That and finding some framers that will give us a fair price. The Utah building market is booming, which means that bids are sky high because there's so much work out there for builders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After we hired our crew of framers, we ran into a lot of engineering problems. Our architect (California based) drew up our plans based off what he could "see" while drawing up our existing home, but for those of you who have gone through a remodel know, there are many surprises to be found when you start opening up walls and ceilings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't want to bore you with the details, but long story short, opening up the ceiling has been the biggest problem, and right now there's a hole in our roof to allow a crane to place the beam that will support our entire roof. Yikes. Here are some pictures of the progress. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some before pictures to remind you of what the space used to look like. I can't believe how much bigger it feels with all of the walls and ceiling knocked down!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've had some very interesting workers in the house for the last week. We have discovered that the demo guys we hired were pretty much all talk, so now we've hired one workers who is a beast and can do the work of four of our former demo guys. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each day I went to the house to check on the progress, and one particular worker seemed to reveal a lot of personal things to me each time we talked, which I found a little uncomfortable. Here are some quotes from him during some of our conversations:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I took a two hour nap today because I was up late last night talking with a girl. I know I probably shouldn't be telling my boss this but..."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Your baby is as pretty as they come. You're lucky because she could have come out looking all retarded."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After cursing..."Sorry I'm not all Mormon and stuff."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yikes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We still have about 25 hours worth of demo work that still needs to be completed, as you can see by all of the remnants on the floors. We are currently getting bids from the construction company that we've hired, so the real work won't begin for another two weeks (approximately). </span></div>
The Crandallionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14162731876807744809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990915714660030293.post-14511639552385529082014-07-14T15:43:00.004-07:002014-07-14T15:43:39.922-07:00Trees<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our home was built in the late 60's, and as you've seen it really hasn't been updated or had too many improvements made to it since, including the landscape. As with most neglected homes, the landscaping gets out of control and starts to overrun the home. Our home is set up on a hill going up toward the mountainside so we are lucky to have views of both Salt Lake Valley and the mountains. Unfortunately, our trees are so overgrown that we can't see either view all that well. So now we have to go through and cut back and remove many trees. I really hate the idea of killing so many large trees that are so mature and full, but they block our views and really hide the house making it look sad and heavy. And to be honest, we are putting a good amount of money into this house, inside and out, and we really don't want it to be hidden. We've gone around and marked all of the trees we are removing, and we'll be having them removed by the end of the month. Here are some pictures of all of the trees around the house, can't wait to see how much lighter the house is once they're all gone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">***I know this is a boring post and these trees aren't too exciting to look at, but this post is more for documentation than anything else. Feel free to wait for the "after" photos, unless you really want to look at a bunch of overgrown trees :)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is our sweet baby Jane Margaret. She was born on April 23rd at 12:14 AM. She weighed 8 lb 11 oz and was 21.5 inches long. She is two months old and is now finally starting to grow out of her colic (it has been rough). Motherhood so far is just like moms always say, the hardest but greatest thing you'll ever do. I have definitely grown in many ways in these few short months (especially in my patience!). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since we are going through this renovation, we are living in a temporary apartment right now. All of my plans for her nursery have been put on hold until we can finish our home. In January we were told how long our home would take to complete and I was really disappointed to hear that I wouldn't be able to set up a nursery for her before she was born. After I got all of my pregnant emotions out, I realized how silly I was being for placing so much emphasis on not having a prepared nursery, especially since she'd be sleeping in a bassinet in our room for a few months anyway. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So since I don't have a nursery yet for her, the one we do make is going to be great. Here are some photos that are my inspiration for Jane's future room. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My current plan is to go with three main colors, which are: coral pink, mint green, and yellow. So this picture really inspires the overall color scheme for the room. I really want her room to feel happy and bright, because that's what babies are, happy and bright little angels.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have loads of ideas, prints, accessories, etc. that have been filed away since I found out I was pregnant. So I am hoping to that I can gather my ideas and make a beautiful nursery for Jane. I can't wait to get started, but this room is definitely a long way away from being completed (since we haven't even demoed yet) but it's fun to think about :)</span></div>

