Wow. October is almost over. Crazy. I haven't even blogged about September yet. There wasn't too much that happened in September though. I did go to the doctor finally, but I'm still working on the post for that one. The best part of September was going to the One Direction movie. I would have gladly gone by myself, but Greg had my sis-in-law Shaina go with me. We had fun. I loved it, though I wish they would have done more interviews with the boys, but it's okay. I'm excited for the video to come out...WITH extras. Merry Christmas to me! It was fabulous. I can't wait to watch it over and over.
October has been a bit more busy. I feel like there has been something every single day, and there almost has been. I also think I've missed more work this month than in any of the months previous. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that. Good thing I've got 3 years worth of sick accrued. On the 1st, I took a bit of a tumble. I was leaving work, and I stepped off the curb, and honestly, all I remember after that is taking two steps and knowing I was going down. I couldn't do anything to catch myself, so I just fell. Kind of hard. I caught myself with my head at least. It hurt like crazy. I didn't know what to do so I just curled up in a ball praying that A. No one would run me over, and B. someone would come out of the CU to help me. Luckily there was a college kid who drove by and stopped to help. He was super nice, and he helped me stand up and go into the CU. It was totally embarrassing. My boss drove me to get Greg, then I went home and just slept. My head was killing me. I missed the next three days of work. I was just so dizzy and was a bit nervous to drive or even be at work. I needed the rest.
From that time on, I had either tests or church stuff every single night. For Greg's fall break I took a few days off work and we went to Star Valley where we (I guess just me) sat around and did nothing. It was fabulous. Sleep in, take naps, watch TV. Super great. I was sad when it was over.
Just been busy with random stuff since then. I'm looking forward to November and the holidays.

The Rest of August
The 6th, my friend Melanie had a baby shower. After two
adorable boys, she finally is getting her girl. I had a lot of fun
shopping for some super cute baby girl clothes. Had to make sure to
get lots of PINK for her. It was a good night, and I appreciate Mel
talking to me forever after. Since we’re no longer in young women’s
together, I don’t see her as often, and since we can’t work out
at the moment, we don’t get that time either. So thanks Mel. Sorry
for keeping you so late.
Let’s see…Greg is getting closer to school starting. He finally put up some decorations. That’s about all though.
August is my favorite time of year when it comes to Arctic Circle
shakes. It’s huckleberry days. Super delicious.
My brother-in-law Kyan was blessing his baby on the 25th,
so we headed down on the 24th. My in-laws were getting a
hotel, so we got us a room also. We had KFC and went swimming/hot
tubbing. It was so great. I think my future home will have a massive
hot tub. The next day we went to sacrament, then went to Kyan’s and
played with the kids. They are such cute kids, and so much fun.
So, my boss won an iPad for work, and he was gone the day that it got here, so we decided to send him on a treasure hunt to find it. It was pretty funny, and made the day go faster coming up with clues and trying to figure out where to send him. Caleb even took it a bit further and actually burned the paper to make it look more realistic. When Danny got in the next day, the first thing he said was, “My iPad should be coming, so don’t hide it from me or anything.” Little did he know…he was a good sport about it though. Its nice having fun co-workers.

August was a busy month, but apparently super boring. Going
through my pictures on my phone, nothing very exciting happened.

And I think that was about it for August.

An August Wedding
August went by just as fast as July, if not faster!
August 1st was Brady & Ashbee’s reception in Cokeville, so I headed up after work. It was a beautiful reception. The decorations were super cute, and Ashbee looked beautiful. She had this whole vintage theme going on. Very cute. There was a slight mishap with Brady’s ring that I was supposed to help with, but really probably only made it worse. I still feel bad I didn’t double check the size, but what can you do? You don’t need a ring to be married. (Still, really feel bad.) But again, it was good to see the family and friends. I have the cutest niece and nephews, and they are always loads of fun. Brady & Ashbee had a little program where they had family members from both sides sing. Ashbee’s family is super talented, whereas there are only a select few from our family who are. Kennan rocked it on the piano, while Ben and Kenz each sang a song, and then my favorite was the song that Brady wrote and sang for Ashbee. You will have to stalk my instagram page for a snippet of that if you want to hear it. Super sweet!
The kids wanted to go home with me, so I loaded them up in the back seat and took off. It was the funnest trip I’ve had in a while. A short five minutes with their imaginations running wild. They are the best.
There was a crazy lightning storm that night so we stayed up and watched it for a little, then I stayed up and talked to my siblings for a bit longer. It was good to talk to them and catch up.
The next morning we headed to SLC for the wedding. I got to take Grandma and Kennan. Kennan was a bit boring, as he slept most of the way, but it was a lot of fun talking with Grandma and laughing the entire way. I don’t get to talk to her near enough, so I’m glad she got to ride with me. Even Kennan wasn’t too bad once he woke up. It was a bit scary driving in Salt Lake. The normal parking was full, so trying to figure out where to park freaked me out a bit. It’s alright. We made it. It was a beautiful ceremony, and was good to see even more friends and family. Derek & Sheila, Pat & Paul, Uncle Robert, Aunts Kathy and Laurel, and my cousins Heather, Haley, and Cassidy. Plus Nathan and his wife who I’ve never met, and Buck and Aub (my friend who is the aunt). So good to see them.
The luncheon was held at Chuck-a-Rama, which was awesome because I sat at the ‘fun table’ with Heather, Hailey, Cassidy and Aunt Kathy. Oh boy. I don’t see those cousins near enough. Lots and lots of laughing for sure.
It was a great day, and I’m super happy for Brady & Ashbee. Can’t wait for them to make me some nieces and nephews (just not TOO soon). Love you guys!

