Last night was Davis' Halloween Dance and it was so fun!! We dressed up like hippies and rocked it. Thanks Whites for the costume! My date wore a black long wig that was so funny! When I came to the door to pick him up, he came out and said "If this scares you I can totally take it off", pointing to the wig. hahaha! Our group had 6 couples and 3 of them were dressed as undercover superheroes and 3 were hippies. I'm glad we just went with the costume we all wanted to do/was easy :) We also got our Nutcracker sweats and pictures yesterday! I love them!! Emily's costume was classic! Last minute DI find with her mom a few hours earlier. Her shoes were pretty great. Putrid orange flowered stilettos for 3 bucks. She looked adorable. Like seriously who else could pull off those flowing red pants? We went to Alyssa's house to carve pumpkins and take group and couple pictures. We decided to carve the classic jack-o-lantern face instead of attempting somethin

I saw Meet The Mormons on Friday with some good friends and I loved it!! It was inspiring and eye-opening to hear and see stories from people of different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and interests that also believe what I do. Everyone is so different and unique, especially in the church. God's kingdom needs every kind of talent and person. I'm thankful that the missionaries are sharing the gospel with every kind of people so that we can all be unified as children of God, all aware of the truth, and all part of building up the kingdom of God. He needs everyone. He wants everyone to come back to Him. He yearns for us all to feel of his love and respect one another. The movie had a pilot and hero, a humanitarian and leader, a convert and mother, a boxer and teacher, a bishop and father. They were all amazing examples of accepting others (including their faiths, cultures and differences), of serving their fellow men, and of living their standards fully. I'm so thankful to

With your golden palette of divine hues, Your crisp cool air and midnight blues, The pumpkin patches and starry nights, With sparkling fires and twinkle lights. The swirling gusts and whistling breeze, Cinnamon smells and crunching leafs. The mountains ablaze with a vibrant glow, The patter of rain on a rustic window. With your bountiful harvests And tickling chill, Spherical moons and celestial crests. Welcome, bright autumn Season of dazzling thrill.
