And then its gone

I say wake me up when September ends and here we are at the end. October tomorrow ! It feels like I slept through it!  I don't even really know what has been going on. Probably why there has been a lack of posts, sorry Sarah :/

Well, church is normal. We're starting choir back up and they're getting a new choir director, so I'm pretty stoked about that. Especially since I've already got ideas for Christmas [you might think that's crazy, but I've had choirs start Christmas in August :p] I'm pretty excited to have music back in my life. I've been listening to it more, good stuff, not the radio. It soothes my soul. We have General Conference this weekend ! Ah ! Twice a year in April and October, for Sat & Sun the Church broadcasts 2 sessions (meetings, 2 hrs each) where the Prophets and Apostles and other leaders speak to us about what they've been inspired to share. It rocks and I look forward to it way in advance. Twice a year we get to hear what the Lord wants us to hear from his Leaders :] I can't wait. We have the Women's RS Broadcast last weekend and I loved it. I love hearing the inspired talks and the Spirit there. Oh and the music :] Amazing. If anyones available and wants to come :] Let me know I'll be there !

As far as work goes. I still have no idea whats going on. I had what I thought was a meeting today but turned out to be a job interview. And I wore jeans. COOL. It's for the College of Science. Sounds pretty neat, not sure I'm that impressive right now when my nasally voice and cough. Attractive. But it's something right? We're not completely in the dark. There is something going on now. Eric leaves in 2 weeks. Then what? DE doesn't seem as promising as it once was. Not really any help for Chris with tuition. There is another college he can get decent tuition w/o the out of state charges. Not sure how good it is. We've, well I have, started looking elsewhere. Everywhere we look will have school trouble with being out of state. Except BYU. We're going to apply him for the Fall 2012 semester and see if he gets in. Then figure out if he can get in, and what aid he'll have, and then find me a job. In Salt Lake :/ Far away. Now where to live. If I can even get a job, should we even go. Ugh. Choices !! I've applied to a few places around here... who knows.

Other than that, you know work and my future, and what Chris and I want to do with our lives, things have been wonderful. Really. I'm on this crafty kick and want to decorate our teeny house with everything Halloween, and then Thanksgiving and then... CHRISTMAS ! I'm excited. I need another full time job to fuel my addiction and need of supplies, except I need to quit this job so I can have time to craft. Side note: does anyone want to buy me a cricut ? I'd greatly, immensely appreciate it. Thanks :]  Chris thinks I do too much to the house as it is, but I've got to keep myself busy. I'm slowly weening myself off of TV. I mean, I want to keep up with my life long shows, but pointless movies and just watching a series because, I'm trying to quit. Yay for premieres week ! Greys, The Office, Castle... oh TV. How I hate to love you so. But I've got a ton of books on my Kindle, and a billion crafts lined up. I went on a walk with Daisy. I went to Zumba the other day. Pretty sure I want to sign up for the whole month and go 4x a week and get not fat. Woo ! Talk about motivating [ is it working? ]

We get to go to Arizona for Thanksgiving ! Woo ! I'm pretty freakin' excited for that. We're driving Chris' dads old car out there for his brother and staying with them for a few days so I get to see Brenda and the kids, and Anthony :] And get to have a sweet roadtrip with my hubby. We have fun in cars :] He says I'm not the best passenger because I always fall asleep. But this should be fun. I've never been to AZ before. And it will be warm. And not here. And Maddie will be there too !! Yay ! It's exciting.

We got to go to the Washington DC Temple <3 My first Temple I ever went to. It was nice to go back again. We got to go to Tracy & Shane's sealing. It's always nice to be there for such an amazing thing and it always reminds me of mine, and the feelings, and the promises. I love that we can continue to go back to the Temple to be reminded of our covenants and all the things we learn. I love being in the Temple with my husband. And its such a great experience to be there with my family, Angel and Mimi and such. I love being there with them. It feels like Heaven <3

AND I got Cafe Rio <33333 There's one like 20 mins from the Temple. Sweet ! My brain was so confused because it was thinking Cafe Rio=Utah, but we're not in Utah. Sad. Haha. It was fun. Love it ! Horchata... <3 Love.

Read Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter. Pretty sweet. Kinda graphic, but I loved the story. I wish it was real ! Now I'm on to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I love P&P and its by the same author as Lincoln's book and he's fun. So this should be interesting.

It's crazy how much goes on in my brain. I go from work, to Disney, to trips, to money, to crafts, to food, to everything. Ah ! Glad you get tiny glimpses :]

Wake me up when September ends !

Holy cow, I can't believe it's already September ! Goodness. This year really has gone by so fast, and they keep going faster the older I get. I can't say I like it ! Especially since summers gone and my summers don't even feel like summers anymore.  Yay for being a grown up without summer vacations !

Well atleast September is my birthday, and my little brothers birthday, who's 16 now and thats so weird. And it will finally cool off so its not so hot. Although I'll probably write about it being cold soon enough. Back to school, beginning of fall and colors changing. Oh the joys of September :]

Chris got a new calling this Sunday [Sarah: a calling is like a job in our church, we are picked by our congregation leader, the Bishop through inspiration. He prays and tries to figure out what the Lord wants for the position]. He's not too thrilled about it, but I'm excited because he can do so well and do so much good. He got called as the new Ward Mission Leader. [Sarah: this is a member who works with our Missionaries, and people investigating the church, who visit and want to know more and such.] I think it could be so good because he does need a calling in general, to stay busy and all that. And we definitely need to whip our missionaries into shape :]  Whether Chris puts his foot down, or I do through Chris hehe. I don't know how well that would go over, but it's a funny thought. I'll let Chris do his calling because I'm more than overwelmed enough with mine.  However, I'll still throw my 2 cents in because I'll die if I don't. So between me and Chris getting new callings, and then Maddie getting her calling, yay for being Relief Society President of your BYU ward ! Woo ! We're all just getting callings right in a row. It's fun :]

The rain is killing me and the forecast isn't promising much either. I feel like I'm in Seattle and I'm so glad I don't live there. I couldn't deal with the weather all the time ! Life is depressing enough without the constant rain ! Even on Labor Day, we tried to find something to do, but there is so little to do inside. Everything's outside and not good in rainy weather. So it ended up being a stay in day. Yay for my last long weekend until the Holidays being a bust ! If it wasn't for Chris getting his calling we coulda done something after Sat. but then it didn't happen. Oh well. Maybe in January, when I get my next long weekend that isn't a holiday. Haha

Other than that, work is work. Still trying to figure out Delaware, and gathering details. Waiting on some information to decide. I even talked to a family that's new to our ward about the area because they just came from there. It's random. His parents are in the Branch Pres and his mom in the Relief Society Presidency. So now I know who to talk to about details of the area, and wards and such. It's fun that we can potentially flip flop. They came here, and we go there. But who knows. I like to plan and dream of white walls and a dishwasher, but ultimately it's where ever we're supposed to be. It will be fun to see if Chris and I can agree to where that is. I wish we could just know where the Lord wants us. [Side note: I know I can and I'm not saying we aren't going to fast and pray about it, just saying]

But all shall be revealed. We'll keep trudging along, and see what comes of life !
