Hard Working Hubbs

On top of a crazy schedule of training appointments at the gym, Jonathan went and got himself licensed at a Loan Officer (passed the test the first time too! Apparently its SUPER difficult) He works in the Alpine Mortgage office that Dave & his business partner run, that just so happens to be across the parking lot from the gym. So, Jonathan heads over to the office in the middle of the day when the gym is slow & works extra hard for us. I love him.

Perks of being an Eldredge

Just one of the many great things about being an Eldredge is having this gem as a sister-in-law! She's the type of person I feel like I would've been great friends with regardless of us becoming related! And I have so much fun with her when we get together for her to make me beautiful! We like to start our dates with a beauty supply run sometimes, & picking up our caramel, chocolate (coffee free) frappes! 

Then we get down to business & fix my hair. I love having a cosmetologist in the family because we always get to try fun things without it costing me a fortune. And Christina just does a fantastic job!

I love catching up with my sweet sister, and am very grateful for her!

Temple Open House

The Boise temple was closed for over a year for re-designing purposes & opened again in Fall 2012. We spent a Saturday afternoon at the open house, it was SO crowded, and really neat to see people who normally wouldn't have the chance to go inside be able to see what the temple is all about! I feel so spoiled to be so close to the temple, and in another year or so have the Meridian Temple open as well. 

Voted

For memory's purpose I wanted to blog about my very first time voting (I didn't vote when I was 18 due to living out of state and not filing for out of state voting abilities) But this year I did my civil duty and voted! It was a sad day to learn that Obama beat out Romney and was re-elected.

Halloween

Thanks to Catherine & her mad wreath making skills, my front porch and door were super cute & festive for Halloween:

Our friends Zach & Kelsey threw a Halloween party & us waiting last minute of course to come up with costumes (And not wanting to spend a fortune) came up with 80's workout folks: (thanks to DI's fabulous attire!) 

It was super fun to celebrate with friends & make fools of ourselves at the bowling alley in our ridiculous costumes! 

Jonathan's Fitness Competition

Back in September (yes I realize what date it is & that I'm so ridiculously behind in blogging. But... gotta start somewhere!) Jonathan competed in a physique competition that he looked DANG good for if I do say so myself ;)

What a stud muffin!

J, placing 4th in the competition! I was such a proud wifey! 

You best believe that afterwards we celebrated at Golden Coral where J went to town on all the goodies he'd been depriving himself of in the months of preparation for the show! It was a really fun event to be apart of & I know Jonathan is looking forward to another show in the future. 

2 Month Old Lyla!

At 2 months old this sweet babe is 11lbs, 22.5 inches long, super smiley when she wakes up and happy as long as I'm around! She loves to snuggle, she survived her first cold already this month. She enjoys her baths, and on a good night she'll give me a 5hr stretch of sleep, have a quick feeding, then go another 3hrs! We love our Lyla Brynn!
