Internship

Today was a great day! I got accepted as an intern at United Way with the Welcome Baby department. I am soo excited!!! I was having zero luck with getting an internship so I count this as a great blessing. I contacted United Way only to find out that they had already filled their positions. I was losing hope. Then the next morning, they called back saying one of the girls just called and dropped out, so they wanted me to come in for an interview right away. They interviewed another girl as well and after a long, long week of stress and anticipation, I was offered the position!! I am going to be busy, but know I will love it. I don't know too much about what my responsibilities will be, but I do know a few. I will be going to prenatal classes at the hospitals recruiting women to join Welcome Baby, I will do home visitations with mothers and babies teaching newborn and parenting classes, I will have weekly parent-child playgroups, and who knows what else. One unique opportunity that I know for sure is that I will be the head of social media for Welcome Baby. I have a lot to learn and can't wait to interact with so many different people. I am so grateful for this opportunity and am especially grateful for all the support and prayers that were offered in my behalf.

Flowers

The other day, we went over to Morinda with John and cut ourselves some flowers. They are getting ready to tear up all the flowers for winter, so we thought we might grab some for ourselves. I love having fresh flowers around my house. I am glad I had my camera with me because the flowers were so pretty!

Family Night

This past Monday we carved pumpkins with our friends Brad and Abby. It was a lot of fun! Matt did our pumpkin and we used a stencil. It turned out great. Brad made a devil face one. And Abby's pumpkin was so cute. So creative! We didn't have all the materials to make the one that I wanted to do, so that will probably be my next craft!

Fall Wreath

Fall wreath...check

After searching and searching for ideas I could do, I ended up just making my own up. It wasn't how I originally envisioned it turning out, but I like it. I just bought random things and put it together. This wreath is definitely not perfect and may look homemade, but who cares. I had fun making it. I love having something on our front door. Happy Fall!!!

Conference Weekend

What a great weekend. Lots of food. Lots of good talks. Lots of naps. I always look forward to Conference and can't wait to read the talks when they come out. One thing we are excited about is the announcement of the new Provo Temple. How cool is it that they are redoing the tabernacle and making it a temple. So awesome! Here's a picture of what it will look like. Another great thing about conference weekend is the food. It was definitely a sugar overload. No sugar starts tomorrow for us again. On Saturday, I made butterscotch rolls, which is a conference tradition from my side of the family. They turned out alright, but not like my mom's. Then today I made hootenanny's. These were a definite hit. We love them and they are so easy.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