So nothing exciting happening yet, but we are slowly meeting neighbors each time we go to the house. We can't believe how friendly people in our neighborhood are. So exciting!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can tell from the images, we really like a light and bright kitchen. We are planning to go with a quartz countertop in white with honey colored maple cabinets and hopefully matte brass fixtures. The kitchen is probably the most put together room for us so far because we've been saving pictures away for our "dream kitchen" for ages. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We just submitted our plans to the city on Friday for approval! We should be hearing back on whether or not we need any revisions by the end of the week. If all goes well, we can then start working on our house! We're so excited to begin! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would have loved to show you the original floor plans for the house, but we don't have a copy of those available right now. So h</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ere are the new floor plans for the interior of our home. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The image isn't the best quality, but you can see the overall layout of the upstairs. Honestly, there's nothing in the home that is remaining intact, except for the general location of the kitchen, nursery and master bedroom. Some of the biggest changes that we'll be making to the top floor is the location of the front door and the stairs, as well as the second bedroom becoming our master closet and bathroom. We are most looking forward to having an additional window in the master that looks out over the Salt Lake valley and the awesome windows on the back side of the house that overlook our creek and our mountain views.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just like the top floor, the bottom floor is getting completely restructured. We are no longer having the large fourth bedroom downstairs, but are now using it to be the new location of the stairs, and our exercise room. The biggest challenge we faced with the downstairs is the location of our HVAC system. It's not directly in the middle of the home, but it might as well be. So now we've had to work around it. We've laid out a decent size family room (given the HVAC), two bedrooms with their own ensuite bathrooms and walk in closets. We have a designated gym area, laundry room, and guest bath. We are looking forward to the outdoor living and dining room we'll have just off of the family room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our architect asked us to give him pictures of the general look we'd like for our home, and these are the pictures we sent him. We found out we can raise our ceiling in our kitchen and living room and we are to look like these awesome homes with the exposed trusses and beams. We want the overall feeling of the home to be light and bright, so these pictures capture that feeling for our general home design.</span><br />

After our architect went through our house and drew up the original plans for the house he asked us what we wanted our home to look like both exterior and interior. We really wanted to embrace the style of the home, with it's shed roof and large windows, so here are the pictures that we sent him.<br />

And here is what he came up with. We are beyond excited! It's difficult to tell from the images (since they are in black and white), but we are still keeping most of the exterior of the house in wood (as seen by the lines that run across the home), and the rest of the home will have a smooth stucco finish, with a somewhat "concrete" look. We are so happy with the renderings, and hope that it looks even better when it's all finished.<br />

The top drawing is of the backside of the house, with it's upper deck and lower outdoor living area. The bottom drawing is of the front of the home, you can see that the entrance of the home as been moved to the left of the front windows, as opposed to it originally being on the right of the windows.<br />

We have had three major things happen to our little Crandallion family in the last month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
1. We welcomed our sweet baby Jane on April 23rd, and now are a family of three</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. We moved to Utah when Jane was only 8 days old (to continue working for the family business)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. We purchased a home, which is a total fixer upper, and is thus the purpose for our blog revival</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Our home is located along the bench in Cottonwood Heights, and we are completely thrilled to start this new project. We started our project back in December when we purchased the home, and have been working with an architect since. We currently haven't begun any physical work to the home, but we hope to begin the demo phase next month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Here are some photos of our home in its current condition. You definitely need to keep an open mind while looking at the pictures, and know that <u>nothing</u> inside or out of the house is going to stay.</span><br />

