Halloween Time

I Love this time of year. There is so much to do and Fall is just fun. Its nice crisp weather and pumpkins seem to be everywhere. We did a Trunk or Treat with our ward last week and it was so FUN to see all the cute kids dressed in their costumes. We took Monet with us and she had fun because her friend Avery is in our ward. They got lots & lots of candy!

I didn't know because I hadn't gone to a Trunk or Treat before, but the kids just keep going around until all the candy is GONE! Which was great for Kyle and I because we finally got our wedding candy out of the apartment!! phew!
  

A couple nights later we went down to Farmers Market. Monet's nanny, Hannah, was taking her so we wanted to tag a long.

 There were so many people there and little kids. We saw some funny costumes, its a amazing what creative people come up with.
These pumpkins were brought to Farmers Market.
They were HUGE!


I finally got some Fall Decor in my house! There is no place for decorations in my whole apt. :( So once I got this accent table (thanks to my mother-in-law) I had to get decorations on it asap!




We have done a couple other fun things lately too, like hiking Bishop's Peak.

We thought we wouldn't make it to the top before dark, cause we were going slower with Monet.
But thanks to Kyle-who put her on his shoulder- we made it! :)
It's really far up and it's beautiful


I also made yummy Halloween Sugar cookies
(made with wheat flour)
for a small bbq we had with some close San Luis Friends

My mom gave me a cute little Sugar cookie set for my birthday


Yummy Yummy!!

Now it's time to put away all the fun Halloween things and...
turn on the CHRISTMAS MUSIC
My most favorite time of the year.

don't worry I haven't forgotten Thanksgiving.
I am excited to
spend time with all the in-laws
and
pig out on delicious Thanksgiving food-
not feeling one bit bad about it

Hikes, Beach & Family


We have been loving the married life. Kyle goes to school everyday from 5:30 am to 6:15 pm. Except for Thursdays he gets done at 3, which I love. We are always get to do something fun-like go to the beach, go on a hike or just run errands together.

Kyle is such an awesome husband. Im so glad i picked him to spend FOREVER with!

Hike at Montana de Oro

It's really pretty here

A warm day at Avila Beach


This is a hike up on the hills behind our house


This weekend Kyle didn't have football so we went to his parents house in Camarillo, Ca which is about 2 hours from us.
We had so much fun.


We got there Friday night.
Then Saturday we were able to go shopping-there are still somethings we needed for our apartment.
Kyle's mom Linda came with us to show us all the good store.
We went to a place called Home Goods
It was awesome.
Its like a TJ-Maxx but only things for the home
We got a lot of things there.
Linda bought me my two favorite for a birthday gift.
A cute accent table and a beautiful mirror. {I'll post pictures as soon as Kyle hangs it up for me}
Later that evening we went to the temple {LA}
It was a wonderful session and I loved being back in that beautiful place with my Kyle again.
Then we went to Sushi- YUM
Sunday we went to church and then had dinner with Kyles family, grandparents and his Uncle & Aunt
Dinner was delicious and it was a wonderful weekend.
I loved that Kyle never had to leave me :)

The BEST news of the week....

9.30.2011

We are married and we couldn't be happier. Our wedding day was perfect. I kept waiting for something to go wrong, but we were very blessed and had the most perfect day.

That morning when I woke up bright and early I couldn't believe I was getting married. As we rushed out the door, I noticed the air was fresh and crisp, I knew we were going to have amazing weather. It was a beautiful sunny day.
We picked up Kyle and headed to the beautiful Rexburg, Idaho Temple where we were going to be sealed together for time and all eternity.
When we arrived and walked into the temple, I still couldn't believe it was here and were going to be married! We had a beautiful sealing and we're so grateful for our special friends and family that were all there with us. We feel so blessed to have such amazing supportive people in our lives.

When I was putting on my wedding dress, with the help of my mom, Lexie and Jodi, it hit me. I had just been sealed to my best friend, the most amazing handsome guy i know. I was married.
We walked out of the temple hand in hand, with the biggest smiles on our faces and saw ALL the amazing people who were there showing there love and support!

After taking pictures we then went down the road to a church for our luncheon, that my awesome Aunt Elaine, Aunt Loren, and Julie went to all the work of doing. (With the help of others) The food was delicious and set in our stomachs just perfect.

We then rushed to the church in Driggs to get a final things together for the reception. 
The bridal party went and took pictures by Cottonwood Corner.
6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, 1 bride, 1 groom and one amazing photographer. {Amanda Rowsell} I have only seen one picture {below} but i am pretty sure these pictures turned out amazing.

We then went back to the church house, took pictures with our family, enjoyed our wonderful reception and had a fun romantic evening together at the Honeymoon Suite at Teton Springs Lodge and Spa.

Our reception, I think we made a church gym look pretty good.
Thanks to my Dad, brother and Steve Craw for taking ALL day to to the ceiling.
