In September we went to Virginia to visit Jonathan's brother and his family. Our nephew was getting baptized so that was the reason we went when we did. It was absolutely beautiful out there! I fell in love with it. We went to Washington DC a couple of the days and even got to visit the DC temple. We were surprised at how cranky everyone in DC was. Even the tour guides and customer service people who you would think would be kind were quite mean. It was neat to see all of the sites though. My favorite part of DC was probably t he Lincoln memorial. He is one of my favorite people and the sunset there was beautiful. The pictures are all below. We also visited UVA campus. There is so much history behind everything there.
We celebrated both our birthdays this October. Jonathan brought me to dinner and cleaned the house and even made me a cake for my birthday. I got him a cat for his. Neither of us actually like cats but this little kitten came up to me when I was in Spanish Fork seeing a patient. It was snowing and the poor thing was shivering and wet and tried to climb up my leg. I couldn't find an owner so I brought it home and put an ad on KSL classifieds to find it's owner. I will admit it was cute but it was quite the little pest. We named him Pedro. We found a home for it and that will certainly be the last time I try to "save" a kitten.
We had a lot of fun dressing up for our ward Halloween party on Friday. I love Halloween and I have been planning our costumes since July! I decided we would be the children from the movie "Up" (Carl and Ellie). Mainly cause I like the idea of wearing overalls and blacking out my tooth. I am already thinking of next years costumes...
Life has been so good. We are just enjoying this stage of life and working on planning for the future. We are still not sure where we will be the next few years but that is what makes it so exciting. There are many good times and hard times ahead and I am grateful to have such a wonderful spouse with whom I can face it all.
