Merry Christmas Clarkers!

Steve and I had our first Christmas away from home. It was incredibly different, but really neat. We loved opening our presents together, filling the stockings, and I had a blast making the bows for all the presents! They turned out way cute.

Our Puppy!!

Steve and I have been talking about getting a puppy for the last couple of months. We finally did it!

Meet Sadie. She is a 11 week old Lhasa Apso. We love her.

We picked Sadie's breed because she won't shed, making it easier on my allergies and my sister has a Lhasa Apso that we just love. They have very strong personalities and love to be with people. Also, Lhasas' don't get very big, but they are not super small. She has been so wonderful.

Here are a few pictures of the day we adopted her!

Happy Halloween!

Steve and I had a great Halloween! We had so much fun in October! Steve is the Young Men's President in our Ward and he gets to go to all the YM activities :) One of the activities we got to attend in October was the Stake Youth Dance. It was a costume dance so we dressed up. We went as Mr & Mrs Fredrickson off of the Disney Movie UP! We looked so old!

We also had our own Halloween Party, our friends came dressed up! So awesome!

The Missionaries crashed our party! Don't tell anyone :)

I was supposed to be a ghost!

A few days before Halloween, we had the missionaries over for dinner and we carved pumpkins too!

Holiest Pumpkin Ever!

This was Steve's pumpkin!

This is my pumpkin!

I had a blast decorating our house for Halloween.

I made this to hang in our kitchen--LOVE IT


This makes me laugh!

The Clark Home Tour

I have been meaning to get the pictures of our lil' place up and I finally had a second to take some pictures and put them up! I took a few close-up's on certain thing mainly for my sister; in other words, don't judge :)

The Front Door- Don't mind the camera strap!

Our kitchen table-- The bookshelf/baker's rack in the back saved me! We have a small kitchen and this helped it out a lot with the lack of space to put things away.

Our little kitchen! So cute :)

I just liked how this looks --hehehe.

I don't know how I managed to make this painting look small in the picture, it's actually really big! Thanks to my Mom for providing my baron wall with some dignity.

This is our TV Area. Thank you Preston for helping make this picture complete.

My Little plants! Love them! They make me happy!

Do you like my little iPod hanging out? Haha. This is our entertainment area/great surface area for fall decorations!

The view from the couch.

Wall shelves-- Do you like the fall vases? I can't decide.

Family wall- we could feel the wall top to bottom with family pictures--one day.

and last, but not least-- Our bedroom :) The next big purchase is a new bedroom set!

Relay For Life!

The Bank that I work at help sponsor the Relay for Life. A Friend and I signed up to raise money and walk on the track to help. We had so much fun, we stayed up (almost) all night and walked from 3 AM to 7 AM NONSTOP with the help of Steve and Justin. We also had a friend of a friend crash out in our tent.