<b style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dinner the night before a long run:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Usually I eat rice (typically brown), lots of veggies, and fish or chicken. Sometimes this is eaten as separate portions to a meal, or all together like in sushi or even sometimes Chipotle. This is a sure pre-dinner meal that will give me good protein and carbs, and will keep my tummy happy through out the run the next day. And LOTS of water throughout the day. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Pre-long run breakfast:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A slice of sprouted wheat bread with natural peanut butter, and/or a banana</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Post workout meal:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Immediately after a long run I want something with fruit, I think fruit tastes the best after a hard workout. After I've had my fruit fix, which usually is an orange or a smoothie from jamba, I then have a big bowl of <a href="http://www.livestrong.com/article/533469-health-benefits-of-oatmeal/">oatmeal</a> with berries, chia seeds, agave, and sometimes granola for a real treat. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>My list of favorites:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. and 3. I think these <a href="http://www.clifbar.com/food/products_shot_gel/">shots</a> are some of the best tasting energy gels I've tried thus far. I've tried several flavors of Gu, which are just fine, but the flavors that <a href="http://www.clifbar.com/food/products_shot_gel/">Clif</a> makes taste good. My favorite flavors are the "Razz" and "Chocolate." I know what you're thinking about the chocolate, it has to taste terrible, which is what I used to think, but my friend convinced me to try it and it tastes like pudding! Craziness!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. <a href="http://shop.honeystinger.com/categories/Organic-Stinger-Waffles/">Stinger Waffle</a>: This is one of my favorite carb-rich foods for a long run, After about an hour to an hour and a half in, I eat one of these, and they're sooooo good. A yummy waffle cookie, and it's made with everything you need to keep up your energy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. <a href="http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pwp,c-1+100701/hf-10001+12002+4294965495/t-Women%27s_Sleeveless%2FTanks">Nike Running Tanks</a>: I love how light and airy these tanks are, without being clingy. It's still really hot in California, and when my runs are spanning from 6-10:00AM I need something light and cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. <a href="http://www.neutrogena.com/product/ultimate+sport-+sunblock+lotion+spf+70-.do">Neutrogena</a> sunscreen: One of the best sunscreens I've used while sweating my guts out. Even though the sweat is pouring off me, the sunscreen doesn't run or get into my eyes, it works really well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. <a href="http://www.rei.com/product/520007/vitalyte-drink-mix-80-serving">Vitalyte</a> electrolyte drink: I've had problems in the past with other electrolyte drinks that use sorbitol instead of sugar, and they've killed my stomach. This drink tastes really good, isn't took expensive and it keeps me hydrated and my tummy happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. <a href="http://nathansports.com/our-products/hydrationnutrition">Nathan</a> water belt: Eh, this is just an ok water belt. I don't love it, but it gets the job done. If I were to get a new belt, I would go with something that is insulated and keeps my drinks cool through out my run. My frozen water bottles with this belt melt in an hour, not great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. <a href="https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=349&ra=true">Garmin Forerunner 305</a>: This is the satellite GPS I use to track my runs. It has a ton of features including a heart monitor, GPS tracking of the run, and many more, but I unfortunately don't use most of them. On my screen I keep track of: my pace, my overall time, my distance, and the clock. All I need to keep track of the important stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-we-made-too-much/Run-Dart-And-Dash-Short-MD?cc=7549&skuId=3457034&catId=women-we-made-too-much&filterType2=function&filterValue2=run">Lululemon</a> dart and dash shorts: My new favorite shorts! I wear these on my long runs, and they are soooo wonderful. They stay in place, which is the best feature, unlike many other compression/spandex shorts that end up riding up. These have 5 pockets to store anything from a phone, keys, Gu's money. I love these. I so recommend them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

It takes a good long while to work up to a long mileage, and my feet are so tried after I've worn them on a long run, but they have helped with my IT-band problems, so much. I had terrible IT-band issues, and since changing my foot strike and switching into these shoes, I haven't had any problems. I also just purchased their road version of these shoes and can't wait to test them out. It's sad how excited I get over new running shoes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are my top ten long run favorites and tips. I don't know if any of you out there are training for a race, or are interested in training for a race, but all of these things have helped me so much. I hope at least one will help you.</span><br />

So it's weird to try and start it all back up again. But a lot has gone on since that last time I blogged, way way back at the beginning of the year. Two biggest things:<br />
<br />
1. I started a 400 hour Pilates teacher training certification in May, and will complete it by mid-October. That's right, I'm going to be a Pilates teacher! And hopefully take all of my knowledge from my PT aide job from the past 3 years, and now all of the knowledge I'm receiving from my certification and teach Pilates to every man, woman, and child. I'm looking to teach in a PT clinic that incorporates Pilates into their rehab, if not, hopefully in a private studio with advanced students.<br />
<br />
2. I've been training for a marathon steadily since April, and since June have been doing some hardcore weekly training. This is a lot of work and dedication. I've loved the training, seeing how my body can adapt to running consistently over 3 hours, and soon I'll be running between 3 1/2-4 hours. I love our bodies! I've enjoyed exploring our area, in the hills and trails to the neighborhoods and beach. Every Saturday morning this summer has been with my running buddies and running outside around Orange County. I've learned a lot about the importance of proper gear (shoes, clothes, sunscreen) and nutrition. I've changed my perspective on food after reading books and articles from professional runners on fueling our bodies with the best food to reach peak performance. Food is fuel. <br />
<br />
So here's a little snap shot of my busy life. No pictures to post of summer vacations, since my life of training has taken over, but I've loved this summer and the many wonderful things Ryan and I have been doing. And next weekend is my bday and we're going to spend it doing my favorite things in LA. Concert, yummy food, flea market, and museums.<br />
<br />
I'll be posting again soon on all of the running tips I've picked up since my training. Happy labor day weekend! <br />
<br />
(And <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0RvPYRRRbE">this</a> is who I'll be seeing next weekend, sooooooo excited)The Crandallionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14162731876807744809noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990915714660030293.post-41663360419409287012012-02-29T15:31:00.000-08:002012-02-29T15:31:10.390-08:00The TopsThese are my five favorite things right now. I have to share them because I'm hoping to make them your favorite things too :)<br />
<br />
1. "Downton Abbey." My favorite thing by far, this Masterpiece Theater mini series is so amazing. I feel like I'm watching a movie with every episode. They just put the first season on Netflix and Hulu Plus, and the second is online (with no commercials, amazing).<br />
2. My local Orange library, and the Southern California digital library. I've found so many great books and so many books that I can send straight to my kindle. Awesome.<br />
3. My new <a href="http://baggubag.com/#Shop">Baggu</a> reusable tote. It's so big, but wraps up so small, and the print just makes me happy. <br />
4. Ryan surprising me with a home cooked meal when I get home from work. He knocks my socks off.<br />
5. Getting the employee discount for Nike. My boss hooked me up and now I got some more sweet running gear. I just wish I could afford this super cute <a href="http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-434709/pgid-434705">jacket</a>. I am loving coral* like crazy right now.<br />
<br />
Have any favorites you'd like to share with me?<br />
<br />
*Wasn't Michelle William's <a href="http://news.instyle.com/2012/02/26/oscars-2012-michelle-williams-dress-louis-vuitton/">dress </a>adorable? And that color!<br />

