October

You have to love fall. The leaves change color, the air is crisp and the weather cools down. Ok and then it goes back up again and then down and then up....but it is still so refreshing to me. Of course fall is the best time of year. Mike and I will be celebrating our 7th anniversary this month. Crazy that it has been that long, isnt it? It doesn't seem like that long.

This month Mike and I will be watching football- GO BRONCOS, going on walks, going to the corn maze (already went once but only did one maze as took us almost 2 hours), and best of all, watching conference. How blessed we are to live in a country where we can watch conference live on local television or if not on local on the BYU channel. We are able to hear the words the day they are spoken. We do not have to wait to hopefully be able to obtain a copy of the Ensign.

Mike and I still do not have callings in our new ward. We are not complaining about it. It is probably a good thing since we are planning on traveling a lot in the next 3 months. We will be taking several trips to Lewiston before the snow keeps us from going up there. We will also probably head over to Eastern Idaho once and maybe somewhere for Thanksgiving. However, when the Lord decides he needs us we will be ready. Even if it is tomorrow.

We are still seeking out ideas for a vacation next year. We are hoping to go in October if that helps anyone know of a good fall trip. This is the month we take most our vacations so we feel strange staying at home this year. We are kind of aching for that get away but we are not going to get it. But we will get through it. This way we can save money and have more for next year. Mike has to put in for his time off by the end of this month so hopefully we can at least decide on a time frame by then. I am sure we will. Ideas are appreciated more than you could know.

God Bless and may the Spirit be with you all as we hear the words of the Prophet this weekend.

Sounds like you guys have a fun October planned. Congrats on 7 years. That is so awesome!! The older we get the faster time goes by it seems. As for vacation ideas, I've heard that it is beautiful back east in the fall. Hopefully we can get together soon!
