Halloween~

Chris being in a management position as a Team Lead in the design department at work, he dressed up as a hot snowboarder dude. Not that Chris needed that excuse since Halloween is one of his favorite holiday's ;) Next time I may need to participate and support my husband for moments such as these. Work at some fun costume and soup/chili prizes for the winner's. It was fun to see all the children come through visiting mom or dad at work before they started there trick-or-treating! I really can't wait to develop these memories with our children! I miss so much going out with my siblings and dressing them all up! It was hard not being home with them so Chris and I decided to go spend the evening at his parents place to help Fran pass out candy. Chris gave out most of the candy until it slowed down. Once that trick-or-treater's stopped coming, we ate and watched a movie with James and Fran. What better way to spend your evenings then with family loved ones :)

Grandma & Grandpa Wilson's big day~

Again, these are my favorite times that I look forward to all year every year! All of the family on the Wilson side met at Doug's place for a Open House to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's birthday. The weather was lovely so we were able to eat outside as well and mingle with all the relatives. I am grateful for all the time that we have had to be with them both here on earth and witness the beautiful family they raised! The turn out was fabulous and Grandma and Grandpa also had many friends stop by which was so very sweet and thoughtful!
I look back and think of what they were like when they were younger and I see all there children all grown with children and see the growth! I also look back and remember the very first time I met them and grandma wanted to know when we were getting married! It was so funny because Chris and I had not even dated a couple months at this point and we were at Joshua's mission farewell. I hope to always remember those times and feelings of acceptance and love that they expressed from the very start. They adore Chris and I am grateful to be apart of the family they started! What a wonderful life this is and Chris has many many wonderful memories with them both! Happy Birthday!!!!

Haunted House ~

This Halloween year, Chris and I went to the Haunted House located in SL off 3300 S. with some of our good friends, Natalie and Spencer. It has been many years since I attended a Haunted House for one reason. I hate being scared!!!!
Chris had a little bit of fun with my nerves throughout the experience to say the least. It all started out with a very very very tall creature dressed in all black who manged to somehow get really low to the ground right behind me while we were waiting to get in. Yes! I could not even make it into the Haunted House before screaming out on the top of my lungs for a short few seconds until I hid my face in Chris' chest. I did not appreciate this start, all I had to do was turn my head to the left to fins that he was level with my face! So that did it for me, I stayed as close to my husband as possible throughout the whole thing until I could finally relax in the car. So all in all, it was a great Haunted House and I was impressed with it all since they accomplished what they intend to do right from the start lol!
It may be quit a few more years in between before I go again.......maybe. I had fun with our friends and they all had fun to but I am not sure that our future kids can really discover how chicken their mother is ha ha!

Little Cotton Wood

This evening we decided to get outside and play with the camera. In a heart beat Chris was on board the moment I told him that I would like to learn more about taking pictures! This is a passion of Chris' :) He loves photography and he would like for us to grow together and find interests that we both enjoy doing together. I would love to learn everything Chris knows! He is so brilliant! Working together has already helped our relationship so much! We love spending 24 hours together and to finish work at work and then get in the zone of being husband and wife when we leave the building! I have grown so much and I have been able to develop a greater understanding of what Chris does and will do to provide for me and our future family.

This turned into more of a beautiful drive through Little Cotton Wood Canyon because it was getting cold quick and the sun was going down. I spotted a little water fall/creek so we decided to pull over and take some pictures there! I love water! Everything about it I love! I wish I could hear the sound of water all the time! So I took some fun pictures of the running water down the fall and some leaves. This is my favorite time of the year! The Fall!!! I love wearing scarfs and light jackets, the feel of the brisk cool air and the beautiful colors :) After we took turns playing with the camera we decided to set the camera on some rocks and have a picture taken of us for the holidays as you can see above!

Dinner date!

Chris and I had a lovely evening with our friends, Jennifer and Ryan. Jennifer spent the evening preparing for our arrival by making a delicious curry meal with rice for dinner! We have had India food together and Jennifer took it to the next level by preparing it herself! This has been one of several occasions that we have met for dinner and catch up on life. I wish I took the time to learn how to better cook for my husband. With this new job, we are spending most of the little free time I had working overtime. Though I have much to learn, I am grateful for her example! We thoroughly enjoyed dinner with our friends following a good time playing some card games before the night got too late. I continue to feel so grateful for Jennifer's wonderful friendship. She has been so kind and thoughtful throughout the years from when we first lived together back in 2003. I will forever remember all the good memories we have together and I continue to look forward to the memories to come.