Just read this book and absolutely loved it. Running has always been my favorite form of exercise, and this book has deepened that love. Not only will it tell you about a man's journey to discovering the world's best runners, but it will also tell you how to run efficiently and injury free. Hallelujah! <br />
<br />
One of the best books I've ever read. The development of the author's story into the science and research of running, and the stories of the world's best runners will amaze you. Happy running/reading!<br />

We decided to be lumber jacks this year. I was inspired when I saw my beautiful flannel dress in a thrift shop. We pulled this look together for only $20. Complete with matching felt beards. We didn't hit any parties except for our ward's and my parents trunk or treat. And sadly we didn't get one trick or treater last night. But we had fun eating in-n-out, eating Halloween candy and watching "the dark night."

I added a few new things, namely <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/embroidered-flatweave-rug-t005/?pkey=crugs-flooring">this cute inexpensive rug</a> from West Elm. We were also in Little Italy in San Diego recently eating some delicious food and shopping in some cute home furnishing stores. We stopped into <a href="http://www.mixturehome.com/">Mixture</a>, and found some cute pieces. I love them. And with the new rug, our room feels lighter and bigger. <br />

My friend <a href="http://crandallions.blogspot.com/2011/10/shes-amazing.html">Kelly</a> invited me to start taking some workout classes with her at this new studio called <a href="http://purebarre.com/">Pure Barre</a> (it's a franchise, so look it up to see if there's one in your area). Let me tell you, it's a painful but rewarding workout. They use only a few pieces of equipment, a small ball, hand weights, a rubber tube and a ballet bar. I've only been to two classes, and they focus a lot on your core and your "seat" (they use this work instead of bum). You make these tiny little movements, and isometric holds, and you wouldn't think they would kill you, but your body is on fire during the class. I find myself having to close my eyes to get through the pain.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to keep going and see the improvements in my body and also in my running. Kelly said this is what helped her get rid of her IT Band Syndrome, so I'm excited to see if it will help mine.

I was/am pretty disappointed with what $10 got me. Granted it is only $10, but I was under the impression these were going to be "generously sized" samples (as claimed on their website). So needless to say I cancelled it. It is a nice service they provide, I just think that if I were to continue to purchase a monthly $10 box with small samples, at the very least I'd like to be able to pick out which samples I'd like to try. I hope I didn't get any of my readers involved in something they wish they hadn't, so if you did I'm very sorry (I guess I should have listened to my gut in not posting about the box before I had received it myself, bad Cait). I thought it was going to be better products and bigger sizes. I haven't tried any of the products, but if they're worth mentioning and giving a good review, I will.

I mentioned here that I was able to read <em>Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Reselience and Redemption</em>. And that was one of the most powerful stories I've ever read. I normally don't read too many biographies, but it's gotten such great reviews so I decided I had to read it. I gasped, cried and was shocked through a lot of it, and couldn't help but share the stories with my husband and family. It's eye opening to see the danger that our American soldiers were put in, and the horrific conditions they were placed in under the Japanese as POWs. If you enjoy history, or even an just want to read about the amazing survival story of a great man, you must read this!<br />

I then read <em>Falling Leaves</em> by Adeline Yen Mah. This was a memoir about a young Chinese girl (Adeline) that was born and raised in China. It wasn't a particularly happy story, but Adeline had (and still has) a strong character and was determined to prove herself, unfortunately it was directed toward a family that didn't love her, but she achieved so much without the love and support of her family. This story took place in the early 40's in China, so I enjoyed learning more about the modern history of China. Good story.<br />

