Well for the most part :) We still have a small load of stuff to move from where we were renting in Holladay, but most of our stuff is in the new place and it is REALLY nice! It is so much better than where we were before.
I will have to post pictures of the new place when things get a little better looking inside :)
Oh yeah... We moved to Riverton. I just remembered that I haven't posted anything on here about it before now.

Elections '08
Some of you may know and some of you may not know that Shaun was running for office this year. He was running for State Representative of District #36 as a libertarian. He didn't do any campaigning (we get engage shortly after getting nominated to be the candidate) and didn't win, but he did end up with 202 votes (1.37% of the total votes). I am really proud of him for at least trying and will support him in his future political involvement.
We did end up going to a couple parties downtown on election night. Dylan (another libertarian that was run) was holding a party at Lumpy's downtown, so we made an appearance there. (Just an FYI they have some REALLY good nachos and their pastrami and Swiss is REALLY good too!!) After our appearance there we headed to "the party party" aka the Democrat's party. That was completely insane. There were so many people there and there was so much screaming (we got there after it had been announced that Obama had become our president... yeah...). It was definitely not something I have ever experienced before. I did get to meet a few more of Shaun's friends which was kind of fun.
That was pretty much our day... oh and yes we did go vote and no we didn't vote for Obama.

Pumpkin Pictures!
We really didn't have the correct tools that we needed to carve the pumkins, so we used steak knives, white plastic spoons and the stopper thing in the sink...
This is Shaun "Pumpkin Pi" 2008 version
"Pumpkin Pi" all lit up
My "First Halloween Pumpkin" 
"First Halloween" all lit up
Curving pumpkins together was a lot of fun! Even if they didn't turn out (well at least mine) that great! It was time we got to spend together and that is what matters!

Halloween Date!
Yesterday Shaun and I went on a date and it was TONS of fun! I really do love spending time with him and haven't been able to do much of it the last couple of weeks because he has been working a lot of extra hours, but he was able to come home early so that we could spend some time together.
At first we didn't know what we wanted to do, so we just started driving and we ended up downtown, where I saw a sign for the Body World 3 exhibit, that we both have wanted to see but hadn't got around to getting tickets for, and so I suggested that we go see if by chance they had any tickets available. I wasn't sure that they were going to have any, because they suggested that you get them in advance, but we were able to get tickets and walk right in to the exhibit.
The exhibit was really cool and it was nice that there wasn't a lot of people there. It is so much different seeing the different body parts close up versus looking at them in a book or even on a cadaver. They have a part of the exhibit that is the growth process of a fetus. I thought this was amazing, just because you could actually see how the baby grows and develops in the womb and what they look like at different weeks. At nine weeks they really do have finger and toe. The growth that occurs between week 9 and 18 was amazing to me too! Okay I will stop talking about it now! It was just really cool to see it! It is so much different than looking in a text book! I would DEFINITELY recommend going to Body World 3 if you can go. It is here in SLC until January.
After we were done at the exhibit we went to dinner at Stone Ground and had really yummy food. I really like the atmosphere of the restraunt.
We were trying to avoid having to pass out candy to kids, but decided it was time to go home. So we stopped at the store to get some candy and ended up buying pumpkins to carve. Shaun carved pumpkin pi and mine was a face and then I want it to say 1st Halloween, but we didn't have the correct carving tools so it was hard to write the words. So needless to say it just ended up saying first. I will have to post pictures of the pumpkins when I am at home.

We are waiting...
To buy a house. We haven't felt really good about going through with things, so we decided this last weekend that we would wait. We want to pay off the little debt that we have and then save some more. So we will see what happens with the housing market in the near future and decide what to do.
For now we are going to try and find a new place to live that has a kitchen :)Hopefully we can move by the end of the month!
