Almost time for Thanksgiving!

Hey everyone,
This week flew by so fast--Don't even ask me what happened during the week because I cannot remember. At all. Here are the pictures of some of things we bought at IKEA last week--the net which holds all of Lizzie's animals (so far);
the hamper which we have affectionately named Tony, as he is a turtle;
and the other net which has three tiers--one for her hats, one for her burp cloths, and one for her little mittens and gloves.
Friday night we went to Divine Comedy with the Stapley's--HILARIOUS. We were dying! Many of the skits were downright awesome. The theme was Nickelcade Royale (parody of Casino Royale and James Bond); that skit wasn't as good, but all the skits they performed right before that one were amazing. The Stapley's scored us some Early Passes--we were able to get in before they let everyone else in, so we got really great seats. The Lee's met us at the Wilk when DC ended; after some discussion, we then decided we were going to drive to Springville to visit our former boss (remember, we were all RA's). While we were driving, I remarked to Chris that it felt like we were freshmen again. You know that feeling--it's Friday night, you're looking for something to do because you're not ready to go home...hahah! We eventually found the house, but no one was home. We'll have to try it again soon. ;) We returned to the Lee's apartment to chill (again, we weren't ready for bed) and we got home a little before midnight--we stopped by 7-11 because I wanted hot chocolate haha.
Saturday morning was to be busy for Chris...but we slept in. It's Saturday morning, you know?! We did make it up to campus because I had signed up to help with a Spanish project. This project was HUGE. I don't know how many of you or your spouses have served Spanish-speaking missions...let me explain--the Church is in the process of translating the KJV Bible into Spanish. THIS IS HISTORIC! Remember that Spain, back in the day, was very, very Catholic; the KJV was comissioned by King James, in England--Anglican England. So, Spanish-speaking members of the Church have never had a King James Version of the Bible. But that's all changing! So, on Saturday, the professors and people working on the translation invited all 300-400 level Spanish classes to participate in proofreading and such. SO awesome! I will be able to tell my kids that I helped proofread the KJV of the Bible in Spanish when I was a senior at BYU. How amazing is that?!
BYU played Air Force in Ft. Collins, CO yesterday. Naturally it was broadcast on CS TV, which none of us have. Steve S. was kind enough to offer his work (Pinnacle) as a place where we could watch. He had the game set up in a conference room there! It was verrrrrry nice. And, to add to the greatness, we won 38-24. Next week, we are in SLC to play Utah--that will be the game to see...We all went to Costco afterwards and finally got some food haha. Bri was kind enough to let us use their card. We're getting one soon, not sure when, but we will haha.
I go to the doctor on Tuesday, and I will go to her every week from now on. CRAZY. Crazy. This is me at 36 weeks. Sorry, the picture is a little dark.That's pretty much all I have to say about it. haha!
On Tuesday I have a group presentation for my Bible as Literature class. My rough draft of my ten-page paper on Mark Twain is due on Wednesday. I have to finish reading Emma by Thursday. I meet with my professor to discuss my Mark Twain paper on Friday. Wish me luck!
Have a great week and I will talk to you soon. :D
