Beautiful weekend

I love these pleasant days... the seasonally transitional days. You know, saying goodbye to Summer while saying hello to Fall days. The warm sun rays streaming through the sky to warm your insides, and at the same time feeling a cool breeze brush across your face is the best.

I also love Conference weekends. I anticipate it and I love sitting down and hearing the warmth of the Lord's servants' voices echo throughout my tiny apartment. Throw a little Mo Tab in there and I'm completely content.

I also love making special breakfasts for Conference weekend. I'm pretty sure every Mormon household does something special for their families, whether it's Saturday or Sunday mornings. This weekend, we had waffles topped with fresh fruit... and my own personal touch of powdered sugar. Yum.
I'm so bad about uploading pictures... so this is my only one! But it sure is pretty isn't it ;)
I also love spending the time with my husband. In every way you can show that... love... ;) Hey, we're young! But in all seriousness, I love having him around. Our weekdays get so consumed in our individual tasks, that it's nice to catch a break on the weekends.

So, as you can see, there was a lot of loving this weekend. P.S. wasn't the Mormon Tab amazing when they sang that last song, God Be With You Till We Meet Again? I was dozing off on our bed towards the end of Conference, but I distinctly remember hearing the choir begin. If a soul can smile, mine definitely was. A warmth and comfort came over me. A great love for my faith and for the opportunity I have to listen to living Prophets speak swelled up in me as my ears listened to that sweet melody. At the same time, I felt sad that this wonderful Conference was coming to an end.
I am a Mormon. I know it. I live it. I love it.

Hello, October!

It's SOUP weather!!! And I got a yummy white bean and chicken soup you'd love.

The cold came quite suddenly, but I LOVE it. 
I just unpacked my scarves. Mmm. Love layering up. And we all know that my "grandma" slipper socks will be making their debut in no time ;) Poor Max.. Haha. If you don't remember from last winter, go read this post on my stylish Fall/Winter apparel...

My obsession with crafting has also been taking off while I sit all cozy at the kitchen table in the evenings: 

And I'm just finishing up a burlap wreath. It's looking good so far! I was nervous about sturdiness because it's on a coat hanger... Pictures to come. P.S., it's burlap from Home Depot. WAY cheaper than buying the "nicer" stuff. And it works just as great. Bonus.

I got a library card the other day! Which.. I don't know why I did that. I don't have time to read for pleasure! (But, she has time for crafting, you say? Yeah, don't know what happened there...). But I am going to research some good ones for Christmas break. I know it's a ways out but...hey, I got Micro to tackle here and it ain't easy! Any good reads? I DID pick up a vintage-like book of "The Gingerbread Man" for $.50 though! You can tell I'm totally gearing up for motherhood when everything I want, get, or "pin" is revolved around children. I figure its better to start buying little things here and there so that when we do get a little peanut, it's not this huge wave of bills. Though I'm sure it'll be a rush no matter what I do.. every little bit helps, eh?

Huh?

So I was going through and adding labels to some of my posts, mostly my DIY posts, and for some reason, it moved two old posts to the front of the pack! Weird. Hopefully it will correct itself but oh well!

Anyone else loving this fall weather today? Too bad it's supposed to get hot again! I am dying for pumpkins, and scarves, and holiday decor! Pinterest is giving me a laundry list of ideas! Follow me and see what I mean :)
