Quick Fall update:picture style

Fall has been lovely! Here I was thinking that mother nature removed it this year...proved me wrong! I love, love Fall and the colors and the smells...and the food...and activities...OK, so it's great. Here's a quick update with photos.

During lunch break at Time Out for Women.

Pumpkin carving with friends!

Doing some corn maze-ing.

Can they make the holes smaller next time? Thanks.

 Real Salt Lake game.

 

 Ali loving.

Welcome home, Ben. We missed you lots.

Learn to laugh...

Now days it's hard to see the good and laugh. It's easy for us to get mad, sad, to cry, to complain. But seriously if you learn to laugh at the small things, your day will be SO much better!
I don't know why I tell you about my clumsy life style but here we go.
Last week I literally ran into the door. It was dark and I couldn't see my hand in front of me, so...cut me some slack. Yesterday, I started chasing Ali, my cat, up the stairs but alas she was too fast for me. For some reason I thought I'd only gone up ONE step so I turned around and stepped down. Guys, I rolled down the stairs! I got embarrassed more than anything and no body even saw. Today, I was feeling good, driving with the window down and singing along with the radio. I made a swift move to pull into a parking space when I looked up to see a sign: "This parking space is for Senior Citizens". Really. A senior citizen lady watched my whole move and took my parking spot after. Whatever right?
Bottom line is, I laughed. I laughed! And you should too.
So, let's get laughing:

Glad you came...

For about a week. 

I'm talking about Fall folks.

Seriously, when did we vote to skip this joyous season?? 

Bummer number one thanks to the cold weather- I've had a cold for a week now. Bummer number two- I left the windows of my car down and it rained all. night. Gallons upon gallons of water got in my car.

Not my brightest move.

I looked at our mountains this morning and thought, well, there go my cute Fall outfits...time to put on as many layers as I can.

On a more happy note, the snow doesn't mean we have to hibernate, hellooooo... We're talking more hot chocolate, lots of snuggling in blankets, watching a plethora of chick flicks, and CHRISTMAS duh. I know you were all thinking it. Shhh.

Today was the first day I wore my new boots. I've been dying to own a pair of cute, leather boots. I looked everywhere people. Finally I found some online that fit ALL of my categories. I'm talking I'm-very-precise-when-i-shop-and-if-don't-love-it-goodbye.

I hope you are enjoying the weather {hot or cold} wherever you're at!

I choose to blog.

I'm sitting in the library of USU and I should be doing homework.

But I can't focus right now. Mainly because there is an awkward couple kissing in front of me. Every. Two. Seconds. Seriously?? As if Valentine's Day wasn't enough...

Whatevs. 

General Conference was so wonderful. Every 6 months I look forward to spiritual enlightenment, cuddling up in a blanket, possibly drink some hot coco {whaaat? it's getting chilly over in my neck of the woods}and some uplifting from our dear Prophet, Thomas S. Monson. 

Fall is most definitely in the air. And mother nature has started to paint the trees with lovely oranges and yellows and reds! Oh, what a lovely time of year. I found a delicious recipe for pumpkin pie here and it just made me even more excited for October festivities. 

Last night I received a call from one of my best friends who is back from the mission!!! After TWO whole years of not hearing his voice, I was in heaven.

I love how grown up and mature he is. I love how much he loves and appreciates the Gospel and family. I love his little Spanish accent when speaking English. I love that he is fluent in Spanish. I love that he asked me 20 times to know how to say a word. I love that I get to hug him NEXT week. But what I love the most is how two years can strengthen a friendship.

He is the first one of my friends to come back and I can't even imagine how much the others have grown.

One by one they will be back.  

It's surreal.

Last week I had this little number:

 I should prob work out or something...

Happy Monday to you!!
