The kids and I went to Petaluma for the long weekend. I told them that there was no way I was getting out of my pajamas, then my mom thought of the great idea to go to Chinatown for lunch....I got out of my pajamas!</div>

We walked around downtown, which I haven't really done since high school! Lots of memories came back and I realized why I was into certain things when I was growing up! Petaluma is such a mix of a hick/hippy town! <br />

She is about 4 months old now and such a little sweetie! She didn't cry at all and will just hang out and chill and then when you start talking to her, she will just smile this huge open mouth smile! <br />

Oh my goodness. I don't think that I have ever been this busy in any job that I have ever had! But I enjoy my job, so it is all worth it! I've had to get everything all worked through for both K-6 13-14 enrollment as well as choice placement. Plus, I had to redo the registration forms to make life easier for parents and our schools. They also decided to change my schedule around a bit, so I will work one day a week at each of the high schools and they had me move my office at one high school to a different location. I'm pretty happy about that because I really felt like the other office wasn't really mine and I was living in the shadow of the person before me. Now I get to set things up how I want them! I still have my office the same at the District office though, so I'm just running around all over the place, but it is also fun getting to know people in person at the elementary schools, since I mostly work with them electronically. <br />

Carrie and her family have been in the states for a bit doing their annual visit. They were in California for a week, so I drove up to have Sunday dinner with the Hunsakers, Kearls and Wasdens. It was FANTASTIC getting all caught up and being able to see one of my life long best friends. Pretty sure another visit to China needs to be in the works, especially since little girl Hunsaker is due soon!<br />

Bob decided to take Lisa, Kyra and I to the PGA Pro-AM. Kyra and I got to Monterey on Friday night. We all went out to a fabulous dinner and then headed to our hotels. We got up early the next day and headed to Pebble Beach. It was a beautiful day and Kyra and I ended up following Josh Duhamel around basically all day...two feet away from him anytime we could get there. I probably wasn't supposed to, but I got his autograph. We weren't supposed to take pictures at all while we were there, or else that is something I would have documented...me with Josh, but that's ok. We also saw Andy Garcia, the coach for the Niners, the Giant's Pitcher, Ray Romano...and other famous people that I don't know who they are! We actually watched as Andy Garcia ran off the course and knocked on the door of someone's house so that he could go use the bathroom! Josh was really funny though and talked a lot to the crowd. I'm sure he thought Kyra and I were stalkers, but we calmed down after Kyra finally got up enough nerve to ask for his autograph as well. We were all exhausted by the end of the day, but well worth it! Thanks Bob!<br />

We were totally excited to finally go see Wicked! We decided to make a full San Francisco day out of it. We went and played around Pier 39 before heading to the theater. There was a groupon to do some sort of 7D experience where we were fighting zombies in 3D, with guns, sounds, lightening, moving chairs, etc. It was pretty fun! They were keeping score and I actually got 6th place out of 19...I guess if there is a zombie war, stick with me and you might get out alive! </div>

We went and had lunch at the Crab House, which was SO good. We also randomly got some mini donuts and ended up fighting over the whole bucket, they were soooo good! The kids still bring them up! Then basically shopped around and then headed to the theater. The musical was awesome and we all had a lot of fun! <br />

I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I was sure that I was able to get a picture of getting to meet my new little niece, Scarlett...Jessica had a little girl on January 4th and she is just a doll! <br />

