To Be a Teen Again...

Don't be too jealous, folks. But, my hubby and I are off to her concert tonight...


I'm actually really excited. Hubby surprised me with tickets for my birthday and now it's here. I've heard her shows are actually really good and the teacher in me loves that she is actually a good girl. I also like that she writes her own songs. That's a talent that I wish I had. Anyway...we will see how much squealing teens we get to sing with tonight. Don't worry though, Michael wants to get binoculars for me just in case our seats are really far away. (That's what he says.) I think he wants to get a good look of Taylor. It's ok. She's cute. I approve.

Happy Friday!

Grumpy Gills...

I like to pretend that I'm a pretty positive person that doesn't get upset too easily. Sometimes this is more true than other times. However, I became very frustrated yesterday. It's my fall break! I'm in Utah with my family! Why would I be SO frustrated? Well, I will tell you. It's because I had only been in Utah for a few hours when my throat started to burn. My brain became cloudy. My nose started to run. And there was major sinus congestion. I was getting sick! Yep. By the end of the night, my headcold was in full force! Therefore, my wonderful fun filled Fall break has turned into me feeling like death and my mom taking care of me with hot lemonade and other mommy tricks. (Being babied by my mom is nice, but still not what I had planned.)
So, pray for a miracle that I will be able to not be sick anymore so I can play. Until then, I will keep on blowing my nose! Hooray!

Two Beautiful Sights...

1: Me not having to cook...
Plus, he's pretty good looking.

2: SERIOUS meat...
Come to mama!

For the record, we split the steak, so I'm not completely heading to obesity. Also, I don't feel like I have real "cravings." It's just really amazing to me how NOTHING will sound good and some things just hit the right spot. This was one of those moments! Well played, Michael!

Oh What a Beautiful Morning...

It's here! It's really here! October is very welcomed in this house...



Best way to start off this wonderful month:


We are having some technical difficulties today and I threw a mini temper tantrum about getting to watch Conference. Luckily, husband got it semi up and running. It's so satisfying!



In October, we get to spoil this guy...

He's totally worth it!

I get a full week off of school to fly back to this beautiful place...

We get to finally find out what color will soon be dominating our lives. And yes, there is only one color. Michael's dream of having both didn't work out for him this go around.






October is finally the start of average temperatures in the 80s. It's a very welcomed cool down. So visitors can start coming anytime!



I just can't tell you how excited I am!


Even Baby is looking super festive for Halloween as a skeleton this year...

If you know me, you know my baby should have plenty of calcium. In our last ultrasound, the dr. said that the calcium is starting to strengthen certain bones and that's why it's "glowing" in the picture.



What a great month!
