Seasonal Plans

Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Fall is my absolute, without a doubt, 100%, favorite time of the year.

Halloween
Cool, Crisp Air
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Fall Fashion
Orange, Red and Yellow Leaves
Cozy Sweatshirt and Jackets
Crunchy Leaves
Thanksgiving
Mark and I met in the fall!


Quite honestly, fall has this fantastic feeling to it.


 Mark and I created a list of things we want to do this season!
Some are not "fall-ish," but Mark wants to do them anyway.


Haunted Houses
We need to go to every single haunted house we know of in Salt Lake City.

Corn mazes
Getting lost in a corn field is actually better than it sounds

Pumpkin Carving
We did this once last year and mine was a fail. 
We also never put a candle in them and we got them at a 
grocery store... not a pumpkin patch.
This year, as far as pumpkin carving goes, could be described as a "redemption year"

Bake Pumpkin-y Stuff!
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and bread!

Watch Scurry Movies
Tis the season for fearful eyes and ghost stories

Jazz Games
I hope our team improves every year.  Let's hope my wish will come true this time. 

Golfin
Mark's latest obsession. 

Find our engagement photo place
The lady had us follow her there and she wouldn't give us the address...
So it is our duty to hunt it down and take fun photos ourselves with our pup and reminisce!

Take Fall Photos
fall colors make for great photos

J-Dawgs
A Provo hotdog place.  We have been once almost a year ago and have never gone back because of how far away it is. So freaking good!!!

Jump in a pile of leaves
childish?.... never.

Watch football
Denver Broncos will take home the Super Bowl title this year!

Buy smell-good pine cones
Funny story.  Last year, Tim and Annie had just gotten married when we visited them in St. Geezy and we all went shopping.  We stopped by a craft store and they were selling this bag of pine cones that smelled amazing!  They bought some for their house, and Mark and I were ridiculously, obscenely jealous of them and their married life. 
(We had 6  months to go) 
 It is time for out own bag of pine cones!

Buy super awesome and ridiculous fall-time socks
warm, cozy socks are necessary

Make homemade chili
Chili on a chilly day warms the soul 

Make our own scarves
Neither of us know how to knit or make a scarf.  

Color-Me-Mine
We made plates there once and we love them!
Gotta go back and make another masterpiece

Run a marathon
I'll be running, and Mark will be cheering 

Play football!
My passes look like a dead duck.  I hope to improve 

Pumpkin-Pie Blizzards
These are seasonal.  AKA limited edition!



Your next cord biting, pillow snatching, cuddle buddy, scared of vacuum pup of a senator 
wishes you a Happy Fall!

Two Weeks

Saturday, September 21, 2013
Holy Crap!
Great Scott!
Ermahgerd!

The St. George Maraton is 14 days away. 

Mixed feelings about this one. 

My training has gone....well.....let's just say I don't think I am as ready as I want to be. 
I had some serious motivation problems and I had the hardest time lacing up my shoes and 
leaving the house to run.  I don't know why.  It boggles my mind how hard it was.  

On the bright side, I know I can do it. 
I will do it.


One really awesome thing about it is that my family is coming down to watch and I have 
family already down there to support me, Annie and Tim!

Mark, Dad, Aunt Jennifer, Grandma, Grandpa and the in-laws!
It is going to be amazing to cross that finish line with so much support!
