I know I haven't posted anything in awhile, not because nothing has been going on but I have been CRAZY BUSY!!! Work has been insane, I have been packing to move (not by choice), and I have been playing like crazy!!! I feel like November has run away from me when I wasn't even looking. How rude!! The last couple of weeks have given me time (if you call in the middle of the night and rushing from one thing to the next time) to reflect on the most important things in life. Whenever I am loosing focus on those important things I have experiences to get me refocused.
The last couple of weeks I have had many of those experiences, far too many to blog about! But I do want to make mention of a couple things that I am grateful for and that have been on my mind. First I am EXTREMELY thankful and grateful for my family and friends! I love them so much....every last one of them!!! I am very blessed with a GREAT support system! I have a great immediate family, extended family, work family, and circle of friends who love me NO MATTER WHAT!!! And that makes me smile!!! :)
I am thankful for the gospel in my life. I have a testimony that can get me through anything and I can't deny what I know. And because of the gospel I am able to meet and associate with AMAZING people! Two of which passed on this week. These 2 great men had an influence in my life that will stay with me forever. They taught me about faith, endurance, charity, and so much more. Thank you Arlyn and Lorin for being great influences in my life.
I will post photos of the things I have been up to the last couple of weeks after I get moved!

Fall and Halloween Fun!
The last two weekends in October were fun filled, but a lot less eventful unlike how the summer has been! We had an enrichment activity that took a lot of planning and time on my part, but it turned out great and we had a great turn out! My friends and I went to the pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins. Halloween we went to two parties. They were fun and the best part was that Tyler agreed to let us dress him up. He was just going to go as a snowboarder...lame since he is one!!! It was fun finding things for him to wear and creating a fun image for him!

My New Routine.....
For many years I have been thinking that when I have a family I will start a cleaning routine so that I can clean a little each day and keep up on my housework. I LOVE me a good clean house but find that when I spend one day doing it all it takes so much time and then I put it off for a week or so cause I want to play more! Well I finally got to the point where I said, "Why should I wait for kids??" So I came up with my "chore chart" and started it this week. It has been great so far! I have spent very little time each night (10 minutes or so) doing something and think that it just might stick! And my house is spotless! I am sure that there will be times when I get off my routine, but being as flexible as I am I can switch the jobs around if I don't have much time.
Give it a try! Happy Cleaning!!!
