October Goals Reviewed


OCTOBER
Spiritual
Family Prayer
(We are getting better at this)

Attend the temple
(I failed I just became too busy! Plus, I wanted to go with Brian and his recommend was lost in the move. So we were waiting to get his temple recommend. We were just put into a new stake and they were still organizing things.  So it took about a month to get his Stake presidency appointment for a recommend.  Thankfully he got it on Sunday. We are going on Friday though)

Become better a personal prayer
(This is still a work in progress)

Be grateful for the opportunity I have to speak in Sacrament

Snow

Woke up to this and it is still snowing.
I'm just so glad that my only class today was canceled. 
I'm not a fan of the snow but I suppose that I should get used to it. 
Brian and I will still be here for a year.

October Goals

 *Thank you Nadie for giving me this idea of writing down monthly goals* 

President Monson said, "There is nothing more important than the goal you strive to attain"


After listening to conference I decided that I needed to become a little better and a little kinder. I know that I have several areas that need improving and this is me trying to become a better disciple of Jesus Christ.
As long as I am progressing I will not be digressing.

Making Caramel Apples


 Brian and I decided to make caramel apples as a fun fall activity together<3 p="p">
(Alright, I more so wanted to do it and didn't give Brian much of a choice)
(Just a quick picture of us before we got started)

The apples before they were caramelized. 
Brian stretching the caramel over the apple
 The finished products<3 p="p">
The finished product was way delicious!!!
 Brian on the other hand didn't finish his because there was too much caramel for him.
It was a quick little activity to get us away from doing homework but it was so much fun!
It took like 10 minutes to do it but it was the perfect break!
I love being able to do little things like this with Brian:)
