Pumpkin Carving 2008

So.........if you remember, last year, was my first time that I carved a pumpkin in my whole life. Well, Josh told me we did not need the "carving" kit, we could use a knife, and if you remember, I had a hard time. So, this year...I bought the "carving" kit WAY in ADVANCE!!!! :) I was prepared for my carving experience.

Hoosier even helped us.When he looked in the pumpkin, this is what he saw. ;)We both got our own pumpkin this year, and Josh told me that I had to do the "yucky" part, and clean the inside out. Funny thing is that, I have this little design painted on one of my nails to go with my Halloween costume on Friday(which is a surprise, pics to follow after Halloween though of course), and when I was pulling out all the gunk, I saw the design(which was black) and screamed, because silly me, thought it was a bug. Wow, only me, huh? :)Anyways, it took me forever to get the gunk out of the pumpkin and Josh had already carved his pumpkin, so I was not able to get any pics of him in the process due to my hands being covered with gunk. However, here is his finished product, it is supposed to be a two-faced man, but Josh kind of got a little impatient(imagine that, hahaha) with the stencil, and it did not turn out exactly right, but you can get the idea.Here is mine, it took me about two hours, and did not turn out that great, but I guess at least you can tell that it is a cat, spider, and pumpkin. :)Hope you enjoy our little crazy married experiences while living in Japan, they are definitely good ones. :)

Navy Ball 2008

We did not have intentions of going to the Navy Ball this year, but since I work for the Navy and was the one to design the centerpieces for the tables at the ball, my boss gave me his tickets the day of the ball, so we decided to go. Josh was excited because he got to wear his brand new custom made suit that he had made for himself, and I have to admit it looked amazing on him. :) Don't you agree?

The Finished Products.....

Josh has found use for his bowl, as seen below. :) However, mine is a vase with nothing in it, and I know what goes in vases, however, does Josh? Hint...hint!
Love you Josh! :)

Winnie the Pooh???

Can you guess who are behind these masks?

Glass Blowing!

On 18 October 2008, we went to a glass blowing studio with our friends Lindsey and Will, and we actually got to design our own piece of glass. We got to choose colors, shape, etc. We even got to help shape and actually BLOW the glass for our own design. It was a great experience. Once the pros were finished doing their parts, this is when we got to try it out. This is Josh creating his bowl. He chose black and blue as his designs for his colors. This is me creating my vase, and of course, I chose purple and pink...who would have guessed. :) The products had to cool so we actually have to pick them up on Wednesday, so I will post a finished product when we get them! :)

My new hair!

Okay, for real this time, I got my hair highlighted and here are some pics to show it. The lighting in our house does not take the best pics, but this kind of gives you and idea of it. It's suttle, but definitely a change, hopefully soon, I will have a good picture to show it off.
