Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE {4} OF US!

trek week

Finally it's Saturday.
Lucas has been gone on Trek all week and I've been a single mom. It was fun for a minute, but then it became Fall Break and they were home all the time ... plus one or two extra boys depending on the day. I need a break from boys.
I did get to go visit Lucas on Trek on Tuesday, did some hiking and lunch with the therapists and punk ranch boys. They started at the top of Hobblecreek Canyon (Springville) and went up and over the mountains to Strawberry Reservoir. Beautiful.

tuesday

I would like to start out with how much I loved General Conference this weekend. I just love President Monson and his wonderful sense of humor. There were so many great messages from our church leaders ... And Saturday was so great. Lucas got us all excited to do some deep cleaning (I don't know why I'm never motivated to wash blinds ...) and we turned conference up loud and cleaned. I loved it. Then Sunday I got to work the day shift, which is the best shift ever. I get to work by myself and nothing ever happens (except that Sunday mornings are probably the most common time for people to die). This Sunday morning was wonderfully quiet at work and I got to watch practically uninterrupted. Glorious.

And how exciting is this?? 2 temples in PROVO? I can't wait ... the Provo temple just gets SO busy sometimes.

Speaking of church things, I watched this Mormon Messages video on youtube and actually cried at work. And then I made a list of things to do to help people. Anyone want to give blood with me?

Next item of business. This blog is one of my new favorites. Mostly because of things like this. Oh, how I love Ryan Gosling.

I have always loved Pat Green, but lately I've been listening to him a lot. If you haven't heard of him, you should listen to this song. I just love him.



And that's all I have to say.

For Sarah

First of all, I had the best lunch date today. All of my favorites from Provo were there ... and my dear friend Sarah says I don't blog enough. And it's true.

So, Adam came home. It's been a few weeks now, but he was normal from day 1. Here are a few pictures I stole from my sister's blog:

Thanks Steph, for letting me use those.
Speaking of Steph, I'm sure most everyone knows she's expecting ... due in February. She was extra sick and 100% sure it was a girl. Well, she had her ultrasound last week and SURPRISE! IT'S A BOY! I'm so excited. I've been going crazy on the pinterest looking for cute little boy things:

In other excitement, General Conference is this weekend. I just love it. The chance to hear from our church leaders about real issues we're dealing with as members of The Church.
And wasn't the Relief Society Meeting the best?
