All better, Wednesday!

1. Happy Halloween! I went to a fun party! 

I dressed up as Wednesday Addams with a new shirt I got from DI. It is Daniel and Kelsey’s birthdays tomorrow so we had a joint birthday party/Halloween party. And there were tons of trick or treaters that came to the door. It was adorable. Some day I’d like to be known as the good house on Halloween routes. 

2. I loved people trying to guess what I was today. Not as many people dressed up at the hospital this year, sad. But you can always count on me! 

3. Connor finished his midterms tonight and I celebrated by giving him a chocolate muffin from costco. Life is beautiful! We have such wonderful neighbors and ward members and friends. 

On a scale of one to even, I can’t

1. I only worked 4 hours today. 

2. I got 5 movies from the library 

3. We renewed our costco memberships tonight then spent almost two weeks worth of budget in one fell swoop. Woo! 

(Backup) Temples and everything nice

1. We went to the Meridian temple open house! And Adam came! 

2. We slept in so we were nicer people on our way today. 

3. The drive was nice and I somewhat conquered my fear of cruise contro

Becca boo

1. BECCA CAME TO WORK!! 

2. It was so sad to work with her for the last time, I’m so excited she’s getting married in a month!! 

3. Alexandra and I went to visit Jeanice and spent an hour there talking and laughing, I’m so bummed Alexandra is moving next month. 

Tuesday

1. My personal finance class was lovely :) 

2. I finally watched “Easter Parade” and now I’m sad that I haven’t watched it before. It’s so sweet :) 

3. Mycah came back to work. I love it when she’s at work.

Sabbath day is a special day

1. Our cute downstairs neighbors texted me asking if they could come up for a game night. I said yes and we played two fun games and had chips and salsa! I really love those Deschamps. 

2. Jeanice texted me asking if we had any sour cream, then said she could send her husband to pick it up, so I zoomed over there before they had a chance to put their shoes on. She gave me a hug. 

3. Connor and I finally finished fablehaven! It ends lovely. 

To mow or not to mow

1. I saved $22 at the grocery store today! 

2. I bought candy for the office and dropped it off there. 

3. Connor came home relatively early (9:45) and we had a nice little family council which was part of our personal finance class homework. 

You betta work

1. Our ward had a service auction tonight. You bring cans of food and get a fake dollar amount based on how many you brought, then Daniel was the auctioneer and we bid on all of the things people donated to be auctioned off. Connor and I got a free photoshoot from someone whose photos I really love! 

2. I gave Hannah and tanner low the rest of our phony money so they could get something they really really wanted. 

3. I stayed up really late so could see and hug Connor for a minute. It’s been a long week and it was nice to just be with him for a few minutes. 

I’m tired

1. I love Benadryl, I sleep so well and cozy. Plus, gets rid of nasty allergies. 

2. I made yummy pizza for dinner, I love frozen pizza because you can make the crust as crunchy as you want! 

3. I went to the temple after getting off work early and they played my favorite video. Plus it’s fall, gotta love that jazz. 

Happy hump day

1. I worked out again! It seriously makes me so happy every time. I want to make more time for it, but right now my 10,000 step a day goal and exercise 3 times a week is working. 

2. Connor thanked me for bringing him dinner to campus. He’s a sweetheart and said very nice things about me. 

3. I worked at Mycah’s desk in the thick of the clinic. Sometimes it makes me sad that didn’t get to be my desk since it was the desk of the person whose job I took over, but we’re moving everything in a few months anyway. All is well. 

Becoming Sabrina

1. I watched becoming Jane when I got home and that movie just rips my heart out every time. Connor got to listen to me carry on about it. 

2. My personal finance class today was excellent! I laughed a lot! I really like our little group. 

3. I got 13000 steps and I didn’t even go to the gym! 

Monday smonday

1. Connor and I had a frank discussion about grad school and I’m feeling pretty good about life. 

2. I ended up working much longer than anticipated, but got a ton done. 

3. I got many many steps and made a large effort to get them early in the day, I really want to win this challenge. 

Can’t stop staring at the wreath

1. It was so nice to go back to regular church today after being away from it for over a month. Woo! 

2. My visiting teachers came this morning. That has also been awhile. 

3. I was struck with this overwhelming sense of gratitude today when I realized all we have been blessed with and how we’re fitting in well with our sweet ward. 

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night, S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night

1. 

I made this. My mom gave me the inspiration last year and we bought all the ornaments right after Christmas so they were cheaper, then we didn’t want to make it till we moved and other things have been taking priority. So I finally did it and I’m so pleased with how it turned out :) 

2. I raked the leaves in the yard today which is nice that falls under my job and yard care reaponsibilities so we get discounted rent. I love discounted rent 

3. I spoke with my mom, then my dad, then Connor, then my mom again all for a nice chunk of time. It was a nice day to chat. I’m excited to go up there in two weeks! 

Rainy days and Friday’s

1. 

I do hard things at work.. :) we decorated for boss day on Monday. 


Picture of Mycah getting her nutrageous bars yesterday at the party. 

On my walk home. I love this season. I hope I’m sufficiently soaking it all in. 

