i am hiawatha

Benjamin,

I love this idea I had :). I like it when you post things........

Well, for starters, this candle..... the Gingerbread candle from Yankee Candle..... is perfect. The other day I told Chubbs, "I think we should get a Christmasy candle....Then it would smell like Christmas." Well, yesterday I had an interview at the mall (that story comes later), and afterwards he walked me over to the new Yankee Candle store. After smelling at least 20 different Christmasy scented candles, this was the one we decided on. It was such a good decision.... Our house smells so good, you have no idea. Believe it....

Ok, on to the interview. I think I got a job, Benjy! Where at? Yep, that's right.... Gap-ioli. Yes! After weeks of calling them every other day and bugging them almost to the point of insanity, they finally scheduled an interview with me. Now... I can't quite celebrate all the way yet, because she hasn't said, "yes, you have the job." But.... she said to plan on it being a "yes," and she will call me this afternoon to let me know. If I get it, I have orientation TONIGHT, and will start right away :). Pray for me Benjermin. Now, this means that we won't see eachother as often, but what else does it mean? When we DO see eachother/You finally decide to come visit me, I will have money to do fun things with :). Also it means I don't have to use Chubbs' money to buy him a Christmas present :). Hooray!!! If I get this job.... I am going to cry a little bit, I'm sure of it :). It's exactly the job I want, so I can't even be upset about not getting all of those other jobs! Also, I think I get a 50% discount at Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic. Best :).

Benjamin! You're the best ever! And you inspired me to search some more. Look What I found! Do you think they're as cute as I do?? Ok, now.... I don't think I'd make them into houses..... to much work. But the general look of them is cute, right? If they were just little mushroomees.... Tell me what you think. But thank you so much for like to the other one too. I'm still trying to decide which one I like more.....

Gingerbread decorations for the tree.... You mean like this?? I loooove it. Great plan :). We've got to get some molasses.....

Hmm.... what else? I want to make this cake. It's the smittenkitchen Gingerbread Apple Upside-down cake. It looks kind of gross, mainly because you wonder what the brown things on top are. Raisins? Dates? What???.... Well, after studying it carefully, I've come to the conclusions that either they're just really done apples, or delicious pockets of some caramely, brown sugary goodness. Yep. Now don't you want some too?.....You should tell mom to get some Molasses.... :P

Now Benjamin.... I have something to admit to you that's kind of embarrassing. You know Brittani's blog? Well.... I read the whole thing yesterday. Every single post. Believe it. I like her more than ever. I wish she would just discover that she loves you. Also, she really is great. I don't understand how she is so great, but she sure is......

Last item. This place. http://www.farnsworthcidermill.com/ I found it the other day. Chubbs said that he had never had fresh apple cider and I said he had to try some. It is the best thing in my life. After I tried some, so long ago, my life was changed forever. So.... I went in search of a cider mill in Utah. There's one in Sandy. ^ That place. But what sold it? It sells Christmas Trees!!! The day after Thanksgiving. So, Chubbs said we could go get some cider and pick out a Christmas tree the very next day if we wanted :). I am thinking that we can't do it the VERY next day because... I will have to work. BUT.... it'll happen. And it'll be so fun. Fact.

Benjamin, I love you.
