blogging question

I tried uploading pictures but it said I have used all of my storage on my picasa account,but it said I still had storage on my gmail and google drive. Does anyone know how to get pictures from your google drive to your blog?

Thanksgiving 2012

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year by ourselves. It was our second year of doing it so now it's a tradition. We enjoy cooking our own dinner and just having the whole day to relax and enjoy each other's company. This year we couldn't find a turkey breast so we ended up buying a small whole turkey. Matt had an interesting time trying to divide up the meat so it could fix into our crockpot. In the end it turned out great!  Even though the food was delicious I was missing my family and I cannot wait until we go to Texas in about 3 weeks. Hopefully Matt will get into a PhD program that will be closer to family.

Halloween 2012

Normally for Halloween while I have lived in Utah I would go to Breanne's house for a party with my roommates. When she moved Matt and I threw a party,but this year we decided to for go being the party throwers and be party goers instead this year. We went to the Crafts Halloween party and we are glad we did! It was so fun and it was nice to have a chance to dress up. This year we dressed up as Aristocats. It was fun to do a couple costume and to be able to make most of our costume.

At the party

This is us playing the game total blackout. We were blindfolded and we had to guess what 4 secret items were just by touching.
Item #1 - A man's hair


Item #2- Live worms in dirt
Touching the worms



Item #3- Brush (it was taped to the bottom of the container so every time  Matt touched the bristles they would move and make a noise- this item scared me the most!)

Item #4- Mashed potatoes- I knew the texture but its so hard to remember  how you know when you are scared.


 Matt and I won the game! We guessed all 4 items correctly and our time was 1 minute 30 seconds!


Most of the group




Matt was adamant about painting his face- in some pictures it looks like he has a bad sunburn
