Pumpkins.Carved.
I love carving pumpkins. Last year I didn't and Halloween just didn't feel the same. So today after church I went with Ben over to his sister Allyson and her husband Blake's house to eat dinner, carve pumpkins, and just have a gay ol' time! Haha. We had Nightmare before Christmas playing in the background which set the mood perfectly, but I still couldn't think of a good idea for my pumpkin...I'm a little disappointed with my lack of creativity. Ben's pumpkin on the other hand was AMAZING! I was so impressed. We had two of my favorite drinks, hot apple cider and egg nog...can't beat that during the holidays! So far fall has been great. Let's hope I can make it through the snowy winter! A trip home for Christmas will be just what I need when it starts getting really cold. Anyways here's a few picture from our night!

It's been a while...update
Thought I'd post a little update on my life since it's been forever since I've blogged! Maybe it's because I don't have the internet at work anymore and school also started again. So I just never find time to blog! Anywho...
I still work at Pinnacle Security but lately i've been going a little stir crazy sitting in a cubicle talking on the phone. I contemplated trying to find a new job but nothing in Provo pays as well as the job I'm at right now and that is the only thing keeping me there. So it looks like I'm just gonna suffer through the boredom so I can pay the bills :)
School is going pretty well. I hate generals but I'm also taking art classes so it helps. I love my painting class and I think that's my favorite art medium. I'm planning on working with my good friend Rachael Clegg who wants to be a professional photographer. Photographers usually have someone who does all their photo editing for them because it takes too much time for them to do it themselves. That's where I come in! I've always loved photo editing and I'm good at paying attention to details. I'm gonna take some photoshop classes at school and maybe have photography be my minor. So me an Rachael are really excited to work together someday. The best part about it is that even if we end up living in different states, I will still be able to get the job done thanks to technology :)
Rachael wants to work her way up to doing wedding photography someday which brings in the big bucks....which means bigger bucks for me too! I'm excited to actually have something that I know I would love doing and it would be great because even when I have kids I can still be at home! So for now that's my plan. We'll see what happens!
I have a new calling in church and it's been a while since I've been in a more Leadership position so it's been a great learning experience so far and I know I will gain a lot from it. I just desperately need a relief society activity leader called and some comittee members so I can plan activities and not have to do almost all the work myself! We had an activity tonight and I can't believe how much work goes into feeding a large group of people! So that's my next order of business...getting some girls called to those positions. I really really like the ward I'm in right now. It's been my favorite one in Provo so far. When you have a really great Bishopric and ward it makes a huge difference and I love mine!
Last weekend I drove to California with Rachael and first we stopped in St. George for my old roomates Danica's wedding reception and then made the rest f the trip to California. Then I woke up early the next morning and drove to the LA Temple for my cousin Lance's wedding. and reception. Then me and Tyler drove the two hours back together so we could get to his appointment for his Patriarchal blessing in time. It was a lot of driving for one weekend, but it was so worth it. I loved getting to see my extended family especially my Aunt Jill and her kids who I haven't seen in 5 years! I also got to be there for some exciting things in my brother Tyler's life and I'm so glad I was home for it. He made the decision to serve a mission while I was there and I couldn't be any happier for him. He's such an example to me of someone with a lot of faith and courage. I'm so proud of him. I just wish I could have been there when they asked him to bear his testimony at Stake Conference the next Sunday! GO TYLER! I would have shriveled up in my chair and dissapeared most likely if I was him. Haha.
Halloween is coming up and it's one of my favorite hollidays. So I'm sure I'll have some pictures from that. My digital camera broke so I haven't been taking pictures at all! I hate it.
Well Hope everyone is sufficiently updated on my life. If you read this long post you are truly amazing. I'm not sure if I even want to read it over. Haha! PEACE!
