happy october!

we’re only 9 days into october, but already it’s been great. here’s what’s made me happy this october (and the last weekend in september if you want to get technical):

• beautiful weather
• finding a baker’s rack i like at the container store (LOVE that store)
• getting a new computer
• cheese pizza and frozen yogurt at costco for dinner
• getting my dvr back…it’s been 2 years since i lived someplace where i can have satellite tv, but more importantly the dvr!
• general conference
• a sweet email from dave
• getting our house organized (although this is still a work in progress)
• a surprise visit from erin and john (dave’s sister and her husband)
• attending the relief society broadcast with my mom
• getting our whole security deposit back from our apartment when we moved out
• setting family and personal goals
• playing kickball with the young women and young men (even if we lost by 1 run)
• teaching a lesson on temple marriage in young women’s
• no lines at elitch’s (our amusement park) which meant we rode all the good rollercoaster’s multiple times…a few in a row (without ever exiting our seat…that’s the best)
• heroes – crazy!
• the office – yea pam and jim!
• candy corn
• the best husband who made my tough day better. this included comfy pants, mac 'n cheese with chicken from noodles and company, roses, purchasing and watching episodes from season 1 of scrubs
• talking to my friend ashley on the phone (she actually updated her blog too!)
• babies being born – edyn and owen
• scripture study where i really felt like i was tutored by the lord
• shopping with dave
• talking with my sister and brother on the phone
• seeing halloween costumes for little kids in the stores...so cute!
• the changing color of leaves
• watching falling leaves
• running

i can't wait for the rest of the month!
