It's been awhile

Sorry, it has been a long time since we have posted anything.  Chris doesn't post anything on here, but he's been really busy with school and so have I.  It just seems like we can never catch up with everything.  I'm at the anatomy lab right now, and they had a test today so of course no one wants to come to the lab study.  There really isn't a single soul, but hey now I can catch up on the blog! 

Two weeks ago was homecoming and all of the clubs are suppose to participate in the parade or tailgate party.  As presidents of the married club we were expected  to do one or the other.  We didn't have time to organize a float so we did a game booth at the tailgate party.  I wish we had a picture of it, because it was awesome.  I made a giant hand out of cardboard and spray painted it a skin tone.  Then I got a towel ring and one of those cheap party favor kaleidoscopes and made a giant diamond ring.   Do you get it?  It's a ring toss!  We had people kneel on one knee like they were proposing and try to toss a ring onto the ring finger.  If got the ring on any of the fingers you got a ring pop.  I thought it was an appropriate game for married club, right?  I'll have to see if anyone took a picture of it so I can post it.  

We are now planning a halloween party for the day after halloween.  It's going to be a costume party.  Our funding for it was approved so we are going to get some nice prizes for the best dressed couples.  We are still trying to think of some other activity ideas, but I'm really excited!  It should be lots of fun.  Hmm...what else is going on?

We got a new old washer!  New to us, but used and free.  It is the smallest washing machine I have ever seen.  It is about 2/3 of the width of a normal washer.  I was kind of scared of how it would work, but after a few replaced hoses it works great!  We can't wash very much at a time, but it's just the two of us anyways.  

I almost forgot. Chris and I received our callings.  We are going to be in the nursery!  They have just started a nursery, and there is only 3 or 4 kids old enough for the nursery.  It shouldn't be too hard.  Plus we are rotating with 2 other couples so we won't be in there every sunday.  Chris was also called to be an elders quorum teacher.  He's kind of nervous for that, but he will do great!  He is a good teacher.  

That is all of the new news that I can think of.  So, until next time...

Fall Leaves and Conference

Chris's parents and little brother Spencer came to our humble home for conference. After the first session on saturday we took a drive up ephraim canyon to look at the fall leaves. At first it was looking like we wouldn't be able to see any with all of the fog, but with faith we kept driving and soon enough we drove write out of the fog and you wouldn't believe how beautiful the leaves were. It was the prettiest I have ever seen fall leaves in my life! It looked like a digitally enhanced photograph. The pictures don't even do it justice.

We had a lot of fun with Chris's family, and we had a lot of great food! We had chicken noodle soup, breakfast casserole, caramel apples, and a pot roast. We had a feast. The food was awesome, the leaves were awesome and most importantly conference was awesome.

I love fall, but it also means that we are that much closer to winter. We were definately reminded how close it is when we went on the drive up Ephraim canyon. We went to skyline drive at the very top of the mountain and it was snowing! Only a matter of time before it starts snowing in the valley. We'll just have to enjoy the fall while it's here.
