life lately: fall edition.

Lately, I've found that I've been taking more pictures of the outdoors than I have of people (namely myself and Zac). Thank you, Fall, for being so pretty this year! 

As much as I've loved Fall this year, the little signs of Winter have been really special, too. There's still snow on the ground from the snow storm last weekend, and it's making me hopeful about a white Christmas!

snapshots.

Here are a few photos from Park City last weekend that I took with my iPhone. To sum it all up: we never left each others' side, and there was a lot of snow.

halloween eve.

Just a few photos from tonight. After consuming what I'm pretty sure was my entire day's worth of calories in candy at work today, Zac and I bought some candy corn to eat. Now I'm regretting it as I sit here with a horrible stomach ache. 

I carved my first jack-o-lantern in years! It was hard, and not as fun as I remember it being (where's my Holiday spirit?!), but I did it. We have three more pumpkins to carve! 

Tomorrow is Halloween, and I just thought of what to dress up as a couple of hours ago. And for it being so last-minute, I'm quite proud of how clever I am for thinking it up.

Happy Halloween!

the first day of snow.

I know I talk and talked about the snow that fell yesterday, but this morning, we woke up to snow on the ground. It's what I consider the first day of snow here in this town. The ground was white with it, and I drove in it, and it felt like I was flying through space.

When I got to work this morning, there were so many clouds in the sky, and they were dark. It looked like the sun hadn't risen yet, like it was still nighttime.  That's when I got up from my desk, went outside, and took this picture (the clouds don't look dark, but they were, I promise). And then, when I looked out the window next, the sun was out, the clouds were gone, and so was the snow. But it's okay, because it's snowing tonight, and I'm sure there will be more of it when I was up tomorrow.

I am ecstatic. I can't believe the snow is here!

we smelt like camp fire.

We just arrived back from visiting the Swensons' cabin for the day, watching General Conference, eating way too much white bean chili and caramel apples, and going for a ride through the mountains.

And we smelt like a camp fire when we came home, so we had an early shower and washed all of our clothes.

More pictures to follow.
