Kick Off

I have the CUTEST boyfriend, ever.

A few nights ago he told me that on friday he wanted to take me to hike Stewart Falls.

So yesterday was friday - and we hiked Stewart Falls!

A great way to kick off the warm-weather-dating-season.

It was so much fun to be with each other and be up in the mountains, able to forget about everything back down on the flat lands of reality. It was just the two of us and our conversation. Couldn't get any better than that.

I was happy camper.

I was in nature - the second best (*tied with one other place) place in the world to be

&

 I was with my handsome Craig - the very best place in the world to be :)

*Disney, of course. (17 days!)

spooky

I can't sleep tonight. Again. [shock.] So how about another post? 

I went on a date tonight. A very fun date! My date, Trevor, and I doubled with my best friend Dani and her boyfriend, Dallin. For this date, we went to Thanksgiving Points little Halloween fest, called, Cornbelly's. 

don't let this happy corn-man fool you...its scary there.

This place wasn't messing around. They had something there for everyone. We'd initially gone thinking there was just one haunted corn maze you go through. Turns out there was much, much more. Normal corn mazes, a haunted one, haunted "creatures" you walk through, a clown house and some more, but I won't bore you with the details.

We were brave people and took on the scary ones. I think its safe to say we were very, very scared. Or Dani and I were, at least. Very. I don't know why people do that kind of stuff for fun. Crazies. I can think of a million more fun things to do than scare yourself silly. I am a screamer and I feel like thats almost all I did tonight. It didn't help that I was that "lucky" person that kept getting scary people up in my face! Jeepers.. 

Regardless of the crazy scariness I partook in, I had a fabulous time with those three amazing people and feel pretty proud of us for braving such scary places - and I'm glad Trev didn't seem to mind me sticking like glue to him anytime I was scared. We made some pretty good memories there, too (: I'd share...but I think in this case, what happened in the corn maze, stays in the corn maze!

sorry, didn't take a picture of myself with dallin ;) 

As Promised..

Temple Square was a success.

It was freezing but worth it.

The lights were pretty.

I got good photographs.

Todd is fantastic.

What can I say.. We're cute.

This one is my favorite!!!!!! Gah.. I'm dying. Its darling.

This was a fun date. Finding parking was horrible, though. I am not even joking when I say it probably took us 30-45 minutes. CRAZY!! We actually totally lucked out though and followed a random car who led us into a parking lot right across the street from the temple grounds. Lucky us. Looking at the lights was so much fun, they are SO pretty and the temple is beautiful as always. We had fun reading these little paper bag looking things that were over fake candles (maybe that made sense?) that had words in different languages on them. Oli-Oli was our favorite, that is Samoan for either Joy or Happiness.. Dang it I can't remember.. Anyway.. After we were frozen solid, we got back into our car and went to Iggy's to eat. SO fun! Then we made the long drive home. We were tired. I fell asleep in the car, whoops!

Ahh..It was good stuff.

I am a very lucky girl, indeed.

I love my sweet boy

Don't you like how we matched the lights so well?!

The Excitement is Built-Up Inside of Me

Ya know how when you're REAL excited for something time seems to go by SOOO dang slow? I'm experiencing this at the moment. (Course maybe thats not so bad, I've been wishing time would slow up lately..Todd leaves on his mission WAY too soon.) Anywho..6:30 tomorrow night simply is not coming soon enough. At that time, I will be driving up to SLC with my beautiful Todd to go see the lights at Temple Square with another couple, Jared and Blaynie. I am not sure why I am choosing to be so excited about this event, but I certainly am. Incredibly excited, guys. I've seen the pretty lights before, but it has always been with my family. I know lots of people who go see the lights with their bf/gf and it has always just sounded so darling to me. I've wanted to do this with a significant other for some time.. So finally, thanks to Todd, I get to be one of those cute couples! :) It is going to be so fun to do something with Todd that we don't typically do on a daily basis, ya know?! Hee yay me! I'll take photos and post my favorites on here soon, k?!
