I know I know.
All my posts start the same! Time is flying.
Which is exciting, intriguing, and frightening all at the same time.
I absolutely loved this past October.
For some reason it will always be my favorite month!
Here are some highlights-
It’s so crazy to think that Lu turned ONE YEAR OLD! Watching this little babe grow up the last year has seriously one of the biggest highlights of my life. We love her with our whole hearts.
She was such a happy little bean at her party UNTIL the cake was brought out and we sang to her. Then she was like, “Why is everyone screaming at me to eat this thing?”
October also tends to be one of the absolute prettiest months in Utah.
One night Will and I drove up the canyon to see all the leaves before going to dinner. When I asked him to turn around & smile for a picture he did that ^^^ but then he quickly did a very graceful…
Arabesque?
Hahahaha.
IDK.
I married SUCH a goon and I’m happy about it.
Another highlight of October was the marriage of my beautiful cousin Amanda!
It was such a wonderful celebratory week with a beautiful wedding dinner, sealing, and reception up at Memory Grove.
Memory Grove was where our grandparent’s wedding reception was so that was pretty special.
Mmm for visiting teaching in October I made one of my favorite treats. The recipe I used is here – Gooey Sweet Coconut Chex Mix.
Another reason October will always be my favorite is because of our anniversary! We wanted to make it a tradition to go to Cactus & Tropicals (our wedding venue) every year on our anniversary to pick out a new arrangement or something special for our home.
Since we were babysitting the kiddies that weekend we decided to take them with us. We left empty-handed without a keepsake but more importantly we left with two happy boys who LOVED the water fountains.
(please note the woody character, hat, boots, and toy story DVD)
I was reunited with my dream ice cream at Harmon’s Grocery store this October too!
I’m so frightened at the fact that the jig I did in the aisle of the grocery store is on film somewhere.
Remember this face everybody. Jensen was born to be a STAR!
Olympus High pulled off Mary Poppins flawlessly. We loved going last week and cheering him on as well as dropping our jaws at how much talent there is at Olympus.
Why can’t I sing for the life of me?!
And of course October was filled with us eating good food.
Will’s schedule is rough these days. He literally is gone daily from 8 am – 9 pm so dinners together just aren’t an option for us anymore. I miss actually eating with him after work but I’m grateful for his hard work and attitude about it all.
Our new things are breakfast dates!
We will go somewhere around 7:30 am and eat together before we’re both off to work and school.
We went to Rose Establishemnt last week and LOVED it. If you are a Utahan you gotta go try their avocado toast.
Here’s to a new month and Christmas season I guess?!
Am I the only shocked at how many Christmas trees are in people’s windows these days?!
