Falling for Fall

I always get a little bit homesick this time of year. Nothing major but it's still no fun. I am starting to pin point the things that make me miss Utah this time of year. I love fall in Utah, I love going to the BYU football games, I love the changing leaves, I love going on drives up the canyon, I love being able to bring out sweaters and boots, I love the feeling of the holidays setting in, I love the feeling of conference weekend in Utah when girls are out and about during priesthood session and then the restaurants are flooded with men in their white shirts, I loved and miss going to a decent school more than I ever imagined. Aaron told me Pinterest was going to be the death of my education and I replied the death of my education happened once we left Utah. That sounds more depressing than I really mean it to...but whatevs. I am sure glad we get a lot of visitors this time of year. We also had a few new young couples move into our ward and we've had a lot of fun getting to know them, so that's good.
p.s. My parents come TOMORROW and I can't wait!

D is for Dancer

Dance is back in full swing and I am loving it! Have I ever mentioned I have the best job ever? It is going to be real hard to give it up once I get a job as a nurse next year. It really brightens my week and I always look forward to going...which obviously isn't always the case with a job. It takes a few classes to get to know your students and learn how to best teach them and then pretty soon they are making you laugh every day and melting your heart. Every year there are a few standout students that are so stinking cute, you just want to bundle them up and take home! Last week one of my favorite moments was when Riley and Addison randomly wanted to guess my age and after thinking real hard they guessed 10....and 11! Haha, They almost got it:)

Pinterest

hahaha this picture is reallllly great AND realllly old



the more i pin, the more i realize i'm going to need more boards...bring it on!

Aaron and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our fall guests. I can't wait for my mom and dad to come and then jelissa and then adam. and maddie and joey, you better make this girls trip happen because i've already started planning it in my head...it's gonna be a good fall around here.

Lame

Well this week was definitely lame. I woke up last Sunday morning with back spasms, which I haven't had since I was a senior in high school. I don't know how to explain back spasms other than you're basically paralyzed...as in like you can't even move your head side to side. So I lied in bed all week, got some good use out of my heating pad and ice packs, and was nursed back to a functioning level by my sweet husband. It was pretty crappy but there were some tender moments in there. Like when my mom called all monday morning but I couldn't get to my phone and when I was able to call her back she had already started packing to get right down to Arizona. I told I knew I would start feeling better in a few days and that I really was ok so her and my dad insisted I go get as many massages as I needed and those have been a lifesaver! Aaron was so good at preparing dinner for us and keeping the house clean despite his busy schedule and my friend Ashley even offered to come over and wash my hair for me. I was so grateful for everyone's love this week. Also, a big thanks to everyone who spent time updating their blogs and pinning new items for me to browse through during all my down time. And a huge thanks to Tim Riggins....yes I did complete 2 seasons of Friday Night Lights this week. Cheers to a better upcoming week, The Bach Pad finale, and a new season of Ellen.

22 or 12?

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am 22 years old going on....12? This picture was taken just a couple weeks ago and Aaron and I can't stop laughing at it because I look like a little kid. Oh well...maybe it means I'll look 30 when I'm 50!
p.s. I realize the jeans/shoes are not flattering at all...but we were 4 wheeling:)