The rest of July…
I can’t believe how time has just flown by. Seriously. It’s
already half way through September, and I’m so behind on blogging,
it’s not even funny. I’m actually typing this up at work since I
don’t really love my computer (or the chair we have over there for
me to sit in.) so if I don’t do it now, it may never get done.
The 20th of July was a bridal shower for my
sister-in-law-to-be, Ashbee. I was able to go to Cokeville and see
family and a few friends (since Ashbee’s aunt is actually my age.
What?!? Kind of crazy, right?). It was a lot of fun though, and great
to see everyone. I don’t know Ashbee all that well, and of course
what I do remember/know of her, is just as little girl. But I’ve
always liked her, and think she just has the cutest personality. I’m
super excited for her to be a part of the family. Her ‘theme’ was
a time of day shower, and I had 2:00. I decided if I were home at 2,
I’d probably be watching my Soap Operas (love that there is a SOAP
Network), so I got her the first season of Pretty Little Liars (which
I’ve never actually seen, but McKenzie LOVES), and some baking
stuff. I was super proud of myself.
I also got to see cute little
Liam who is just the cutest, even if he wanted me to walk him around.
Greg technically started school on the 22nd, and went
in a few days that week, and then was pretty busy the entire next
week trying to get the schedule figured out. I think at this point he
was wondering what he got himself into, but he stuck with it, and is
enjoying himself. He wouldn’t let me decorate his room, so it’s a
bit bare, but it’s kind of exciting that he has his own office and
everything. He’s legit people! (Oh, and we got some Coldstone a few times)
I took a few days off that week, and we went up to Star Valley on
the 23rd after work. My mother-in-law and Annie were flying out to DC
on the 25th, so we went up to bring them back so Kyan could take them
to the airport.
It was a nice little break, despite the fact that Greg destroyed my leg when we went four-wheeling. I was sitting behind him and we ran over a bit stick and it flipped up and scratched my leg up. Of course the first thing Greg did was rub my leg. Ouch! Not the best of ideas. But I survived the attack
After that short trip to Wyoming, we brought my MIL and Annie to Kyan’s in Salt Lake. We stayed the night and then went to Hogle Zoo the next day. It was pretty fun to take the kids and walk around. There was a lot that was closed off, which was kind of disappointing, however it made for a shorter day, and less walking. I do okay if I’m not walking a ton, so we were there for the perfect amount of time.
I was a bit disappointed though. One Direction was in the SAME TOWN as I was, and I didn’t even get to see them. They had their concert in Salt Lake on the 25th, and Greg didn’t let me go, or even let me try to stalk them in any way. I was totally bummed. I even tried to win tickets, but Greg told me the wrong radio station, even though I knew it was the right one. So disappointing. Maybe next year, right? We should be rich by then.
And then Greg thought it would be funny to text me this...
But he was good to bandage me up and keep by wounds from getting infected.
That was about how my July went. Summer just isn’t summer when
you have to work. It’s all good though. We tried to find things to
do with what little time we had off. It went by way too fast though.
Oh, and PS. If you want to keep caught up on my daily haps, don't forget to check {here}.

Since the last update...
Here's the haps...
Having a new phone has been awesome. It's pretty sad when the MP on your phone camera are just as good/better than your DSLR. Guess that means I need a new DSLR, right? But it's been awesome to take as many pics as I want and have them still good quality, and also be able to upload them to Instagram or Facebook in a matter of seconds. Totally rad. I'm able to document my awesomely boring days a lot better.
June 28 was our Ward Campout. Greg, being the Elder's Quorum president was in charge of cooking the food that night. They told us to plan on like 50 people, and ended up with over 90. Needless to say we ran out of chicken. There were plenty of potatos though, and most people didn't seem to complain. I had fun talking with some of the ladies in my ward that I don't see too often (good to talk to you Melanie! :) Other than the bugs, it was a fun night.
I got a new nephew that weekend too, so on Sunday we skipped church to go see him. We had a lot of fun holding the new baby, and playing with the other cute kiddos. We don't see them near enough!
The 2nd was my birthday....I'm 27, and feel 87. I can't believe I'm that old. It's weird to think about. It was a good day though. I got to work, so that's always fun. Greg got me some flowers, a card, apparently my phone was part of the bday, and a new windshield for my car! He also got me a new ring to wear when my fingers are too swollen for my real ring (which is always). For dinner he made me shrimp, crab and onion rings, with cheesecake for dessert. It was a good day.
Mom & Dad came on the third and took me out to Texas Roadhouse. it was good to see them and get a delicious meal out of it.
I had the 4th off (YAY!) which we enjoyed with a movie, World War Z, which was really good. We went for a walk later that day and then watched Silver Linings Playbook. It was a great relaxing day.
I got a letter in the mail from my Grandma on the 8th. Thanks Grandma! It really made my day, and this blog post is for you to get caught up on me. :)
Things here are good. I feel alright most days. It's manageable, and I'm able to go to work and be okay for the most part there. As long as I don't have to do a lot of consistent walking or have to bend over to pick stuff up, I'm alright. This too shall pass.
Relief Society is going well. Last Sunday was my first Sunday, and despite being the only one in there under the age of 35, and a near-cat fight, it was good. It'll be a good change for me, and I think it's something I need right now. I have a fear of visiting and meeting new people, so this calling with make or break me. We had our first enrichment on Tuesday, and it went well. Had an okay turnout, and got to eat ice cream, so it was really good. I went out tonight and did my first visit (to my neighbor...) Yeah, it's sad that in the 8 years we've lived next to her, this was the first time I actually visited her. It was good though. She was super nice, and it was a good first step for me. Who cares if it took a few tries to get me over there.
Anyway...that's about all that's going on here. I'm tired...and have another long work week ahead of me. Can't wait! When i can figure out how to get my pictures to my computer I'll post some pics.
