September in Review

September has been super crazy and I feel like such a slacker on the blog front! So, big news first!
Lyss is just 38 days from having Felicity and the closer she gets the more bummed I am that she's so far away. I'm gonna be so so so sad when that sweet baby gets here and I can't love on her.

{I had to Facebook stalk her baby shower pictures cause she's just so cute and preggers}

Devin got his mission call to Santa Maria, Brazil and is leaving in February, I'm super excited for him but I don't know how exactly I am supposed to function without being able to harass each other.

{Dev's only mildly excited, and by mildly I mean ridiculously}

School started up again and I'm slowly getting into the swing of things. Having Landon around has been really great, but getting into the swing of things now includes the swing of his schedule {which is almost totally opposite of mine} and that's a pain sometimes. My textbooks finally showed up yesterday which made me happy- now I can actually do homework and not just pretend I know what the heck is going on!

I got called as Relief Society Secretary, which has been fun so far but also feels a little bit overwhelming. We have a ton of girls in the ward and I know a handful of them. Learning names has been my priority for the week {I'm not doing super hot}

I'm moving the first of October, which is good and bad. I'm excited to pay less for rent, not so excited to lose my own place. I've gotten kind of attached to my cute little studio. And the ability to do things at all hours of the night and not worry about bothering other people or people bothering me. I'm not thrilled about the moving process {especially since Landon and I are planning on heading up to Clifton again shortly after I start moving} but it should be okay this time since I'm not moving states, just down the street basically.

Idaho

Landon and I made a trip up to Idaho this weekend. He had a few things to get done back home and I was pretty much just along for the ride. {Mostly though, we went just because we could.}

Seriously though, if I could be back home in 2 hours I would be making the trip all the time so I don't know how he doesn't do it.

It was a real kick watching him point out all these things on the way up

And for a while he didn't mind my obnoxious road trip camera behavior {look how cute he is!}

At some point he got kind of fed up with it but was trying really, really hard to be patient with me

Anyway, 2 hours and a million random video recordings later, we got to Preston, ID where we watched a couple of his nephews play football and I met some of his family {who are all super awesome, by the way} then finished the trip into Clifton {I'm in love with Clifton. It's so sweet and it makes me miss being outside the city so bad!} 

We just had a blast running around doing farm work {and by doing farm work I mean I took pictures while Landon did all the hard work}, playing with cows and dogs, and hanging out at the lake.

Nothing can compete with Colorado sunsets, but Idaho was pretty dang close. 

{PS by lake, I obviously mean puddle. It was pretty low... something about a hole in the dam}

It was a fantastic trip! We were both nervous about me going up with him {new girlfriend meeting the family and all} but I don't know that it could have gone any better. It was so much fun and we're looking for an excuse to go up again soon {plus, Landon and I managed 37.5 straight hours with each other and nobody got hurt or called names. I think that's more of an accomplishment than any of it}

{This is honestly the only picture of me from the whole trip. I think I prefer being behind the camera}
