School has started. AND I HAVE BEEN LOVING IT!
No really, this has been such a fun semester for me at the University of Utah.
Taylor Swift was a BLAST! She is such a great performer and she is seriously amazing! I am not 13 years old, I swear.
Fall means football and I have been enjoying a lot of that this year.
We also took a quick weekend trip to Lake Powell in September. It was a blast!
There were a few birthdays in September and October:
Jane turned 3! I can not believe it!
Here is me with Jane on the day she was born:
I remember walking into that hospital room in Spokane, Washington and thinking
"SHE is the most perfect newborn I have ever seen"
Josh also had a birthday! The big 3-0!
And then my Dad celebrated his birthday in October
and you can't forget the dogs...Max and Charlie share October 3rd as their Birthday!
Max turned 12, and Charlie turned 3
I could spend all of my days going on long drives.
Long drives are my favorite thing, especially in the Fall when everything is beautiful!
Halloween is in the air.
I love Halloween!
But I am not sad when it is over.
The morning after Halloween is fun because...well...Thanksgiving is in the air, and when Thanksgiving is in the air...it means it is acceptable to talk about Christmas!!!!!!
Want to know a secret?
When I get sad studying, I smell the pine tree febreze in my nightstand drawer, just to remind me that Christmas is coming and everything will be OKAY.
Also, I listened to Christmas music the other night.
11 o'clock at night to be precise.
Yeah, go ahead and judge me.
Other things that have happened

10 more Fridays until CHRISTMAS!
XOXO
