For Halloween, we decided to be Where's Waldo and Wenda! It was so much fun! It was a cheap/easy costume! Our ward party was Alice in Wonderland themed and it was so neat! We had food colored gravy, awesome cupcakes, painted white roses red, and made a madhatter's hat.
We also had a fall break (a much needed fall break) and decided to spend the night in a Little America Hotel in Salt Lake! It was AWESOME! We were on the 16th floor on October the 16th and were married on a 16! haha The room was BEAUTIFUL and there were rose petals in the shape of a heart spread out on the king size bed!! It was a lot of FUN!
On another note, I just want to say that we are so blessed! I LOVE my job!! I look forward to going to work. I love the patients and coworkers! I have made some special bonds with some of the patients. One patient that I have gotten really close to is like my grandma. She took Brad and I out to dinner! Today she told me she loved me and guess what?! I love her too! She is very lonely and widowed. Everyone thinks she is a grumpy old lady but she is the SWEETEST lady underneath. She has been through a lot!! All she needs is someone to love her and appreciate her.
My in-laws have been another huge blessing in my life. My family is in Virginia so sometimes it's hard, but my in-laws are so willing to help me feel love and they make sure to take care of me. I love them so much and am grateful I got good in-laws! They are taking the whole family on VACATION to DISNEYLAND in February! I am so EXCITED because I have never been to California or Disneyland! I will get to meet my role model...GOOFY!!! haha
In school this semester, I decided to take an institute class (church class). I am taking Book of Mormon from Brother Hunter with Kristin. It has been another HUGE blessing. I have gained such a GREATER testimony and appreciation of the Book of Mormon! My teacher is AMAZING! He is so knowledgeable about the scriptures and so spiritual! He gives us tons of COOL quotes! If anybody wants copies let me know. I love the church! I love the temple and the blessings that come from keeping my covenants.
Speaking of the temple, my GREAT friend Charlotte just got to go through the temple for the FIRST time last Friday! She is going on a mission to FIJI in February! She asked me to be her escort for her first time through the temple which was a huge honor to be with her! She is so smart and spiritual! I love her so much and she has been there for me many times.
Brad has been working hard and doing so good at work! He is also doing great in school and hanging in there for his tough semester. He is a great husband and so supportive.
We have been so blessed with amazing family and friends! Every little thing is AWESOME and the support we have helps us get through some of the toughest times. Thank you everybody for everything. We love you all! Have a HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!
