We carried on our Halloween party tradition here in Iowa and had some friends over for a little shin dig tonight. One of the couples we just met and there is quite the story behind our "serendipitous" meeting. Ella came in to J.Crew while I was working and I helped her into a fitting room. She has gorgeous hair with ombre coloring so I asked her who did it. She said she had it done in Salt Lake, to which I replied, "that's where I'm from!" She was so happy to have met someone who was in the same situation as her. We swapped numbers and I invited her over for our Halloween party. So we have some fun new friends all because I asked her who did her hair :) It was meant to be I tell ya.  So Happy Hallo"weenie" from Iowa! No costumes for us this year, we were boring, but Thor donned his new Halloween sweater. 

  We continued our annual fall tradition and headed to Nauvoo over Landon's fall break. It was so beautiful with the leaves changing and the weather was perfect. We stayed overnight, went to the temple, did a tour of the Joseph Smith historic sites (includes the Mansion house, Red Brick Store, etc.) that are still owned by The Community of Christ, and on the way home we hit the pumpkin patch that we found last year. It was a much needed and fun little get away.  I made these fun little blocks at a ladies craft night we did with some women in the ward. I found these on pinterest and shared the idea on our ward facebook page and then got roped into being in charge of putting together the kits for everyone who was interested. That made for a crazy week, but it was fun to have a little craft night. I had to throw in this picture of Thor. So funny. hehe :) Our little dog child.
