So We Found A Place To Live!!!

We are no longer going to be homeless in a month. This past weekend I went to Utah with my in-laws. My nephew Bowen was blessed on Sunday. Cory couldn't go because he had 2 tests to take this weekend. It was about an hour before we were leaving, and I found a post on craigslist. It sounded great and had everything I have been looking for. So skeptically (you would know from my previous post) I emailed the person. I left my phone number because I would not be by a computer anytime soon. The sweetest girl named Melissa called me back within the hour. We went and saw the place Saturday, signed a contract Monday and we are good to go. I can't believe how seamlessly everything worked out. Obviously I need to be more patient, because there is a bigger picture and a plan for us. So we will be moving out the weekend of graduation, which will be interesting, and moving in the following Monday. If you didn't catch that, I'm GRADUATING! :) excited beyond words. If you would like to see our new place click here. It is a little town house, the brick. . .  (foe brick :) one on the end closest to you.

I HATE SCAMMERS!!!

Ok so I have had at least 3 people try to scam me on Craigslist. I am so sick of it! I think i have finally found the perfect place to live after hours and weeks and months of searching, so I email the person who posted the perfect place on craigslist. Come to find out it is some guy in Nygeria who says I have to send him $1400 and he will mail me the keys and documentation. Or another guy who says I have to fill out a credit check and give him all of my personal information before he will give me his phone number or the address to the place because last time it got vandalized. SO ANNOYING! So to all of those scam artists out there, GET A REAL JOB I HATE YOU! And hello have you ever googled yourself? other people posted the same email that you sent to me.  Anyway now that I ranted I feel a bit better. I do love my life ha I swear, I just hate trying to find somewhere to live.

Enough complaining, here are some good things in my life. I have the most wonderful husband in the world! He did all of our dishes last night because I was too tired and lazy :) Also I bought Catching Fire and Mocking Jay so I can finish the Hunger Games series. I was actually reading last night, that is why he did the dishes instead of me. I read the first book about 3 weeks ago and then I couldn't find the other two in Rexburg. I went to Sam's Club last night and they had both! They are so good. Another great thing is that Thanksgiving is coming up! I love thanksgiving. Also school is flying by so that means only 5 more weeks of my college career and then I am DONE! Well not technically, if you count student teaching, but i surely do not. I won't even be on campus for it, and I am walking at graduation in December.

October Gone Already!

Cory's delicious Oreo ice cream cake! 

Adorable little Sammy right after we cleaned the hand full of whip cream off of her, she has quick sneaky little hands! 

Delicious peach fruit leather in the making, Yummy! 

This one is last year's pumpkin, but the timing is right. We threw our pumpkin away already this year because it was on on one of the tables for our ward party. . . enough said. 

October went by so fast! Cory's day of birth was on the 1st and it seems like yesterday. I absolutely love fall and it is freezing into winter way too fast for my liking. I love the fall colors, the fall cents, the cookies, the hot cocoa, carving pumpkins, and so many more things but especially Thanksgiving! I also really love Christmas so that is the next thing to look forward to. I am pretty sad that we will be moving in December because I won't set up our tree this year :( I love our tree it is so cute! Also we will be in Arizona for Christmas this year, that will be interesting, my first Christmas without snow.  We have been so busy. I swear the only thing I have been thinking about is that I still have nowhere to live in Provo. We are moving in December.  There is one potential prospect. We were the 3rd people to respond to a Craigslist post that was online for 1 day. It is a super cute condo that is really nice and affordable, and super close to campus. We are waiting to see if there is still a chance for us. The manager is going in the order he received the applications. So I am praying that it doesn't work out for the other two people ;) We have both been super busy with school this month, so there has not been too much time for blogging. I registered for student teaching today, so it is official, Next semester is my LAST semester of school!! I am excited beyond words. We have been trying to spend as much time with family as possible with our families before we move, we will miss them so much. I have been privileged to see a lot of my little niece Sammy who is seriously the cutest thing! I love her to death. We will miss our parents and my siblings, and of course everyone else we will be leaving like grandparents. I know it is only 4 hours away, but you have to realize I have only lived outside of Idaho once in my life and it was only for one summer, I am kind of a baby. I have a bunch of pictures to post, but my camera is not cooperating. . .  so next time. Oh I think I just got it to work. So here are some pictures of the adventures over the last few months.

Harry Potter

So I just finished the 6th Harry Potter book! I tried to read them all over our summer break, but that didn't quite happen. I have to admit that I did not read much my first few years of college, but Harry Potter has renewed my love. It is hard to get yourself to do something for enjoyment, when it is the only thing you are doing for 3-5 hours a day for classes. Harry Potter has a very soft little spot in my heart! I found myself in sacrament meeting imagining the speaker with a wand to his throat like Ludo Bagman projecting his voice, I had to laugh for a second. I wish so bad that it were real. Though that world is not real, I find myself comparing it to our world. There are so many truths, and things to be learned about good and evil. J.K. is a brilliant woman! I am about to start the 7th book right now and get a few chapters in before I go to bed. In a way it makes me a bit sad that I am at the end of my Harry Potter journey. Series are so great! I will just have to find something else intriguing to read next, and someday in the future I will have to snuggle up on the couch with Harry again, and lie there for hours in a world of imagination.

Saturday Morning

Cory and I have been married for about 22 months, and I am just starting our blog. I had one started last September, but I never got it up and going. We just started our Fall semester in Rexburg Idaho, and Fall is definitely in the air. The days are still pretty warm, but the nights are getting really cold!
Today is the first official Saturday of the semester. (since we started on a Thursday, I didn't count the last one) This is my last semester of school YEAH! I am studying Elementary Education, so I still have to do student teaching, but I am going to march at graduation in December. I am going to do my student teaching in Utah though because Cory is transferring to BYU. He is studying Chemical Engineering and they do not offer that here at BUY-Idaho. We are so excited to move in December. It will be a fun new adventure for us, but we will also miss our families very much! Mostly mine because a lot of Cory's family now lives in Utah.
