Fall

Fall is here and I love it. My mom sent me this cute new scentsy warmer for fall. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen and I have been burning yummy fall scents. The leaves are changing outside and it is getting so pretty. Falls here are BEAUTIFUL. That is one thing I like about the East. I have been making pumpkin cookies and pumpkin bread and really getting into the spirit this year. I can't believe that this year is flying by so fast and it is almost over.

My great-grandma Mackay passed away last night in the hospital at the age of 88. She was such a great lady and always happy and smiling. I am hoping to be able to fly home this week and go to her funeral. I am so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that I have that I know where she is and that I will be able to see her again someday. I love you Grandma!

Anniversary Number Two!

Tomorrow is our 2nd anniversary! I cannot believe it has been two years already since we were sealed for time and all eternity!! :) We celebrated this weekend. Josh is so cute! He had surprises planned everyday. On Friday I got off at 6:30 and he came to pick me up...in someone else's car. He had dinner from our favorite cafe to go and a blondie..my favorite dessert from Applebee's. All of my favorite things! He had tons of stuff in the back seat that were all covered up with blankets. He took me to our favorite park with all of the ducks and we had dinner. Then we headed up the mountains.....well mountains for Pennsylvania I guess. He wouldn't tell me where we were going. We drove up and found this little secluded spot, and he uncovered the back seat. He had the TV and the playstation and movies. His plan was to play guitar hero (beca

use it is my favorite) and watch a movie in the mountains! The reason he had our friends car is because apparently he blew the fuse in our car while trying to get the TV and everything to work. Ha ha we'll have to fix that later. It was really dark and we were in the deep woods so I told Josh we should have a plan in case a bear came or something. So we talked about it a little bit and went on with our night. We got out and got everything all set up and sat in our lawn chairs and started playing guitar hero. Half way through Sweet Child of Mine we heard this BIG noise in the bushes behind us. It was WAY bigger than a squirrel or a rabbit. We both jumped up and I was armed with my guitar. Josh grabbed the flashlight, but we didn't see anything. We were both a little jumpy after that so we loaded up and headed back down towards some camp sites. Apparently we awoke some kind of large animal from its slumber in the deep forest. We parked down by this lake and Josh pulled out another surprise.

I have a manicure set thing that I do every now and then and he said he was going to give me a manicure! So we sat in the car and listened to music while he filed my nails! :) He wanted to be romantic so he brought strawberries for me to feed to him...HA HA! Since I do not like strawberries he brought me apples and caramel dip. We snacked for a bit and then headed back down towards home. The next day we woke up and Josh said he had another surprise at 2:00. I cleaned the house and got ready and then he told me we were going kayaking! We got loaded and ready to go and headed out to the mighty Susquehanna to go kayaking! It was really fun and really pretty! It was a beautiful day! Then we came home and got ready and went to dinner at this little steak and seafood place. It was

really good! Josh did such a good job and really tried to makeeverything special. He is so awesome! I do not know what I would do with out him. I love him SO much and I'm so glad that we can spend forever together! We have been through so much these past two years and we can't wait for what we have to come!

Here are a few pictures of our big day two years

ago!

Update!

Well it seems like life has begun again. Josh is in full swing with football and school. Although he is not traveling with football because his peck is not healed yet, so that has been SO nice for him to be home on the weekends! Last week some of our friends, Bree and Mike, were visiting family in State College so I was able to go down one night after work and have dinner with them and see Penn State campus and stadium. It was so cool and really fun to see them! On Friday night Josh and I went on our date night to dinner and a movie. It was Josh's turn to pick so we saw GI Joe....it was okay for a boy action blow up stuff show! I really wanted to see What About Steve but Josh promised me we could go this week! Maybe tonight for FHE so I'll let you know how that goes! I have had a week break in classes and start tomorrow my first Math for Educators class so I am excited to finally get into some classes for my major! On Saturday we went to the DC temple. It was so awesome! Our friend Jon from Bucknell went with us also, so it was good to have some company. I love the DC temple. I think it may be one thing I miss when we move. Also GOOD NEWS!!! I got my last blood test about a week ago following my molar pregnancy!! It has been a whole year since that whole thing happened! While I can't believe it has been a year, I am so happy it has because that means we are in the clear to start trying to have a baby if we want to! This past year has been one of the hardest of my life...EVER!!! But, I learned a lot and I am SO glad it is over and I don't have to go to the doctor so often and get my blood taken all the time and WORRY so much. PHEW!
