Catch up!

UHi everyone. 

It's been a while since I've posted but I'll catch you up on what has happened. 

First: found two jobs. The first is a part time nanny job and the second is a server/bartender at a country club. Odd mix I know..

Second:  Adam and I went on our honeymoon..... It was wonderful!! We went to niagra falls and spent two days there. Saw everything, rode the boat tours, climbed next to the falls and saw the fireworks. It was so spectacular. What a wonderful creation for us to enjoy. We had dinner at the restaurant that sits overlooking the falls..... View=amazing. Food=good( small menu with your everyday items like cheeseburgers and wraps on it but still good) the next adventure we had on our trip was a beautiful trip to upstate New York to a town called palmyra. Here we saw many church historic sites including Joseph Smiths home as a young boy until the time he moved to Pennsylvania and then came back for a time before going to ohio. We saw the printing site where the first Book of Mormon was printed and then had a quite picnic on the grounds of the palmyra temple. Such a beautiful time. The next leg on our trip took us to kirtland ohio for a couple hour with more historic church site and then on to Cleveland for a date at Olive Garden. Stuffed mushrooms, fried zucchini, salad, bread sticks and their never ending pasta bowls and we were stuffed!!.... Yes we only ate one bowl of pasta each but can you blame us? We did get another one to go though. After a nights stay in Cleveland we headed to a small town called Monroe Indiana to visit aunt Kate and uncle John ( Adams side). A day of boating and watching Adam water ski, knee board and tub was fun. He loves the lake! After grilling steaks that night we headed to bed and got ready for our longest drive yet.... To greenwood Arkansas!!! Three wonderful days with my family, seeing friends, school shopping for my siblings, a picnic and fishing at jack creek was a perfect way to spend time with my family. Then we headed home with a stop in chariton to see Adams family and my wonderful in-laws. After dinner and being loaded up with food and cookies we headed into the last 2 hours of our drive. It was good to be back in our bed after almost two weeks of hotel rooms and spare beds at family's homes. Our trip took us into Canada to make our drive shorter to niagra falls. 

Two countries,
Over 3000 miles
10 states
Lots of fun 
Spending time with family
Equals
Priceless!!!! 

Third: it's getting cooler outside!!!! In September I've drank hot chocolate, broke out the lighter jackets, cuddled under blankets. I'm definitely not in Arkansas anymore!! 

This has all ran from the beginning of August to the end of September. 



 This is the fourth thing that has happened. The weekend of September 20-22 Adam and I have know each other for one year now. I had to work that Saturday and found this waiting for me when I got home. Such a wonderful surprise from a loving husband.
