Fall Fiesta

You know how Halloween was like AGES ago (at least it feels that way). Well, I'm finally blogging about it. Seeing as how all the young couples in our ward have 3-5 children, that meant that they would all be trick or treating or handing out candy to trick or treaters. So we kept it chill and just had a yummy broccoli and cheese soup dinner with some candy corn shaped cheesecake. To clarify, no, it was not candy corn flavored, it just looked like a cute candy corn!

We then watched Season of the Witch, featuring Nicolas Cage, and it was okay. Scary enough for us without giving nightmares.

A week ago we got to be a part of an Albertsons store closing featuring most every item at 75% off!! It was a MAD HOUSE. My incredible husband stood in line for 5 HOURS to get our food. I would have been with him there the whole time, but after being in line for and hour and a half, a friend picked me up to go to our Relief Society activity. And while I was there, I remembered that the store was closing at 7 and that I wouldn't be able to get back in line with him :( So he had to be in line by himself for 3 & 1/2 hours. Of course, by that time, everyone in line made great friends with each other since they knew they were going to be there for a while. We felt like extreme couponers as the total went from $240 to $59! 75% off is awesome! But I don't think we'd ever want to do that again.

We are excited for Thanksgiving in two weeks and for my family to come up and visit us! I keep wanting to go to Voodoo Doughnuts but am holding out til they get here.

Fall up here is so pretty and the colors have been changing a lot lately! I can't believe Utah has had 3 snow storms already. It's been sunny skies in the 50's.

Anybody wanna come visit? We have a spare room just waiting for company!
