It has been way too long!

Dear friends, we apologize for our lack of blogging and knowing that it may have caused deep sadness and woe, we humbly ask that you have sweet mercy upon us for this.

But it gives me great pleasure to update you all on what has happened these past two months.

8 Years of Annoyance and Love
In September, we celebrated 8 years of love. I read something on Facebook that says, "I love being married. It's so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life." I love Leslie so much and I know that I annoy her, but she is tolerant and will put up with great amounts of nonsense and she loves me no matter what sort of mood I am in. We were short on cash and decided that doing something simple would make this year memorable. So we wanted to check out this sub place called Firehouse Subs; it was decent but nothing to die over but it was a wonderful time to spend with each other. I took Leslie to buy See's Candy before this and she about died over that; so it was off to a great start. After that, we wanted to check out a mini-golf place that also had a batting cage. We played one round of golf and then went off to the batting cage. Leslie is very athletic and has always wanted to go to a batting cage together. I don't care much for it but this day was for her and I took a whack at it. I've been once to a batting cage but I didn't find it thrilling but this time I did it for her...totes adorb, right? We then came back to play another round of golf after hitting like 96 rounds of softballs and baseballs...I am a fragile little guy and the whole night my arms were a little flimsy from hitting; whatevs!

Food, glorious food. #welovefood

  Good looking fella, right there

My wife, what a powerhouse; she killed it.

HOLE-IN-ONE!!! What?!

   My life would not be complete if I didn't have this beauty in my life.

October, this best month of the year!

I love this month and all of the wonderful times that we have. General Conference was amazing and full of great insight. Even though it is most excellent to hear from our leaders, I always struggle with paying any sort of attention, because #1: I am at home in my pj's and that makes it extra hard to focus, but this year, I did not fall asleep and I took some great notes...holla! Leslie knows how I struggle with my attention span and bought me a Spirograph from Target...#loveher.

My new toy and I love it.

                                  

Leslie got herself a piano and it was like an early Christmas for her; it was a priceless moment and she was super happy about it and the best part is that she got it for free...WHAT?!

My cute wifey and her new toy. #blessed

                                 

Also, this is the best month because of Halloween; it's my Christmas and I spent a lot of time making things and decorating for it. 

 I found this witch on Pinterest and brought her to life.

Apparently I don't have any other pictures of my decor, but nonetheless, it was pretty fun. This year we dressed up; Leslie was a witch and I was Igor.

 I made the hat, which was another Pinterest find. It took cardboard and tinfoil and I hand painted the whole thing; it took 3 days to make it.

We took a trip to New Mexico with our dog

Leslie's youngest sister and her husband had a little girl in September and last month they had a huge family gathering and the baby blessing. It was a quick trip but we loved every minute of it. Even though Percy loves car rides, he knows that it is going to be a long one. I find that every time we go on a trip, we always seem to hit snags: low tire pressure, snow, ridiculous amounts of construction; it never fails, BUT...we got to be with family and meet our adorable niece. It was a fantastic time.

NOW!!!

School is going well and I am coming to the end of my second semester. It definitely has been challenging with a copious amount of school work and projects but I have been able to do some serious personal growth and self-awareness. I have met amazing people that are in the same program and we have made great friendships. Leslie is a rock star through it all and I am forever grateful and indebted to her for sacrificing what she had back home to come out with me and once again put me through school. I love her and am so in love.

WELL FRIENDS, THIS IS OUR UPDATE. I hope that you have been assured that we are alive and well and our still loving it here in the Springs. It did snow a couple days ago and is like 5 degrees; awesome!!! Until next time...

OH...BUT WAIT! I FORGOT SOMETHING. *Please play the video
