What a Surprise!

I walked in the house tonight and found these on the kitchen table! Aren't they pretty???...


My neighbor gave them to me because she wasn't digging the "sender" who gave them to her! ha ha I felt bad. She dropped them off on our doormat earlier today for Ryan to come home to and try and play it off like they were from him. They made my day!

Our Temporary Home!

At least for the next year this is our temporary home!

WELCOME TO OUR HOME!.....Well part of it.








There is so much about this apartment that I love! I never thought I would love an apartment so much, but coming from that POS in Herriman we have been so spoiled! We have a dishwasher, a disposal, air conditioning, a lot of electrical outlets, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Oh, it also has washer and dryer hookups! We just love it. The location is also another plus for us! I cannot tell you enough how spoiled and blessed we feel to have this place that we feel safe in! We have loved living here and enjoying the new area. My other favorite thing is that we live right across from Sams Club which has the best gasoline prices in town! haha AWESOME!

Halloween Subway Art

I totally love this simple Halloween Subway Art I found on http://sixsistersstuff.blogspot.com/ All I had to do was print it off and frame it! I think it is so adorable. You can find free ones to print off for every season everywhere on the Internet!


 I'm totally aware I could make them myself, but it's easier when someone else takes the time to do it for you!

Conference Crock Pot Chili

This Chili recipe I put together today after Conference. I'm getting so excited for soups and the fall season! It was kinda a combination of 3 family/friend recipes I had, but there were certain things I wanted and didn't want in it, so I put my own recipe together! I put it all in the crock pot and we took off to Big Cottonwood Canyon for a Sunday drive to see the colors of the leaves!!!!!!! We got home a couple hours later and it smelled so delicious when we walked in the door! I couldn't resist it any longer and Ryan and I absolutely loved it. It is totally simple, and I hope you try it out the next time you crave chili!
