Concerts, Halloween, Snow, and More!

Hello! Sorry it's been a while, life has been very busy! We just passed midterms (hallelujah!) and things are starting to wind down at school. I figured I would catch you  all up on the past couple weeks!

To start off, Steven and I made a quick trip to Utah to go to a concert the day before Halloween. It was our first concert together and tons of fun! It was lucky that we were able to find a band that we BOTH like. Shoutout to Transit for being great.

Mandatory roadtrip selfie! 

I would like to thank Utah for having In-N-Out

Transit

Next up, pumpkin carving for FHE and Halloween costumes! I told Steven that some people were drilling holes into their pumpkins on Pinterest and he thought that was pretty cool, so that explains why we have a drill out while carving our pumpkins. Also, I have noticed that holidays are a lot more fun when you have a husband to share them with!

Works in progress

The final products! An owl and a cool drilled diamond.

We were camp counselors for halloween! Camp Crystal Lake counselors to be exact! 

Snow has been in the forecast a lot lately. It didn't snow as much as it said it would, but there was definitely snow! It has been super cold here for about a week, but we are excited for winter because winter means the Holiday Season! Hooray! 

Brrrr! Too much snow! 

Cute little snowflakes! 

Speaking of holidays... Christmas decorations are up in our apartment and I couldn't be happier about it! The snow really put me in the mood to bust the Christmas tree out! I love the Christmas season and I love Christmas decorations, so it seemed appropriate to make them last a little longer this year! 

The tree! (I know it's dark at the top. Let's not talk about it)

This tree was ready for its close up! 

This is a little ditty I made for my Etsy shop's Instagram, but I just thought it was cute for you guys to see too! Merry Christmas! 

Fourth of July!

Hello friends and family! Last week was a fun one because it was Independence Day (*screeching eagle in background*)!

Before I talk about our Independence day festivities I just wanted to share this little picture from a walk around Nature Park with Steven.

Look at these cutie ducks!! I am super scared of birds, but ducks hold a special place in my heart. These guys were just going from one pond to another. There are tons of ducks around here and there are a ton of little babies! SO CUTE. 

I was able to make some time on Friday to attend the Rexburg temple. It is SO beautiful! And it was such a great experience. I just love going to the temple. I always want to be there! (bummer that it's closed on Mondays because I was totally ready to go again!) 

Anyway, the 4th was super fun! Steven and I went down to Blackfoot to spend time with his parents! It started off with a BBQ at the Porter's (not related to me at all, but nonetheless real life Porters!) which was super fun and 100% delicious! 

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures at the BBQ. BUT I do have these pictures of Steven and I right after the BBQ! 

So patriotic!

Blackfoot sunset

Blackfoot has some pretty amazing sunsets! This was right before Steven set off some fireworks (illegal? maybe! Awesome? definitely!). After we set off most of the fireworks we found at the Park's home we watched the Blackfoot firework show from the comfort of the trampoline in the backyard.

Overall, it was a great weekend! I am so thankful for all of the people who gave their lives to fight for our independence and freedoms. I feel so blessed to live in this beautiful country and to enjoy the freedoms given to us. 'Merica baby!
