10.31 and Little Family Update

Happy late Halloween! My parents went out of town so we were solo this Halloween. We answered the door for trick or treaters at my parent's home and took Valarie trick or treating for the first time, (to five houses.) She didn't really understand what was going on, but she was getting candy so she was happy.

Valarie was Boo from Monster's Inc for Halloween. My mom and I had to go through several blogs and youtube videos to figure out how to make this, but two full days of working on it later and it was done! It was super difficult since we had no templates or guides, but we figured it out and I think it turned out pretty well!

 I know this is blurry, but it's one of my favorites I took that night.

 

And now for a Randall family update.

Shane is still job hunting, he has been for a while. His current job is fine for now, but it's not what he wants to do for the rest of his life. The biggest problem is he doesn't know what he wants to do, so his job search isn't really narrowed. The good part is we're in no rush, so it's ok if it takes a little while for him to find something. Other than job hunting, he's just been watching Val at night while I work. We're not very exciting people.

Candice - I am still serving at Sizzler, (and loving it,) but I'm also helping manage it. It's not that exciting, I just make sure guests are happy, the store is running smoothly, and I close the store down at the end of the night, but I enjoy it. I really find it fun and since it's so new still it's refreshing having new responsibilities. A couple of the managers have become my best friends at work and I love working with them. That's really the only new thing going on with me, I said this before and I'll say it again, we're not exciting people.

Valarie is growing and learning new things everyday. She's talking like crazy, it's mostly mumbling with the words she knows thrown in the middle. She loves to play "If you can hear me," which is a simple version of Simon Says that we play in nursery all the time. She loves to play with her dolls, and she sings a lot. Her singing is the cutest. She gets so excited when she sees animals and babies, and she's a just a big sweetheart. She's such a happy girl to be around, and brings joy to everyone who meets her.

We're still teaching nursery at church and we enjoy it most of the time. We're going to Park City for our last vacation of the year in a couple weeks and I can't wait! We're just enjoying each other's time, taking every day one a time.
