Fall.

Here are some of the highlights of Fall.

Kelby came home.

My cousin Kelby came home from serving a two year mission in Minneapolis, Minnesota speaking Hmong. Kennadi had never met Kelby so we opted to go to the airport to welcome him home. Kennadi was a little hesitant at first but after we went to lunch and Kelby shared his ice cream they became good friends. They haven’t stopped being good friends either, mainly because Kelby spoils her rotten.

Friday Night Date nights.

Poor Austin has been crazy busy the past couple of months. He is currently working full time, doing night classes, taking a ton of online classes to help him graduate next semester, and still tries to squeeze in some time for Kennadi and I. Basically, he is a rockstar! Some of our favorite things to do together include snuggling in bed and watching Netflix. Since we have caught up on all of our favorite shows (Arrested Development, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and New Girl) we decided one night to redbox a show Kennadi would like and made caramel apples. Kennadi thought she was pretty hot stuff all night!

                        

Emergency Room Visit.

One night I woke up in excruciating pain. I couldn’t lay, stand, sit, kneel, crawl. Nothing. Finally after hours of me trying to relieve the pain and nothing working, Austin insisted he take me to the emergency room. At the hospital, the doctor’s initial diagnosis was appendicitis. They sent me into do a cat scan to make sure that was the problem where they found that it was not appendicitis. I had a large ruptured ovarian cyst instead. This means that there was absolutely nothing they could do for me except let my body take care of it by itself, which takes a couple of days. I wasn’t super excited about that but after they pumped a ton of morphine into my body and sent me home with more pain killers I didn’t mind. Luckily, I have a great mom who came down and watched Kennadi so I could rest and a sweet husband who took great care of me. I haven’t had any more cysts since then. I am hoping and praying that it was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal.

Jazz Season.

The Utah Jazz Season is officially underway. This is personally one of my favorite parts about Fall. We don’t have cable at our house which means I haven’t been able to watch a lot of the games. It has been a real bummer. Not watching the games hasn’t stopping me from brain washing my sweet, innocent Kennadi though!

Josi’s Wedding.

Josi, one of the three amigos, got hitched the first part of November. She married Greg Hawkes in the Brigham City Temple and had her reception in Tremonton. I was asked to be a bridesmaid so I was able to go the ceremony, reception, and luncheon. Everything was beautiful and very well put together.  Now that all of the three amigos are married, I need to convince them to start planning a cruise together!

BYU Basketball Game.

Lorie and Clay had some extra tickets to a BYU Basketball Game and invited us. I haven’t been to a basketball game in a while so we definitely took them up on that offer. It just so happened that Austin’s Uncle Paul and cousins Quinn and Mykaela were at the same game. It was pretty poorly attended so they came and sat in front of us. Kennadi loved all the attention and especially loved everyone feeding her snacks. BYU ended up winning, by far, but it was still a fun game.
