Thanksgiving in Sacramento and San Francisco!

Hope you all enjoyed your Turkey Day! I certainly did this year. As is my new tradition I headed to California to spend Thanksgiving with my Aunt Kris and Uncle Bob's family. This year I was joined by the man of my dreams... Richard.
Along with two other important men in my life, my Daddy and my Grandpa. We were able to spend 5 wonderful days in Cali. Richard was a splendid addition this year. He made his amazing Dutch Apple Crumble Pie with some help from my cousin Bree and me.


Bree and Baby Avery!

We also took a trip to San Francisco! It was a first for Richard. 



My Dad, Kris and I took him to Pier 39.

Where we ate at Fisherman's Wharf, laughed at sea lions and spotted the infamous Alcatraz Prison!


And of course you can't take a trip to San Fran without walking on the Golden Gate Bridge! It was dark when we ventured across so some of the pictures didn't really turn out.
Here is one from Pier 39

This is a shot looking up!

and here is Richard's name on the bridge!

To conclude I have to throw in this shot of a street sign. Richard thought it was a cool sign and it took us about 5 tries to get it just right. (We were technically in a moving car which explains why it took so much)...

So that was my Thanksgiving. I think it is my favorite holiday this year! I know I know Christmas has not happened yet and I do expect it to be a wonderful one, but I really loved this years Turkey day! Gobble Gobble friends!

Turkey Cards and Fun!

Richard and I in keeping with new tradition made cards for Thanksgiving. We sent them to his brother Elder Murdock and his family! I figured since they turned out so cute I would share them with you too! Please do enjoy and remember to tell someone why you are grateful for them.

My First 5K!


Squatter's Chasing Tail, Golden Ale 5K. This was my first race. I decided to try running about 2 months ago. My dear friend Jaima became my trainer and whipped me into shape! I was number 90 out of about 300 people. Jaima, her husband, Dad and brother also ran. I finished in 35 minutes, running my fastest mile so far. Richard, Rebecca, my Mom and Stepdad came out to support me. I really enjoyed the race and I look forward to a 10K in the Spring!


Activity Time




Richard currently has a brother (Elder Sean Murdock) who is serving a LDS mission. We thought it would be fun to send him a Halloween package. Along the way we figured it would be even better to send one to his other brother (David) and sister (Kim). So we made cards, gathered sweets and sent a pumpkin (fake of course) that they could carve and enjoy!
