as well as Jim, Courtney, TJ (the cellist at our wedding who played the brilliant rendition of the Imperial March... ;) and my parents! We love Skype, so if anyone has Skype and ever wants to Skype with us, our name is "brentbrittanyb," just so you know!

Also, before Skyping with Courtney, Brent said I looked like a Who from Whoville...

Last Sunday night, I rode up on the bus to Rhema's Oklahoma City Campus to help volunteer. I help with some audio/video stuff. It was the OKC campus' first year anniversary, so they had a big dinner thing. It was fun!



Homework and coffee on the bus!

My adorable bus seat mate!

BUS!!!

The OKC campus.

This was just dessert. The actual food was in another room. Seriously...this entire table...only sweets.

Set up!

 

Mmm...pumpkin cheesecake and Italian!

Soundboard!

 

I made some pumpkin brownies with chocolate marshmallow frosting. They were decent, but not the best. Better luck next time, self!

I called my Great Grandpa Charles and my Grandpa Larry last night. I had a great time catching up with them both. They're pretty much the most adorable things ever. Here are the texts I sent my mom afterwards.

And just a bit o' everything else...



Mancala!!!

I made ground beef enchiladas one night! Hooray for left overs!

My passport photo, taken when I was 17. Oh...my...word. Praise the Lord I can get a new one thanks to my name change! Just...wow. Haha!

Oklahoma skies!

Finally, Brent and I had a little outing the other night because for the month of November, we're challenging ourselves to not spend any money other than bills. We're calling it No-Spend November! Anyway, we went to this restaurant that everyone talks about called Cheddar's, which looks really fancy and has excellent food, but is soooo well-priced! It was super tasty. Definitely a new favorite. (Not that we'll be returning anytime soon...) Here's just a little something from our trip there.

 

P.S.

Now, everyone can leave comments on the posts! I know a few people had wanted to, but couldn't because my settings were on the wrong thing. So now if anyone would like to leave a direct comment on the blog post, you can! YAY!!!

Fall & Friends

One Sunday afternoon, after church, we went over to a friend's house for a BBQ with a few other couples, so that was fun! They lived out in the country and we got a bit lost at first, however if we hadn't have gotten lost, we wouldn't have found this awesome turkey crossing sign...

Last weekend, our church's young marrieds group got together at a pumpkin patch and went to Starbucks afterwards. It was also really fun, and we had a great time chatting and getting to know each other! One of our friends (the guy whose house we went to for the BBQ) is also a photographer and took some free portraits!

Leaves are falling! And it's finally getting cold here. Like...COLD. It reminds us of Idaho!

 

YAY!!!

More Christmas lights are going up on campus every day!
