Hello October!

Brady and I have definately felt that we have had a wonderful first half of the month! What a fun couple of weeks we have been blessed with. Not only is Salt Lake turning into a beautiful AUTUMN city but we have been able to enjoy it with FAMILY. The first weekend of the month we were lucky enough to have Jaysan and Amanda stay with us and go to CONFERENCE. We were excited to hear conference and to be able to see our prophet and spend it with one of our favorite couples.
On October 8th we celebrated our 4 month ANNIVERSARY. It is crazy to think that our first summer married has come to an end and we are entering the holiday season! Our anniversary fell on the perfect day....Columbus Day! haha Don't ask me why us bankers get this day off, but we were not complaining, it was great! To start off our day we headed downtown bright and early. Brady still had school so while he was in class I spent time in the library on Pinterest, an ok way to spend my time. I love finding holiday ideas for our apartment. We went window shopping at City Creek Center, we always love going, there is tons to see and it is amazing. We enjoyed a tasty lunch at the Lion House (we LOVE those roles) and spent the afternoon lounging around at home and making delicious homemade peach ice cream with our awesome friends, Merit and Kelli. (Merit was actually Brady's mission companion and we are neighbors! We always have the best time with them!) It was definately one of the BEST DAYS of our first 4 months. I sure am lucky :)
And we didn't stop there...
We were so excited for weekend #2 spent with Zach and Garyn (One of Brady's best friends and his girlfriend) who stayed with us Friday night as they passed through SLC. And Ainsley and Dustin also came down that same weekend...Hooray! Saturday we spent hours and hours shopping for their baby on the way! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to welcome our little nephew to the family. And I am definatly in love with baby shopping it was a blast! Ainsley found so many cute things and it will be so great to plan a baby shower for her, she and Dustin will be awesome parents...and Brady and I are hoping to be the favorite aunt and uncle ;)
We all had fun making dinner, boys watching football, delicious egg nog shakes and In and Out, we can't wait to host the next FUN weekend and enjoy the rest of OCTOBER.

I am trying to be good at taking my camera on our adventures around Salt Lake but as you can probably tell I need a better camera!

 

HAPPY OCTOBER!
