Happy Halloween

I enjoyed Halloween night with two of my companions from the mission.  We had great plans to go trick or treating to a few select houses and deliver pumpkin bread.  Unfortunately, no one seemed to be enjoying the holiday at home so our deliveries were not as fun as they could have been. But we very much enjoyed just being silly and spending time together.

Repairs

For the last month I've not had my computer.  I'll use that as my excuse for not updating my blog.  The fine folks at Best Buy neglected to record all the things wrong with my computer and when it was sent off (the first time) so it returned with the same problems.  Nothing major, just things that I've wanted to be fixed since I bought it.  So it was "expedited" to repair all the things that they didn't fix the first time.  The point of the story is that now my I finally have my computer back and that now the internal microphone works and I can make calls from my computer.  Victory!  On to the updates....

Spooktacular!!!

BYU hosted a Halloween event for children of faculty and students.  It was a fantastic free event featuring lots of fun games, bounce house, treats, and costume parade.  Believe it or not, these guys won the award for being the scariest. 

Backyard fun

It was such a nice evening and I decided to make everyone smile for pictures.  That is all.

Head for the Hills

The lovely fall weather demanded outdoor activities.  We made a stop by the local pumpkin patch and then headed for the mountains.  We intended to drive the Alpine loop, but only made it as far as Provo Canyon for a picnic and then to the base of the Y.  It was an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL day!

Wizard of Oz

 

My mission companion, Kim Stephenson was recently Dorothy in a production of "The Wizard of Oz.  I went up to Salt Lake with Emily, Caitlyn, and my friend Ben to see her and it was so fun- she did a fantastic job!