I don't watch a lot of tv, but I watch Once Upon A Time religiously. The other show I try to keep up on is Switched at Birth. It is a show about two girls who were, obviously, switched at birth. The twist is that one of them is deaf and so there is a lot of teaching about deaf culture on the show, which I think is great. The other night I was watching Switched at Birth via the internet and there was a scene where the deaf kids at the deaf school were in their kind of deaf cultures class and the teacher proposed the question that if there was a pill that they could take and wake up the next morning being able to hear, would they actually take it. Each student in the class went on to say that being deaf has made them stronger and special in different ways and said that even if this magical pill came to be, they would not take the pill and continue to be deaf. Now, I completely agree that these types of things in our lives can and will make us stronger, but if someone told me that there was a pill that I could take to get rid of diabetes (even though it has strengthened me and made me special) I would freaking take that pill! Am I crazy to be willing to give up diabetes to have a working pancreas again? Am I crazy to think it is odd that a fictional group of deaf teenagers would refuse the ability to hear? Would anyone else out there take or not take a pill to cure them?Allison Murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13556060675060000873noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369482398980296719.post-18210208064335350512013-02-19T07:58:00.000-07:002013-02-19T07:58:16.070-07:00....and she's Married!The thing that usually follows a bachelorette party is a wedding! Sherstin was a beautiful bride and she and Jay are an adorable couple! The wedding was down in Manti with a beautiful sealing, pictures and a lunch afterwards. The reception was beautiful with the perfect theme for both of them: Travel! Then they were off on their honeymoon to Mexico! I have to say (and publish it for the general public) that I called this after their first date. The first pictures of Jay that Sherstin showed me, I told her that he was exactly the type of guy I saw her with :) Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland!<br />

Sherstin wanted it as traditional as possible....which you have to get a little creative when it is a Mormon wedding, but we had a lot of fun! (well, I did anyway...) We all had on our little black dresses and heals, had dinner at La Jolla Grove. We played a drinking game (with martinellis, of course) where Sherstin had to pick our gifts out of a basket and guess who gave it to her. If she was wrong, she had to take a shot, if she was right, we had to. Needless to say, she had to take more shots than we did! After dinner we went bowling...I think the people who worked there got a kick out of watching us in our dresses, feather boas and each of us had a bottle of martinellis in hand :) It was quite the fun night with all of the bridesmaids! <img border="0" height="240" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/36521_10100751038694409_520719746_n.jpg" width="320" /> <img height="320" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/734938_10100751037491819_982041609_n.jpg" width="240" /> <img height="320" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/734056_10100751037536729_781012059_n.jpg" width="240" /> <img height="240" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/533820_10100751038998799_629254713_n.jpg" width="320" /> <img height="240" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/385197_10100751039472849_1786311640_n.jpg" width="320" /> <img height="240" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/75027_10100751041289209_1552906305_n.jpg" width="320" />Allison Murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13556060675060000873noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369482398980296719.post-16797385084666641402013-02-11T21:47:00.000-07:002013-02-11T21:47:12.921-07:00Morgan!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, a couple weeks ago Susannah and Kevin got a call that there was another little girl that was looking for a fabulous family...and after prayers and fasting, they felt that this little girl was to come into their family! They are now in the process of adopting Morgan Gail Thorpe. Everything will probably be finalized by the end of the summer. It should be a much easier process than Peyton, so that will be nice! Morgan is now almost four months old. Kyra, Austin and I will be heading up to Petaluma this weekend to meet her...can't wait! Just like last time, no pictures until after the adoption is final! Yay for a brand new niece! </div>

I heard on the radio that the live version of How To Train Your Dragon was coming to San Jose HP Pavilion. I thought that it would be something Austin would like to see, so Lisa jumped on board and we got some tickets. <br />

The weekend before Christmas was very rainy, so I didn't head up to Petaluma until Christmas Eve. We had a pretty low key night with Thorpes. We did get to play a new version of the Money Game, but I wasn't playing so well...boo. The next morning, the Thorpes' came back and we opened presents with them and hung out there rest of the day. Missionaries and the Buchans over for dinner. Santa brought me the full series of Friends! I'm one step closer to becoming Kristen! </div>

Jasmine from Aladdin would be my pick. She's already a princess, doesn't have to wear huge dresses and mostly...she has a pet tiger! DUH. Oh, and she gets a man who wears MC Hammer Pants. Hott.<br />

