Still SSooo in LOVE

My parents left on Sunday and we were sad to see them go. 

 

 We had a lot of fun with them here.

and were so glad they got to stay as long as they did.

 

This was at a little place called Pirate's Cove

We even got to see my cousin Robert and his family who we haven't seen for a few years! It was fun catching up.

We are doing great and still ssooo in LOVE (thank heavens)

Our little apartment is coming together nicely 

and we can't wait for our wedding pictures to hang on the wall.

Then i'll post some pics.

Kyle had his last football practice yesterday- no more waking up at 5 am!! 

wahoo!!

But he is still staying busy with school work. He is such a smart man and im so glad to call him mine.

Lately I have been busy listening to Christmas music and thinking of what yummy Christmas treats I am going to bake, whats presents to buy for all my favorite people and how tan i hope to get in Cancun ;)

Next up:

Thanksgiving

Honeymoon 

Christmas in Idaho

Can't wait for all this to come. 

To me this really is the most wonderful time of the year.

I love walking into stores and hearing the Christmas music

I love thinking of what I can do for others

Shopping is the BEST at Christmas time

And thanks to Pinterest I have many ideas for Christmas goodies 

I just love the Holidays.

Kyle and I have to talk in our ward on Sunday.

I was given the topic of charity and he was given gratitude.

I was looking up different talks and different quotes and found so many wonderful things.

In Kyle's Preach my Gospel book it tells us that we must pray to be filled with the pure love of Christ. It goes on to say:

As you follow this counsel and strive to do righteous works, your love for all people will increase, especially those among whom you labor. You will come to feel a sincere concern for the eternal welfare and happiness of other people. You will see them as children of God with the potential of becoming like our Heavenly Father, and you will labor in their behalf.

Serving others is something I feel I could do better at

& is a way to become more Christlike.

This is the best time of the year to set the goal to serve others.

Not only when its the right time for you but when they need you.

There are so many in need around the Holidays.

So hopefully each of us individually can help someone else to have a very Merry Christmas :)

Monterey Bay Aquarium

My birthday was on Halloween.

I had a wonderful day-thanks to my sweet husband.

I got the cutest pair of shoes and got to enjoy myself at the spa getting a manicure and pedicure.

Then on Saturday we planned to go to Monterey Bay Aquarium

My parents decided to come to California for the week, so it was extra fun having them there. 

We even brought Grandma along- she did great!

 

  me and my Momma

 Those are the cute shoes Kyle gave me for my birthday :)

 Aren't both of these things ugly?!

We had a great time-

being together and

learning new things about weird creatures

The craziest thing I learned by far was-

In the Seahorse family, the male carries the babies-not the mom.

Isn't that nuts. It even had a video demonstrating how the male give birth

(I've never had kids before, but I have heard all about it)

and boy let me tell ya- I wish it was as easy as a Seahorse.

I would consider having more than 4 kids ;)

 After the Aquarium we walked right down the street to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. 

and had a yummy dinner.

 I am so grateful for the great parents, cute husband and fun 88 year old Grandma I have that made this day so special. Family is such a wonderful part of our lives.

& I'm so glad I have them to share this beautiful life with!
