I Love To See The Temple

One of my goals for this Semester has been to attend the Temple once a week. As I have stuck to this goal, I have seen the blessings FLOOD into my life. 
THIS IS THE HOUSE OF THE LORD!
I am so grateful to live in a town so close to so many Temples! This is a blessing that I will not take for granted. 
There is no better way to start a day. :)

Frankenstein & His Bride


*Disclaimer: I may or may not have a huge, fatty crush on Halloween. 

Ok so we may have gone just a *tad* bit over the top...

 It's my third favorite Holiday, cut me some slack!
We ran the BYU Halloween Spooktacular event so we had a good excuse...
 We did it for the children!
Ok, ok, honestly and truly it was as much for me as it was for the children. We had a BLAST though. Can't wait to see what next year will bring! ;)

The Hallowed Eve

Just a little Halloween Decor for the Homestead.
Momma taught me well.
I'm hoping this means we can hold off on the whole "cleaning" thing for awhile. ;)

Bittersweet Tradition

Emily and Briana are two of my all time favorite people in this world. We've all just been reunited here in Provo, only to say goodbye again. Miss Briana has decided to travel through Europe on Study Abroad this semester. Such a punk! Thankfully we got the chance to carry out our Hike the Y tradition with a feast at Zupas afterwards. These ladies are the best!

Banana Leaf

Today we tried Banana Leaf! Food from Srilanka and Singapore!
It was beyond delicious!
Our Aloe Very Raspberry Lemonade and Mango Lasi drinks! The Mango Lasi had the perfect amount of chocolate in it, and both were a surprisingly soothing accent to our spicy food.
Appetizers :)
Jake got Chicken Marsala or something like that....
I got the Chicken Kothu! Perfect balance between spicy and sweet. Banana Leaf is our 40th restaurant! To say we like to eat is an understatement. ;)

MTC & Mini Golf

This morning Aunty Kalo, Uncle Lona, Dad, Lami, Ia and I dropped Elder Tuiketei off at the MTC. I could not be more excited or grateful for his example and desire to serve the Lord. I am so glad I got to experience dropping him off with my Dad and brothers. All the Mission Presidents and General Authorities happened to be in the MTC today, and you could feel their presence. Coolest experience ever. I would say that I'm going to miss dear Elder Tuiketei but I won't since he's exactly where he's supposed to be, doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing. He is awesome, and I know his family will be blessed for his service.
After that, Steven and I ran our Mini Golf event, which was the first event I worked as an official employee. Everyone had a blast. We built a Windmill for our last hole with a rotisserie chicken cooker on the inside to turn the blades of the fan. This was Steven's idea after taking a shopping trip down to the DI. We named her the Windmill of Doom and she is a beauty.
We used t-shirts as prizes for those that made in through the blades of the windmill and a Jamba Juice certificate to those that made a hole in one. Each player had three shots to make the magic happen. We didn't give out too many Jamba certificates, but we did get rid of a lot of t-shirts. It's hard to believe I get paid to do this. Best job ever.