Our ward passed out a sign up sheet for Sub for Santa a couple weeks ago. I signed up and did my shopping. Lisa saw me bringing home some random stuff and wanted to know what it was for. She got all jealous and wanted to help out too and basically bought out Costco with stuff for a needy family on the list. Then the kids wanted to get in on it too and bought toys with their own money to donate to the cause. They are for sure making some children very happy this Christmas!Allison Murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13556060675060000873noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369482398980296719.post-64843001013900290532012-12-20T08:00:00.000-07:002012-12-20T08:00:06.950-07:00Home Owners<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

SO...I forced Sherstin to come out and visit me for a weekend. It was very short, but well worth it. She flew in Friday night and flew out Sunday evening. We actually didn't really do anything and didn't even really take pictures at all! Mostly because we literally just hung out, talked and relaxed! It was lovely! We spent half of our time in Morgan Hill and the other half in Petaluma so that Shestin could see where I am now and where I grew up. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I grew up with a Christmas Tree farm up the road from me. So, when I was home for Thanksgiving and Jennifer said we should take a walk up there, I was all for it! It was really pretty and they even had some animals out. You can't really tell, but that is like the goliath of all goats...we were pretty scared. The pig was huge too...I've never seen one that big in person, but I'm sure there are much larger! Oh, and Asia was there for a day and then came back with me because Nikki is going to be there for most of December, so we thought it best that she hang out in Morgan Hill a bit longer. </div>

BYU played at San Jose State in November, so I got tickets and made Kyra come with me to her first college football game! Poor kid had no idea what was going on and thought that we would get beat up since we were cheering for the other team. We did not play well and lost, but it was fun to feel all team spirited again!<br />

We were finally able to get Kyra her recommend to go inside the temple to do baptisms for the dead! We went to the temple the next Saturday with her cousin and grandma. We did some family names. I even did them as well...it was weird doing that again since I haven't done it in a while. We were at the Oakland temple, which is where I grew up doing temple trips. The baptistry has changed so much...apparently they had just remodeled it. We went on a really busy day because they had youth conferences there, but it was a great experience. Kyra got to go again the next week with her young women group...I was told that she looked like a pro!<br />

I had the best Halloween costume this year! I dressed up as Lisa! It was pretty entertaining because I don't think she thought I would actually do it, but I showed up at the Smiths that night. Fully decked out. Clothes, makeup, perfume, bra, everything. It was even weirding Austin out that he kept on thinking I was his mom. Oh and it was really comfortable too!</div>

So, I was able to help out with a local measure to get passed called Measure G. It was a bond to get money for the schools and we won! It was a lot of hard work, but it paid off! I mostly helped out putting together the phone bank. I volunteered poor Lisa for just about anything that came up...she was a good sport! At any rate, we are all much happier with that being over with!Allison Murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13556060675060000873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369482398980296719.post-87437911231762296022012-11-26T08:00:00.000-07:002012-11-26T08:00:07.335-07:00Lost and Found<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, I have this necklace that I've had since I was in Junior High. My best friend, Johanna, gave it to me after one of her family trips. I still wear it all the time and it means a lot to me. A little while ago I realized that the charm was missing and I only had the chain on. I've had this necklace for more than half of my life, so I was really disappointed, but glad that I at least still had the chain. I said a small prayer asking that I would find the charm, but didn't feel impressed to do anything or even look in the first place. Who knows where on earth I could have lost it in how many different areas... I didn't even know how long I had been missing it for. Well, a week or two goes by and I was vacuuming the game room. It was my second time around when I realized I was pushing something around on the floor that just wouldn't be sucked up, no matter what I was doing. So I reached down and picked it up...it was my charm! I couldn't believe it! I mean, look at how small it is! Then when I was cleaning the bathroom, I looked down and saw the little circular thing that attaches it to the chain! Are you kidding me?! There is no denying that God answers prayers...even ones so trivial as finding a necklace charm.

So, my dad has this pellet gun that he uses to scare away the squirrels from his walnut tree. In September we had a little fun shooting at some cans in the back yard...check out these sharp shooters!</div>
