Really?

Ok, so I have to admit, I have not been following the elections a ton this year, but I know enough to be able to say this here is just wrong! I stole this picture from my friends blog. This is my church building that I went to for many years back in Sacramento. We obviously are not going to change our beliefs by someone spray painting/vandalisng church property, but still...it is hard to see!

Random Times at the Foley's

It is time to enjoy a bunch of random photos from the Foleys. The first picture you will notice some branch type looking things, twigs and all sorts. Well, I work for a man from China and his parents live in Florida and own an Herbal store. I mentioned to him that I had hip pains from running and sometimes he can tell when I have to take deep breaths (too long to explain). Well, he told me that his dad read palms and could tell me a lot about my "problems" if I went in there. Well, $50 later and hour later, I came home with a weeks worth of pure hell! I had to boil these herbs in water for over an hour than drink the remains! Let me tell you, the brown liquid almost came right back up a couple of times. BUT, my hip does feel better and I am running again. Scott is freaked that I am gonna want to buy it all the time now. No Thanks!

After I drank the wonderful healing water, I noticed something underneath my tongue (sorry to gross anyone out). I have been referring to it as the growth, or tumor. After having it for two weeks, I finally went to the dentist then the dentist sent me right to the oral surgeon. So, I am on antibiotics and if it has not gone down by Wednesday...surgery time!!! noooooo. If it isn't one thing, it's another thing. Scott called me a hypochondriac a few weeks ago...but I swear I am not!

We were shopping a few weeks ago, looking for some new clothes for Scott. We were at Old Navy and stumbled upon this awesome shirt. When Scott first pulled it up (or me, can't remember) I laughed cause I thought it was hideous, however, this $7 delight is now one of my favorite shirts on Scott. We call it (or maybe just me) the Kelso shirt (from the 70's show).

A few posts ago, I wrote how Scott and I were getting up at 5:20 in the AM to study or work out...well, that didn't last too long! Scott has been exhausted. This picture was taken in the early morn. I just couldn't help myself. I thought it was so funny how his feet were hanging out. I know what everyone is thinking..."Leave the poor man alone..let him sleep!"

Thank you to all who submitted your stories/thoughts about Scott for his birthday! I stayed pretty late (for me) a couple of nights to finish uploading his birthday book! And overlooking the few spelling errors that I missed (everyone by now should know that I am a terrible proofreader), the book looks awesome and Scott really loves it!

The back cover. I HAD to use the picture with his straight hair! It was perfect!

"Deep Thoughts About Scott William Foley" is the title (Doesn't he look cute with his glasses? I think so.)

There is a glare on the pages from my flash, but I just love how this book turned out. Don't worry, for those that are interested, we will bring it home at Christmas so you can read/look at it.

Stetson Halloween Bash. We didn't stay long. It was at a bar and since neither of us drink, we didn't have much to do, besides stare at people...which was pretty fun too!

I know...what was I thinking!

Scott didn't want me to take this picture, but I was trying to get our water in it. We were both getting pretty parched so I went up to the bar and asked the bartender for some water! He was cool about it and even put some lemon in it! Then I started worrying that people might think that we have alcohol in our drinks!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the random post!

Halloween at its finest!

It's true! After much persuading and pleading and begging, I talked Scott into dressing up for our Halloween Trunk-or-treating party (and no, he did not wear the wig. He tried that on out of his own free will and choice. I just made him take a picture). Scott dressed up as a hippie guy person?? We didn't really have a name for it. Don't you all agree that he looks lovely in those nice bell bottom jeans? Well, I'm a little sad to say that they are MY jeans. YES, my husband fits (barely) into my jeans. All of the women (from the 70's era) were pretty much drooling over him (I think they liked how his bum looked). The bishop's wife came up and asked him where on earth he got those jeans...that they were vintage. He smiled, looked at me and we started laughing. We told her they were mine.

Now, I have been She-Ra Princess of Power for, I think, four years now. My sister helped me make the costume (and my elders quorum president from back in the day). I have added/improved a couple of things throughout the years, but there are some things, like my boot covers, that are not going to last much longer! I was originally going to be a hippie too, but my costume looked gross, then I decided 80's but with my high heels and blond wig I kind of looked like a prostitute (sorry for the language), so I decided to bring out the She-Ra.

My friend Tiffany's little boy Dylan. He is a cutie. He knows me by name (probabaly cause I harass him until he remembers it) and recognizes me at church...although, that night he had no idea who I was.

