This month looks good

{a few of the things I'm excited for November}

• Thursday = DISNEYLAND {and also Veterans Day. Hurray for Veterans! Like my brother-in-law Robert. And both of my grandfathers.}
• NEXT Thursday, after our second in every other week Temple baptisms, Kait and I are going to see HARRY POTTER 7 PART 1 at MIDNIGHT. {If you happen to be able to make it to Escondido the night of the 18th we would very much like your company}
• The Thursday after that will be THANKSGIVING!!!! My all time favorite holiday. You are required to see family, eat lots of yummy food and the Christmas season starts. And you don't have to worry about impressive gifts. {It helps that my Thanksgivings are full of palm trees, sunshine, and a teeny bit of cold so you can wear a cute sweater.}

Google

So I've realized that my blog comes up in google searches for people trying to figure out their lives. {I have proof if you think I'm pulling your leg.} So I've decided that in each post I'm going to try to be inspirational, or rather, use other, more eloquent, people's inspirational words. Most likely what will happen is I'll just post links to other websites, but to start I'd like to share this talk I read this morning.

From the Priesthood Session last month, Patrick Kearon of the Seventy gave a talk about staying on the straight and narrow, and our ability to use the atonement when we stray. I love his examples of how catastrophic even varying slightly off the path can be but he also provides hope when he shares how Jesus Christ is waiting with open arms to heal us from the damage. The title is "Come unto Me with Full Purpose of Heart, and I Shall Heal You”.

Happy Sabbath!

When it rains it pours.

I finally got a paycheck last Thursday! Here are some of the things I've spent it on:

• This BEAUTIFUL soft CoZy sweater from Fossil. It's the dark tan one. I've worn it pretty much every day. Even thought it's been 80 degrees outside. {I want a leather messenger bag from there for school... They're sooo pretty}
• Chocolate chips, and pumpkin puree for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. YUMMMMY
• And then some of it went to the deposit for another one of these!!! Hospitality this time!!!!!!!!!
• And I'm saving the rest of that paycheck for my deposit for my new apartment in Provo!!! {I'm signing the contract and putting it in the mail sometime between Friday and Tuesday.}

Don't worry, I won't be giving a narcissistic update about my selfish purchases every two weeks. But after two months of nothing, its nice to have something. And give me another two months and I'll be broke, broke, broke for the next 16 months at least.
