thanksgiving

ten things i am thankful for, in no particular order

1. salty and/or buttery food, like popcorn.
2. my mom's continual habit of buying me some grocery items.
3. my job, coworkers, and clients.
4. jeff, my cute husband.
5. a warm place to live and a cozy bed to sleep in.
6. peanut m&m's, as i enter a newfound sugar-spree.
7. grandma and grandpa mangum, because they are great for putting up with us.
8. my gym pass, hot showers, and deodorant - they work as a team.
9. contacts and glasses that allow me to see what i'm doing.
10. burt's bees chapstick. minty and hydrating. good for your breath.

we're married!

we did it! we're officially mr. and mrs. allan now. we were married last thursday, the 6th of november in the mount timpanogos temple, where my grandpa was able to seal us. it came fast and it's crazy that we've already been married about a week now, but we're enjoying it and it's fun starting this new chapter of life with each other! thank you to everyone who was able to be a part of our big day - the sealing, luncheon, and the reception. we love all of you so much!
