November in review

Wow I am really behind. We have been doing so many fun things lately. Here is what we have been up to. (warning: picture overload!)

For some reason, Chase decided to bring a scalpel home from work and definately went overboard on our pumpkin. Don't ask me why he thought we should "shave" our cute little bat.

We had a fun time going to the polls together and voting. It was a neat opportunity

For my Christmas present, Brandon and Katie took Chase and I to the Coldplay Concert! It was the BEST concert I have ever been to. They are amazing and there new album is the BEST. They are one of my favorite bands and so this was SO exciting for me. We were in the 23rd row! I was on the aisle and Chris Martin walked right by me and I touched his arm :) He was really sweaty, so I wiped it on Chase haha Thanks again Brandon and Katie!!! This was the best ever!

We went on a little picnic date. It was perfect weather outside and so we wanted to take advantage of that.

We had such a great Thanksgiving! We ate dinner at the Corley's and had dessert with my family. It worked out really good and it was a great first Thanksgiving together :)

Gregg deep frying the turkey.... YUM

My mother in law decorates so cute. The Thanksgiving table looked beautiful!

Chase and his dad built this fire pit. It turned out so nice.

This is us on Thanksgiving. It was such a nice day! (Notice the picture behind us, Chase's grandma painted that and it turned out amazing) She is currently painting the sacred grove for us and we can't wait until we have it in our home

As you can tell, I LOVE to take pictures of him. He is a good sport! If he weren't such a cutie I wouldn't have this problem!!

What a hottie I married!

Our first Christmas Tree

Ashley and Ryan had a baby boy in October and he is the cutest little guy. They named him Slade Ryan Stahle. I will post some pictures of him later. Congratulations Ashley & Ryan! We love Sladeraide!

Hard Working Man

I really am not that good about updating our blog. I will try harder though. Some of you may know, but Chase got a new job in July. He works for the Donor Network of Arizona (he removes hearts, kidneys, veins, bones, arteries, takes skin, etc.) Yes, I find his job absolutely disgusting. He has some very nasty stories to tell. However, Chase LOVES it. He looks at it as seeing that he is helping save lives. It is great experience for his future plans of medical school. What better way to learn, than looking and operating on the human body. Anyways, Chase works full time and goes to school full time. I don't know how he does it. I admire his hard work so much. Yesterday morning, he was paged to come into work at 6:30 am. They ahd a case in Havasu (4 hours away) and they were going to be taking a lot from the body. (when they are taking a lot, it means they will be operating for about 8 hours) I knew this meant I would not see him all day. So, he left at 6:30 am and did not return home until 1:00 am early the next morning. I miss him so much when this happens. Thankfully, it has only happened 3 times so far. Usually, they have cases here in Phoenix but on occasion, they have to travel. There work covers all of Arizona. Anyways, he got home around 1 this morning and woke up at 6 to get ready for school. I don't know how he does it. I love him SO much and really admire and appreciate all of his hard work!

I have some pictures to update with later. I promise I will post them soon.

An interesting fact: A single healthy body can donate up to 70 different things!

Proof

This is proof that Chase steals all the covers! hahaha

A Wicked weekend in Cali

We had such a fun time in California with Chase's family. It was so nice to spend quality time together! Here are pictures of the trip

I made Chase ride Alice in Wonderland with me :)

We were able to eat at the restaurant in Pirates of the Carribean. The food was so good and it was such a neat atmosphere.

This guy talked and acted just like Jack Sparrow. I think he looks pretty close to Johnny Depp.

On Saturday we were so lucky and went to see WICKED! It was amazing. The Pantages Theatre was so ornate and really neat! Chase was not looking forward to seeing it but we both ended up loving it and can't wait for it to come to Gammage this summer.

Thank you so much Mom and Dad Corley for such a fun weekend! I am so lucky to have married into this family! They really are the best in-laws out there!
