IT'S OCTOBER?!?

Where did the summer go? Wow, it's kinda been a while. Chris and I have been married for 4 months now! Yeah, yeah, that doesn't seem like a lot to most of you, but it's pretty exciting for us. Actually in just a few days is the anniversary of our engagement. I can't believe it's been that long. We're loving life though, staying busy and relaxing at the same time. Work is going well for me and I'm really enjoying what I do. Chris' job at New York Life finally got it's kickoff. It's something that takes a while to get the hang of, but he's working really hard at it and has done pretty well so far. Here's some highlights of the past couple months:

• We bought tickets to MI for Thanksgiving!! And I can't tell you how excited I am :)
• Chris broke his thumb playing softball and had to wear a cast for like 6 weeks. And this is kinda funny, the hair on his arm that was covered by the cast grows a lot faster now! haha
• Like I said, Chris has really started working his new job. I love seeing my professional husband all dressed up every day :) He's even fully equipped with a Blackberry, bluetooth, two new suits, and his own business cards! Anyone interested in life insurance?!?
• We've attended like 5 wedding receptions. Such is life in Utah during the summer I guess, right?
• Our condo has turned into a really homey place. We finally got it set up just the way we like it and we just love it here. And being able to decorate your own home is SO fun! (some pics below)
• My brother left on his mission to Boston. He left the MTC last week and we just got his first letter from the field today. He already baptized someone! (it made me cry! :)
• I've started scrapbooking our honeymoon pictures and it is so fun! I love having time do the things I love without worrying about homework anymore!
• etc., etc., etc.

Well, enough of that. Last night we carved pumpkins with our friends, Benj and Amanda and here's some pictures of that and of our cute Halloween decorations!