This stud went to get extra credit for a class and had to take a selfie. So he sent it to me and I 😍😍😍 till he got home. 

Just pictures today, since that seems to be a pretty good scale for how I’m doing depression wise. More photos = less depression in my world. Not a conscious choice, just something I’ve picked up on over the years. 

Surprise! Mycah’s house

1. We pulled off surprising Mycah with all her gifts! It was a lot of work, but so unbelievably fun! I’m so glad it turned out well. 

2. I successfully made dairy free zoupa toscana and got a lot of compliments. It was really good :) 

3. I had dinner with Michele. I love that woman. I’m glad we get to be friends and family and spend all this time together. She makes me feel spoiled and so so loved. 

4. I went to the gym after dinner and did 4 miles on the elliptical! I love ellipticals! And I really love the gym. 

Thank heaven for days like these

1. Work has got me pretty far down, thank heaven for Connor who lifts me right back up. 

2. We made soup today!! I have never been very skilled with soup making so I’m grateful for the way this one smells. Can’t wait to eat it tomorrow! 

3. We finished putting together Mycah’s gifts and they’re all situated in the car. I just can’t think where to put them tomorrow before lunch so she doesn’t see them. I’ll ask Dorothy when I get in to stash them in mammo somewhere. I’m so excited!! 

(Backup) Funnancial

1. Connor got a step closer to figuring out what the rest of his career is going to look like. I’m excited for our future and babies. 

2. Today was a wonderful day at work! I covered the front desk because poor Lindsay was sick :( I enjoy working at the front desk every now and again. I love talking with patients and I miss that in my every day job. 

3. I got over 10,000 steps again today! Our team is killing this challenge! 

Knees and things

1. Last night I told Connor my nose was cold, we had been trying to sleep for about 20 minutes at this point and he just got up and left. I heard rummaging around then silence. Long enough that I got concerned so I followed him to see what was up. He met me just outside the room and presented me with a neatly folded tissue and some tape. Then proceeded to attempt to tape it to my face unsuccessfully because I was laughing too hard. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. I hope I didn’t wake the neighbors 😂

2. Connor and I went straight to the gym after I picked him up from campus and I crushed 4 miles on the elliptical! Now my knee is killing me and Connor thinks it looks crooked, I think I’ve put off the physical therapist long enough. Maybe someday I’ll be able to crouch down again!  

3. For FHE we read our patriarchal blessings and discussed the relevance they have to our current situation, mine made me more grateful for my sweet and kind husband. It says things like harsh words won’t be spoken in our home and we will bless each other and our kids, if you’d like to learn more about patriarchal blessings visit Mormon.org it’s a blessing given by Heavenly Father through an ordained patriarch specific to you. I love mine and hope to refer to it more often. 

Stake conference

1. Another Sunday without regular church. I miss our ward, they’re fun people. But we heard some things in the conference about our patriarchal blessings that made Connor come home and read his to get more guidance down our directional path. Give it to God, then go to work. 

2. 

3. We made cookies and delivered them to some friends and to Maia. I love her :) 

4. I miss having early church, we did so many other things afterwards and just fully enjoyed the day. 

I was so active today

1. Lindsey Deschamps and I went to Zumba step together again and I did wayyy better this time. 

2. I went for another bike ride. I love riding in the fall with all the beautiful leafs falling all over the place. 

3. 

FaceTiming Taco Bell

1. We went on a date! Well, he went to the Taco Bell on campus and I went by our house and we face timed. 

2. See 

3. I went to sleep with wet hair last night and woke up like this 

Provo Canyon

1. 

2. Riding up the canyon is way harder than riding down the canyon. All the cyclists coming down the canyon while I was going up looked smug and I thought it was because I was obviously struggling so hard, nope, it’s because it’s a breeze coming back down and they knew that while I didn’t. That made Connor laugh when I told him. 

3. Connor has been stressed so he called me and talked through his code while I did other things. He works much better that way and says it’s really helpful. 

4. I love fall because LEAF FALL DOWN! 

Provo river trail

1. I went for a bike ride down the provo river trail after work today, it was lovely! And now my knees hurt, but I’m a good way. 

2. I made Connor chocolate chip and white chocolate chip cookies when I got home from that. Seriously, there’s a ton. 

3. Smith’s was doing a thing when I went to buy chocolate chips and I spun the wheel and got a free diet dr. Pepper! (!) 

Dude.

1. 

Never a dull moment. 

2. I went to the finance class today, I even walked there in all the nice fall wind. 

3. We started a step challenge yesterday and so far I’m blowing it out of the water. Woo! 

Friendly home evening

1. Tonight was our monthly friendly home evening with our dear dear group of friends. I love every one of them. 

2. We ate waffles and played catch phrase at Spencer and Haileys house! 

3. Mycah and I had a very good day at work with lots of giggling. Plus we got our flu shots and I got 11000 steps for the day! 

For your viewing pleasure 

All those Christopherson's

1. Max and Maia came to our house to watch conference! So I made Popeye pancakes for breakfast then enchiladas for dinner! 

2. We took a walk up the canyon and the colors were amazing! 

3. Connor and I did the dishes together. It's so fun. And funny how being married makes little tiny things an adventure.
