So I married an ax murderer

Which one of us do you think it is?

Almost Tradition

Usually my family goes Christmas tree hunting the day after Thanksgiving. This year we did it the day after the day after Thanksgiving. I felt a little off. But we found a super cute little tree! After everyone had cut down their family's tree of choice the big kids got to go hookybobbing. It was a wild ride, but how could we expect otherwise with Uncle Brett behind the wheel? He slung us off a cliff and we nearly hit a tree, ran us through sage brush and over rocks, nearly rolled the truck, and to top it off we ran over Mark twice. I had a mouth full of sage brush and eyes full of snow by the end but I was laughing so hard! It was my cousins Mark and Kayla's first ever experience hookybobbing. Mark is from the D.C. area and Kayla's from Texas so they don't see too much snow. They said it was great. Even Mark had fun even though I'm pretty sure he's sporting some nice bruises now.

Surprise!

Today Rory came home from work with flowers for me! He's so sweet! Aaannnnnnnnnnnddddd...... he got his job in Idaho Falls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're so excited!!!!

Moscow, ID

We went to Moscow, ID on Thursday to talk to professors. I think it went rather well. Campus is beautiful! It's all really old buildings with ivy and lots of trees. Rory's standing in front of the old dormatories.

Hooligans in Rexburg

Last night my car (Miron) had all his windows bashed in!!! Except his windshield which was almost bashed in. Hooligans!! In Rexburg! The police came out and said it was the fourth hate crime against Hondas that had been reported that morning. Apparently the hooligans went on a bashing spree. We were glad that they got Miron instead of Sheila (Rory's car), though, because we took a trip up to Moscow, ID today and that would have been nasty if all the windows were gone. It made me really sad. He might be dead if it's too expensive to replace the windows. He wasn't exactly under full insurance coverage. Poor guy. He's a 1990 with over 300,000 miles. It's been a good run. Rory says he's not dead yet. I hope so....

Trial Run

For everyone who doesn't know I am now re-re-unemployed. I have a lot of time on my hands so I've decided to 1. learn how to sew and 2. try my hand at photography. I've created a new blog: emilyoconnorphotography.blogspot.com. Sounds cooler than it is. So far I've basically gone through all my old photos and posted some of my favorites. From here on out they'll be fresh off the press... well, camera really. Feel free to tell me what you think. But only if you are thinking good things.

Halloween!

Rory and I were mad scientists! Rory looks especially mad in his picture. We hung out with Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf on Halloween. I think my favorite costume, though, was Elvis. Mostly because he was wearing squeaky plastic girl pants.

Misfortune Cookies

Mom made misfortune cookies for Halloween. Mine said 'this time they're not laughing with you'. Oh dear....