The most recent book I read was <em>Sarah's Key</em>. I've been on a World War II kick lately. I also really enjoyed this book. I learned more about the French Jews and the how the French participated in exterminating the Jewish population in France. I had no idea that this even occurred, and from the story (fiction) it seems that not many French citizens knew about it either. This was an easy read, and I didn't love the side story going on, but I liked the historical background. I would recommend this for anyone wanting a good quick read, but a good story.<br />

Now I'm between two books,<em> Moloka'i </em>by Alan Brennert. <em> Moloka'i</em> is about the leper colony in Hawai'i during the early 20th century. The other book is <em>My Name is Mary Sutter</em> by Robin Oliveira, this is about a midwife during the American Civil War. I'll give a review on both of these when I'm done. Happy reading!

It's taking good shape, but I want a lot more wire wrapped around it, to give it a "nest" look. I've purchased most of the items needed to finish it up, so hopefully I'll be showing you the finished product soon. I've already gone through 300 ft of wire. Isn't that crazy? I've cut the cuts and scrapes to prove it. <br />

See that beauty in the center? I blogged about her <a href="http://crandallions.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-running-group-is-better-than-your.html">here</a> and she just completed the St. George, UT marathon last week. I just wanted to say how proud I am of her! She completed the race at 3:39! Can you believe that? She took 5th in her division AND the best part is she qualified for the Boston Marathon! Seriously! Boston Marathon. I'm so proud of her. I still can't get over the fact that she's only been running for 3 years now! She's a power house athlete and a wonderful wife, daughter and mother. SO So Proud! Great job Kelly!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Now if only these legs can get past the 5 mile marker again. They've got a long way to go, but they're trying!</span><br />

And, to be honest, I only like Halloween decorations for Halloween parties, and then I can get crazy on the decorations. But I put up some fall decor a few weeks ago to get us into the new season. And finally the weather decided to cooperate as well. We have lots of rain this week! I love wearing scarves and warm sweaters, and boots. (Side note: I thought it was getting cold enough to wear a jacket and scarf this weekend, so I threw them both on Saturday night. Ryan and I went out for a bite to eat and I walk in to the restaurant seeing girls in tank tops. They probably thought I was cuckoo. I always feel silly when that happens. No, I'm not actually cold, I'm just trying to imagine it's fall in Orange County, ok?) Here are some things around the house. Happy Fall!<br />

And I follow the host, <a href="http://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/">Emily's, blog</a> as well. She shows pictures from the rooms she's made over before they air on TV, so I like to get a sneak peek. Recently, she posted some pictures from her latest makeover, and her design assistants DIY chandy. AND...on <a href="http://hommemaker.com/">his blog</a> he posted <a href="http://hommemaker.com/2011/09/21/d-i-why-orb-lando/">how to</a> make it. I'm <b>determined</b> to make this chandelier and put it in our dining room. It doesn't require too many materials or too much skill, so with Ryan's help I think I can do it! Hopefully I can get a jump on it this weekend. <br />

We actually didn't know about it until the day of when Ryan drove by and said: "There's something going on at the Orange mall. Look it up." We had no idea how big it was going to be, or how BIG the lines were going to be. We showed up to 25 food trucks, and each one had at least a 20-30 minute wait. So after wasting 30 minutes at a truck that didn't have what we wanted when we got up to ordered (we were also trying to make a movie in 30 minutes, ha), we moved over to a smaller line but with good lookin' sea food. And we were happy with our choice, and unfortunately we had to sit in the front row of the movie, but it turned out ok. Here are a few shots. I would have taken a few happier shots with us having a good time, but we were frantic to get food and once we got it we were shoveling it in :)<br />

And...my new bike. Ryan bought me a "new" bike this weekend. It's a vintage 1950's Firestone beach cruiser. We spent Saturday buying new tires, and getting off lots of rust and dirt. She's a bit rusty, but I'm excited to get it all fixed up.</div>

I just recently found out, and unfortunately it's only sold in the UK. But with soooo many H&M's coming to the states, I'm hoping they'll bring their home collection soon as well. Here are some of the cute things that are out this Fall. <br />

I can't express how much I LOVE pumpkin breads, muffins, pastries, pies, and desserts...And, normally I would throw in the chocolate chips to make it really amazing, but I'm trying to be good without be "that" good. I hope you're enjoying the cool weather (if you're in California) and all of the seasonal foods showing up. Happy Saturday!<br />
