Last Wednesday, Kevin and I got the opportunity to go to a Trail Blazer game! We love Portland and the Blazers! Here are some pictures of our awesome date night!!!

THANKSGIVING DAY!

WE FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE!!!

Kevin and I call it a blessing!!! We have been looking for months and months at different apartments in Provo and Orem. And to tell you the truth I was getting a little scared knowing we needed to move in a month and still no ideas where we were going to live... I thought we were going to be homeless for awhile. As most of you know, the housing in Provo isn't the greatest.. But our number one priority on our list, was being in a safe location. Kevin will be working nights when we head back to Utah and he wanted some place where he knew I would be safe. So one night last week, Kevin and I were sitting in our room looking at places to live. Keeping in mind that we needed to find something in the next week or so... We both had idea places that we wanted to live but were out of our price range. We ended up making a list of things we both wanted in an apartment, but knew we couldn't be too picky when it comes to Provo. We both got so frustrated with the whole thing, we started getting frustrated at eachother! By this point we stopped looking for apartments and said that we really needed to just have faith. So we said our prayers that night and asked heavenly father to help us and guide us to where we needed to be. The next morning, Kevin went off to work and I got up and got ready for the day not even thinking about looking for housing. I was checking my email that next morning and just thought i would peek at craigslist and see if anything had changed from the night before. (I wasn't getting my hopes up...) But the paged opened and the first thing i saw was the apartment complex that Kevin and I both LOVED was having a huge special!!!!!! I got really excited and decided to keep reading through the post. I couldn't believe it!!!! The place we both really wanted to live, that was in the best location, but was out of our price range, dropped their rent on the 1 bedrooms by $100!!!!! I was so excited! I called Kevin at work and he told me to go ahead and call the apartment, fill out the application and put the deposit down on it. Good thing I called when I did... they only had one apartment left that had that special! We are both really excited about our new home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got approved for the apartment and are all ready to move in on the 30th of this month! The only thing we didn't like about this is that we are needing to move in 2 weeks!!! SCAREY!!!!!!!!! We have started packing up everything at my mom's house and have planned to head down there the 28th of November. This was a huge blessing for us and we couldn't be more grateful!!!

Halloween BEE!

Halloween!!!

Kevin, Mia and I had an (okay) Halloween this year. I was a little disappointed... But in the end everything worked out okay! So, Kevin promised me at the beginning of the month on my birthday that we would do all the fun Halloween traditions together this year! He knew that it meant A LOT to me because this is one of my favorite holidays! Some of the traditions we talked about were...(Going to a pumpkin patch and picking our pumpkins, craving pumpkins, decorating the house, watching old and creepy Halloween movies, dressing up, and passing out candy to all the kids that came by our house!) I was so excited for this year to see all the kids in their cute and scary costumes, since last year we lived in a huge apartment complex on the third floor and the youngest kids that lived there were college students... Well... I'm sad to say out of all the fun Halloween traditions we had planned on doing, we were only able to actually participate in 2 out of the 6 on our list...

FIRST forget the pumpkin patch because of the rain... Kevin was NOT up for walking around in the rain for 30 minutes to buy a pumpkin...

SECOND, Kevin was also really was not up for craving pumpkins this year at all, because he would have to clean the mess up. We also didn't do this last Halloween either! I was not a happy person...

THIRD, I ended up doing all the decorations on the inside and outside of the house by myself... with NOOOOO help!!!!

FOURTH, last year, Kevin loved renting all the old scary movies and watching them with me. I was so excited that this year was going to be a repeat of that! But no... For some reason he wanted nothing to do with anything that involved scary movies! (I just don't get how all of a sudden things could change in one year...) I think I called him a baby about 100 times in the whole month of October! Haha!!!

FIFTH, Forget dressing up! I couldn't even get Kevin to even dress as a crazy NFL fan and wear all his AZ Cardinals stuff! He wanted nothing to do with dressing up for all the kids that came to our house. Sad huh?...

SIXTH, at the end of the night Kevin did end up participating in helping me pass out candy to all the kids... (and eating about half of the candy we bought!) I do admit i was a little angry with him about how our Halloween was going, but by the end of the night and after the Oregon football game was over, he was very helpful. Thanks Kev!

(We ended up finding the cutest little outfit for Mia to wear on Halloween. It ended up being the last of the dog costumes in the store and was missing a head piece for it, but knowing my dog she would only kept the whole outfit and costume on for a total of 2 minutes anyways. So we ended up going ahead and getting it for her. It was on clearance and was only for $3!!! It ended up fitting her perfect and she was so adorable in it!!!)
