Spicer, Minnesota

This is a picture from our hotel room this morning. It is snow from the previous day. At first mom thought it was toilet paper all over the ground. Obviously she thinks back to my high school days of t.p.ing friends. haha
A pumpkin patch in a parking lot. The pumpkins were all covered with burlap bags so they wouldn't freeze overnight.
The Minnesota country side. On our 2 hour drive to Spicer.
Spicer, Minnesota's Green Lake.

When I was younger my family use to come to Spicer during the Summer. My Step-Grandma, Rosa lives there and we would go visit her and my grandpa because they summered there. Now Rosa lives there year round. Spicer is a really cute little town, it goes around Green Lake. When I was in my hay-day (8 years old?) Rosa, Emily and I all rode our bikes around Green Lake, which is about 15 miles!
We haven't seen Rosa for about 5 years. It's really nice to see her.

Tomorrow mom is driving me back to Minneapolis for my VEV event, and then she is coming back to visit longer with Rosa. Perhaps she will blog soon!

Minnesota

Mom and I arrived in Minnesota yesterday. Our flight was delayed by about an hour because it snowed the day before and was still pretty frosty. We arrived at the airport, picked up our super fancy rental car (we had to upgrade, so it would be safer to drive in case it snowed). Then we headed straight to The Mall of America....which was dissapointing. I've wanted to go to the MOA every since they built it, and filmed some Mighty Ducks 3 scenes there. My hopes were too high. They have a QVC store there. Mom loves QVC...plus it's a super cute pic of her.

We walked around the mall until it closed and we ate dinner there.

Pumpkin Patch Puppy

My favorite aunt works at her friend's pumpkin patch in October, so we dressed LuLu up in her Halloween costume and went over there to surprise her. It was a lot of fun, plus it doesn't hurt that we have possibly the cutest dog ever. It may seem cruel to dress up animals, but LuLu LOVES it! There was a big John Deer tractor that LuLu was very interested in.

Dodgers win NLW!

The fam went to the Dodger game, the day they won the National League West. It was SUCH a great game! I may be biased but Dodger fans really are the best fans. I recently went to Yankee and Mets games, the fans are so mean to their own team. Dodger fans love the team, and even the city loves them. I'm also a big Joe Torre fan.

The Bek and Liss Show...coming soon!

A little teaser for your pleasure.

Our old boss use to say that when Rebek and I were together it was like the Bek and Liss show, so since we will be sharing a room for the next year, we might as well actually make a show out of it. Hope you enjoy!

Ladies and gentleman.....THE KILLERS!

For my birthday Rebekah and I went to the Hollywood Bowl to see The Killers. The Hollywood Bowl is an amazing venue. It is outside so you sit under the stars while you are watching the show. The Killers were great. Unfortunately Bek and I saw Coldplay later summer and they were amazing so sadly everything else pales in comparison. Then we drove back down to Anaheim and I slept on the floor of my new apt. I'm not officially moving in until October so my bed isn't here yet.

Update

I have a job! Well...sort of. I'm working on Mondays at my old job. It's great there! Aaaand I get to work with my 2 favorite co-workers! I think I am going to continue to work there even after I move. The commute will only be about an hour (with no traffic). I figured out that if I work 4 Mondays a month, that it is about half my rent...plus it's a sure thing, so i'm sticking with it!

I am moving to Anaheim ( where Disneyland is) at the beginning of October. I will have 3 roommates. 2 bedroom, 2 bath. The complex is brand new and it looks like a resort center. It's a little unreal. There are 3 pools, tons of flat screen TVs, cabanas near the pools that have iPod hookups and flat screen TVs in them. 2 workout areas that are open 24 hours, covered parking, fire pits and waterfalls. It's ridiculous! We have a big, brand new kitchen, and 2 balconies. It's really close to the freeway and walking distance to the Anaheim Angels baseball stadium.
