october and november

Guess who is behind on blogging, AGAIN

Oh boy do we love long drives in the fall!! 

In October I got a job at a high end floral design shop in Park City. I have had this enormous love for flowers my whole life, and I decided I need to work with them. As a career. I used my connections and got to work Saturdays at the shop, and this wedding was what I got to help with on my second day. Obviously, I'm hooked. 



October family temple trip at the Jordan River temple. I love this busy beautiful temple! 

Perk number 463782 of working at a flower shop that does weddings: getting to keep leftover unwanted flowers.

Perk number 142415 of having your bestie work at a clothing store: she's my personal shopper.

We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch to get our happy pumpkins!

And of course carved them according to our interests


Some bud vases I got to put together



First bouquet to put together

Gypsies for Halloween!!


Got to do a fun quilt for my girl Bree's new baby! 


And then got to meet the baby! He's so perfect

We got to go to my sweet friend Kate's sealing at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. What a beautiful day


And I got a brother in law!! Tyler came home from his mission in Toronto 


My face always looks like that when i'm waiting for missionaries at the airport :)

Their missions overlapped by a couple months, so they were apart for almost four years!!

Our official thanksgiving picture haha. We love football!
We did have a lovely thanksgiving, it was so good to get to spend it with both of our families!!

We went to the Celebration of Christ at the Capitol Theater. It was a multi faith concert put on for Christmas to celebrate our Savior's birth and ministry. The performances were so good, and the choirs were so fun!

birthday month

Had a fantastic birthday month! 


We camped at the spruces for a few days over Labor Day weekend. It was the right amount of chilly and so beautiful for our last camping trip of the season.
We hiked donut falls one morning.




We love campfire lasagna :)
We finished the weekend by driving over guardsmans pass to go paddle boarding with dallin's family. What a fun tradition! 

Dallin's first rodeo :)





Alabama concert



Flowers for my birthday! I have the best husband ever

And frozen and a new gel lamp! #spoiled

My favorite French friend went to Disneyland Paris on my birthday and she facetimed me during the big firework show! What a funnnn gift! (Ignore my awkward excited FaceTime picture)



Sunday we had my birthday dinner with the grandparents. The usual hamburgers and homemade fries, and mom made the most wonderful fresh cake! 



Salt lake temple session and Cheesecake Factory afterwards for my birthday!! What a lucky girl
