Fall funsies

Hey ya'll.  And by ya'll I mean guys.  It's late right now but I feel like blogging.  First things first, I used to be so funny in my blog posts!  I just spent forever reading old posts and I was so funny.  I must be super lame now because my number of comments per post has dramatically decreased.  From like 3 comments down to 1.  Super dramatic.  Haha jk. 

So we have been doing some fun stuff lately!  Last week's date night was Billy's to plan.  He planned some awesome stuff!  First, we went out to eat.  Then we went and got some supplies at Michael's that we needed for our evening.  Then we came home and first...made caramel apples!!!  Yummmm!

They definitely did not turn out looking this good...the caramel actually wouldn't stick to them at all so we just had to cut up the apples and dip them.  Still delish!

Then we painted pumpkins!!  Billy got the idea online and it was so fun.  They look like this:

I will take a picture of ours and post it on here when I'm not so tired.  But they look lots like this!  This is the actual picture Billy got the idea from!  It was super fun and they are fun decorations.  We also watched the movie "Wait Until Dark" which we have owned for a while but never watched.  It was great!  So suspenseful!  Super fun date night!

Then this week, Nu Skin gave us tickets to go hear Aron Ralston speak on Friday night.  He is the guy who cut his arm off when it got stuck by a falling boulder.  So we really wanted to go to that so date night was cancelled this week.  But on Wednesday we went to Costco and after I thought it would be fun to drive up to Sundance and see all the changing leaf colors.  So that's what we did!

Here comes a lot of nature pics.  I LOVE FALL!  Notice all the little yellow trees that look like they are glowing.  Pictures don't do it justice unfortunately.

Our feetsies...

Not sure what that 23 is all about... I loved the colors of this tree.

One of the "glowy" trees.

Anyways, that was magical.  After our little drive I mentioned this idea I saw on a blog- eating doughnuts and drinking cider while watching a fun Halloween movie on October 1st.  It is a tradition in their family and I thought it sounded so fun.  Billy thought it sounded great too... it did involve doughnuts after all!  So we decided we should do it that night!  We headed to Target, bought Hocus Pocus and some cider, and went to Krispy Kreme and picked up some doughnuts!

Can you tell which doughnuts are mine and which are Billy's?  Mine are the fun ones...his are the boring chocolate ones.  Haha :)  YUMMO!

It was kind of rainy-ish and was the funnest night EVER!  Well, maybe not ever, but it was super fun!  New family tradish!  I said to Billy "what if we forget about this tradition next year?" and he said "we won't.  I'll put it in my Google Calendar."  Oh phew.

We decided that would be date night for this week.  So then Friday rolled around and we got to go listen to Aron Ralston!  It was super coolio!!  It was part of the big Nu Skin annual convention, so they had a whole bunch of awards and speeches about Nu Skin first, which was crazy.  I got so pumped about Nu Skin!  I want to start selling it!  Haha not really but kind of.  Then Aron came out on the stage...claw hand and everything!

In case you don't know who this is...he is the guy that this movie is based off of...

I read on Wikipedia about him that he makes $15,000 for each speech he gives.  Crazy sauce, am I right?  And he makes like $40,000 for international speeches. 

Before the speech...

Super excited!!!!!!!!

Anyways the speech was awesome.  He told his whole story.  And I almost vomited.  Especially when he told about breaking his bones and cutting through the nerve...yikes.  He told his story like it was the best thing that ever happened to him because it made him realize what the important things in life are.  It was actually really inspirational even though I think he is stupid for going out into the desert alone without telling anyone where he was in the first place.  Just don't do that.  He said he lost 40 pounds over those 5 days...he thought he was really going to die right there.  It was crazyyyyyyyy cool.

After that we came home and ate popcorn and drank lemonade and watched Gremlins.  Haha I was so scared to watch it because I saw like 10 seconds of it in 5th grade and have had nightmares about it ever since but we bought it for 5 bucks and decided to face my fears.  It was actually super funny and we really enjoyed it.  It was a good Halloween movie :)

Anywayzzzz that's all I have!  Next week is going to be crazy school-wise for me.  Billy has been so great and helpful.  He is teaching my Sunday School lesson for me tomorrow!  Bless his heart!!!!!!!!!!  Ok bye.

Oh p.s. here are 2 random pictures of Billy taken this week:

At work...Billy's coworker took this of him and I think it's cute haha :)

Hahaha and Billy texted this picture to me one day and said "what do you notice that is different about this picture?"  It was that he got a haircut.