The costume contest for the adults (keep in mind, there were not many who dressed up. In fact, when Scott and I walked in, I almost felt like Belle from Legally Blonde when she was invited to the "costume" party and when she got there no one was dressed up. Not a whole lof of adults were in costume).

I won first prize. My friend Keira won second! Go us!

My friend Tiffany, her son Dylan and brother Jonny. Tiffany has been helping me figure out what kinds of curtains to put in my apartment.

Scott with Dave Coates. He also went to Stetson so it is nice being able to get some advice from him (well, I am assuming that Scott finds it a little helpful)

Carolina Coates. I serve in the primary with her. I didn't realize how much I tower over everyone, especially when I wear my huge heals. I am bending WAY down in this picture.

Scott passing out candy to the kiddies. See the hole forming on the side of my jeans?? Ok, he didn't do it, it was already there!

Oooohhhh....don't mess with She-Ra...she is the Princess of Power.

Check out that Foley Form...that's why I married him!! Hehe...just kiddin! On the way to the activity I asked Scott on a scale of 1 to 10 how much he hated me at that moment and he told me not to ask him that question right then. On the way home he admitted that he had a good time! Phew...I told him that I would make it up to him. He assured me that there was nothing I could do...He still had fun though!

New Cookook

We got an awesome wedding/birthday gift (even if it was for our wedding, I will count it as birthday too cause we both have October birthdays!) from Mark and Stacy Foley (Scott's oldest brother and his wife). Scott had a little extra time that night to spend with me so we chose one of the quicker recipes (Beef Stroganoff) and headed for the store for the ingredients. We had fun cooking the meal (as you can tell from the delight look on Scott's face..no really, it was fun!) and it tasted even better. Thanks again Mark and Stacy. We love the cookbook.

I really did have the cookbook propped up like that...it wasn't just for the picture!! :)

The final meal. I decided to get some whole grain noodles...but for a meal like stroganoff, you need the real deal...egg noodles! When we make it again, that is what we will use. Still scrumscious though!

Temple Trips

Scott and I have been trying to go to the temple once a month since we have been married. Since it takes us almost two hours and we leave early in the morning, our tradition (I don't know if we can call it a tradition yet) is to stop at a fairly decent doughnut shop on the way. For anyone that REALLY knows me, knows that I love doughnuts...they are a huge weakness of mine. SO it should not shock anyone that on our last trip, I tried to pick out three for both of us. Scott reminded me that whenever I do that type of thing I regret it later. So, instead of getting three each, we got two each then one extra to split. I am glad that we did that, I think I would have been sick had I gone with my original plan!

It's hard to stay clean while eating this powdered delight!

I did not get the powdered sugar on my face on purpose...honest. That is what I look like after biting into heavan!

Beach time fun!

When I was little I remember my brother Steve tearing it up on the skin board at the Northern California beaches. Well, Saturday, I went to the beach with a new friend (hey Tiffany!), her younger brother and her two little boys. It was a blast. I know I probably look like a pro from the videos, but, I wasn't that good. In fact, I was pretty embarrassed about how bad I really was. Oh well, it was fun. This very Saturday, it was snowing in Utah. No need to have the sound on during these videos...my voice sounds exactly the same in both.

The Apartment

So, it's kinda cool at our place cause they will paint a wall, any wall in your place for free. It took Scott and I some time to figure out what color we wanted ,and when we finally did, it took them over two weeks to paint the wall. AND, we were very specific on what wall/color we wanted done. How is it that hard to confuse grand canyon (color) with green and the family room wall with the kitchen wall. I dunno either. We came home one day smelling paint, but couldnt figure out where the smell was coming from. I walked into the kitchen and they had painted the most RANDOM wall ever. I was a little ticked, but Scott and I ended up liking it. We still made them paint the wall we wanted though. So this first picture is a "before" decorations picture.

I have sworn off those kinds of shelves that I have on my wall! I don't know how many holes I ended up putting in our wall, just to get the shelf somewhat straight! AND, I couldnt even get it totally on the nail so it is somewhat slanted. Being the "nonperfectionist" that I am with that type of stuff, I let it be and moved on. Thanks Greg and Jessica for the picture of the temple. We love it!

The random wall in the kitchen that was painted

We LOVE our family/living room. It is very spacious and open. We have NO idea how to decorate it though. We have some new friends in the ward that loaned us a picture of Christ painted by Greg Olson. It will look really nice on our very empty wall.

Eventually this area will have curtains on the windows. But for now, blank walls...
