Thanksgiving day at the LOML sister's house in West Des Moines.
The LOML in charge of passing out the candy...two for you, two for me!
My sister-in-law Linda, mom, Sophia and Brycen.
Kaylie (Cord and Courtney's daughter)- How cute is she?!
The neighborhood pumpkin that chased everyone and freaked the heck outta my cousin Jodi! Hee, Hee.
Brycen (Ninja Turtle), Shane (Ninja), Cody (Ninja), and Sophia (Snow White)
Yep, that's me...I borrowed Brycen's Ninja mask!
I need to get moving on reading her books because she's got another book that is being released November 7th. Lucky for me I get the opportunity to meet Beth at her book release party for Nearlyweds this coming weekend!
Here I am at 5am hitting the treadmill before getting ready for work.
Watching VH1 while workin' my butt off on the treadmill.
All cleaned up after my workout and feeling energized for the day.
Driving on the 101 to work- beautiful Camelback Mountains!
Breakfast of champions- Oatmeal/bananas and one slice of bacon - Yum!
At work and on the phone with an internal partner.
Picture of a cactus along my mid-morning walk.
The long road ahead of my mid-morning walk-Mountain View road which takes me to my favorite spot for a nice refreshing drink...
My resting spot before continuing on my trek back to work.
My bonus picture... This was taken outside the office of a co-worker. Her wall is all decked out for Halloween. (as a matter of fact she celebrates EVERY holiday and I mean EVERY holiday!)
The LOML and I took my nephew Brycen and my godson Cody to the Diamondbacks game on Friday night. Here they are with their cotton candy faces...Yum!
The boys at the end of the game. I had a great time hanging out with all my boys that night! 
I love this Gap Ad featuring Audrey Hepburn, but then again I adore her and her movies. I think it is ingenius of Gap to use Audrey's dancing sequence from Funny Face to advertise for the "Skinny Pant" (something I will never be wearing in this lifetime) and that is shows how much fashion comes back full circle. Let's hope we don't see the neon shirts and socks anytime soon!
I stumbled across a site that will tell you the meaning behind your first name (click on the title to find your name's meaning). This is what it said about Christina: It is the feminine form of Christian. This was the name of a Swedish queen of the 17th century who was interested in the arts and philosophy. She gave up her crown to become a Roman Catholic.
Getting my apples and scrapbook magazine together for work.
The LOML and I carpooling to work.
This is the view of the morning monsoon sky in Arizona. So pretty!
My desk at work. Checking my numerous emails...
Our carpool spot...we were leaving work for the day. This spot seems to be one that people want to park in whenever they feel- *sigh*
The LOML getting his blood drawn...big guy almost passed out!
Ring browsing after work... : )
Dinner at Red Robin...
It is hard to see but I received my "I Voted Today" sticker!
Watching the Big Brother finale. ChillTown reunited after Boogie winning the big prize!
My bonus pic...I took this photo at Red Robin of a replica of the Statue of Liberty. It reminded me of the freedom we have in the United States of America and thought it was appropriate for this months 12 of 12 since we just had the anniversary of 9/11 and it was a primary election day. God Bless America!
